Re: Best Swirlfinder/Defect Light?

I used to use a Brinkman but now use the 3M SunGun as seen in the link: -

They are often on ebay USA for not much money and they are better than the Brinkman although the Brinkman is very good

What makes the 3M SunGun better than the Brinkman in your opinion?

For everyone that has the Brinkman Dual Xenon-

Can you detect if the painted surface has marring using this light? Will it show up or is this light mainly for detecting cob webb scratches and deeper scratches?

I live in NO. California and shop a lot in Oregon (Medford) and found mine for $24.99 at a Fred Meyer (Oregon store only?????) Googled it some time ago and found for the same price, some Lowes, Home Depot may have them......

Any tips on the cheapest place to grab a Brinkman?

Re: Best Swirlfinder/Defect Light?

Ditto:



Brinkman has various lights, dual halogen, LED, etc. if your looking, check the package, they all look alike as far as the light. Make sure you read instructions on how to properly charge her up.

Have fun.

I use the Brinkmann Dual xenon light. It will find them.

I have seen quite a few of you use a light to find swirl marks/defects in the paint when it is dark outside, or when the car is in the garage. I have always used the sun, but obviously it isn't out all the time, and we obviously don't detail in the sun. So I think it's time to invest a few dollars in a portable, handheld light (not the halogen lights with stands you can get at sears). I want one that I can use on-the-go. So my question is for those of you that use such an animal, which one is the best one or which one do you guys use. I have done a little research and it seems like the Brinkmann Maxfire Dual Xenon Spotlight is a good choice. What do you guys think?
