This is a sun gun:  It's a specialised torch designed to for colour matching from body shops. Detailers use it to aid detection and removal of swirls. The CRI of the bulb used is close to that of the sun, which is meant to be the ultimate "sun gun". The problem is that it costs £400!!!  Hence some people have decided to make their own: clickyI built mine from a B&Q cordless drill and a halogen bulb, like others. Total cost was around £20, which when compared to the £400 sun gun, is a bargain. _________________ He fights for the users.

God no. I get twitchy enough as it is watching Dad wash his car. Then I find sponges left in buckets of dirty water with no explanation. Or when I want to wash my car, and I can't find the drying towel. The last thing I need is the encouragement of a group of strangers.

Not to mention when you look up "anal [LIFTED] with too much money and time" in the dictionary, there's an URL for DW. Of course the wolf is no stranger to anal what with probably being a member of "The Ultimate Resource".  Prof, that list of toys is indeed very interesting. Please do keep us posted...

You don't have to that bad. I've spent only £1000 and most of that was frivolous spending. You could get by with around £100 worth of product. Have to ask...what's "the ultimate resource"?  Depends on how you define anal. There are definitely those who will wash their cars three or four times a week. During the summer, I'll wash the car every one or two weeks. During the winter, it may well be once a month.

Mine gets washed on it's birthday. If it's lucky. It mostly depends on whether the garage that services it also gives it a clean _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

Can anyone tell me the difference between the 'James Cameron Says Sequels and "Battleship" are Ridiculous' and the 'Movie news and trailers' threads?

I can't, but I fear merging the two threads might end up very, very messy. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter. "Let my windows be open to receive new ideas but let me also be strong enough not to be blown away by them." - Mahatma Gandhi.

I think your comment is eccentric and most definitely foreign.

ukmkivs.net They expanded it to include your breed some time ago. They exist so that every modded Golf/Bora/Jetta in the land could look exactly the same
