Question, where did you get that light? I've been looking for one just like that but I haven't had much luck

Thank you for sharing with us

Very nice work !!! I detail a few off shore performance boats, and to be honest I'd rather detail 1 or 2 high end cars in a day. So much buffing, and I really hate detailing the bilge !!!

Once again NICE WORK !!!

Curious, why the sanding?

Yep, it's huge! Used about 15 hours on the whole job.

The owner of the boat got me the light, he bought it in a norwegian shop called "Byggtorget".
Why do you want only 1 halogen?

Saw the previous boat job you did, the one with the paintbrush paint..
Awesome work!

I'd also much rather detail cars than boats, it's quite boring!

Sanded the worst areas because of the deep scratches..
It required 4 passes with wool + fast cut plus, and 2 passes with powergloss compound + wool to remove the sanding marks.
Cant imagine how many passes it would take to remove the scratches without sanding them!
Gelcoat is hard stuff!

Norway you say..mmm... well I have lots of 1000W dual head lights and they can be quite bulky at times, they work great and I prefer using the dual head lights to be honest but when space is tight the single head light is much better to use.

Maybe I can get pirex to hook me up with one of these bad boys..man it's wicked having friends all over the world

Hehe, pirex is the man! I'll sure he will fix it for you

Saw your video btw. Loved it, great work!
Haven't seen that "shaking" method you did remove scratches more efficient..
Will try it on the next detail
