    Finding the hardest to find swirls

    Arrrgggghhhhhh!

    I bought the Brinkman light; meh. I bought a 500W from The Depot. Better. Both - and I think I've found all my swirls. Then, I take the car into the bright, but low, evening sun. AHHHHHHH!!!! More swirls!!

    Is that the ONLY way to see the hard to catch swirls?

    You best bet is the dust and dawn sun shots BUT you will find a LOT of those using the DIY light that Zach McGovern created. The key is that you need it close to do the main correction but need to have it far (so it does not blind you) to see the more minor flaws.
