Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
The Qashqai is back inside, so I gave it a Concours Nova Boost wipe down. When it was parked outside yesterday, I could see how dirty the steering wheel was, so I broke out the Duragloss Leather cleaning kit, Leather Cleaner 441, Leather Conditioner 221, with a soft bristle brush. Came up great, looks and feels better than new.

Got me a FLEX light.
Now I can 100% confirm that all that polishing still left some swirls in the finish. Progress, not perfection.

Look into the diffuser cap from scangrip. Excellent for coatings

Just a thought. Do you think buying the diffuser and holding in top of my led shop light would work? Don’t coat enough to buy a new $150 light....

These types of lights are great (I went with the lower priced Astro Pneumatic), but are a double edged sword - you can now SEE all of the defects, but you can see ALL of the defects!

^
100% agree.
And when I see fewer defects under the surgery lighting, I am confident it will look stellar when finished. However, the truth-teller has the final say. That’d be the big lightbulb in the sky. 
If I’m not working outside, pulling the vehicle out and doing a walk-around is a must. The car I did the other day looked fine in the overcast morning light, before I even washed it. It got sunny mid-morning and my eyes shed some tears.

Will be one of the best $150 you spend.
The light source may scatter too much light instead of focused through the diffuser
