    Glad to see AG carry a great alternative to the way-overpriced sun gun.

    You could buy 10 to 15 Brinkmanns for 1 Sun gun, and it'll work just as good!

    Re: Brinkmann Swirl Finder Light

    I am curious as to what advantages this would have over say a 500w single hand held shop light?

    Just when you thought your car was clean, you see all the swirls with the light and then you cry lol. I'll buy one to show customers the swirls on their cars that they should pay me to remove lol.

    As Mike Philips said in class this weekend, he sees lots of detailers pull it out to sell the detail .... not as many pull them out after the detail.

    Seriously, it really is a nice, inexpensive light that does a great job. It works outside on an overcast day and great inside when you need to see things. Even on my Silver and White vehicles it will show the swirls and scratches.

    Looks like a great alternative to the Sun gun. Will definitely add to my car on next purchase.

    For most people, the 3M Sun Gun does too good of a job.


    Besides that, for the money, the Swirl Finder Light is more than enough to give you the feedback you need or showcase the swirls so you can capture them with a camera.

    Acronym time...

    Should it be,

    BSFL - Brinkman Swirl Finder Light
    or
    TCM - The Cruel Master

    or just,

    CM - Cruel Master

    In case you don't know, the reason some people will refer to it as The Cruel Master is because even if you're really good at polishing paint and creating a 100% swirl-free finish in any kind of lighting, the Brinkman Swirl Finder Light is still very hard to please, (like a Cruel Master), 100% of the time as it's so very good at revealing any and all remaining swirls and scratches left in the paint, thus the term... Cruel Master.




    Maybe someone should start a poll?
