I agree. Alghough if you want to take some sweet 50/50 shots for show and tell, you might want to consider a Halogen work light. You know those dual headlamps with a stand. I use a Streamlight LED that I got while I was in the academy, over $100 & rechargeahle.

The absolute be-all end-all is Mother Nature. If you can get the car in the path of direct sunlight, you've got the perfect medium. And...you'll have the car owner convinced, because s/he will see what you see under a condition sure to be repeated time and time again.

Thats exactly what I use, not exactly the best to show off 50/50 shots but it works for me when checking my work. Small, lightweight and ridiculously powerful.

Especially on silver cars. Even using the Brinkmann, there are some swirls I can only get to show up in sunlight.
