A customer pointed out a tiny run in my clear coat that I almost missed
He brought his truck back and said, 'Look right there in the sun, it's like a little worm.' I started using a bright LED work light at a low angle on every panel before I call a job done. Do you guys have a specific light you like for your final check?

Grab a cheap LED light bar from the hardware store, the kind you can plug in. Honestly, I angle it almost flat against the paint and slowly walk it down the whole panel. Tbh, it shows every single flaw you'd miss under normal shop lights. That low raking light trick is the only way I can sleep at night after sending a car out.

Skip the plug-in light bar and get a cordless inspection light. The cord always gets in the way when you're trying to move it around the car.

So @angela587, do you find the battery life on those cordless ones lasts long enough for a full detail check?
