Will you have to modify the lighting in the garage area? Seems like you would need very good lighting so you can see paint in its true state, and be able to ID imperfections, etc.

Organization is always key, helps with efficiency. Everyone does that differently, just depends on you work. Lookin good!

Hes probably got a brinkman!

I'm very jealous of all this. I'm even jealous of all the great products I see.

I wouldn't say modify because I barely have any lighting atm haha. "Maybe" this weekend I will do some planning to mount some shop lights 4ft each.

Yup you guessed right. I currently have 4 different tools for lighting. A white led headstrap, a halogen, and led brinkman, and a 500w dual halogen lamps.

That's awesome. I need some nice halogen lamps.

Just ordered some M101 to try cutting with vs M105. At some point this summer I plan to do a 3 stage detail on my flamenco black pearl 98. The swirls on it blind you in the sun. :doh:

Re: My garage build for auto detailing (UPDATED 7/4 PG 3)

Have an update again after missing one week. Day off today so I did some work.



Added some cardboard to level out the platform because of the slots in between the metal bars caused some products to tip over. Not rebuying this 5 tier shelf next time.
Also added some products with sprayer heads as well.









4th row also consisted of polishing products as well. Medium polish to fine polishes, and anything else related to paintwork category.









Close ups of products
















Last week vs this week progress


















Stay tuned for next update.

Just a quick update for you guys. I bought two energy saving fixtures and couple 6500k energy saving bulbs. After purchasing, went home and put them together. Afterwards fired em up to see the color.



Comparison of dimensions between new(L) and old(R)










Two new ones all set up ready to be mounted














Stay tuned for next update.
