For those of you that wax in your garage in the winter months I have a few questions. First, in my small garage we have one lightbulb on a string which gives of a soft yellowish light. Not exactly great for spotting paint flaws. Does anybody have any recommendations on a small affordable flourescent light setup so I can see all the swirls/spots etc? It could be a portable or fixed setup.
Also my garage isn't heated and to wax or use Zaino you need ~50 degrees or better right? Any decent space heaters out there?
Thanks!

 

I know it sounds basic but try to find a friend or relitive with a good space to do your once every three months or so wax. Or wait till the first rays of spring. It'll keep with the 6 or so layers on it! (If your anything like me!)

 

Nobody Has space in their garage, and the car is my daily driver up here in the Boston area. With all the sand and salt this has to be done.

 

you can get those small construction lights at an auto store. Its those ones that have a small stand and has 2 big lights attatched on the top. Costs about $30 and is pretty bright. my friend has one and thats what we use at night time when we work on his car.

 

You can buy shop light fixtures at WalMart very cheap that do not have to be wired in any way, they already have a 110 plug in on them to run to any plug in. Uses the 4 foot 40 watt tube shop lights, installed with a couple of wood screws.

I have applied Zaino with air temps in my garage of about 30 to 35, it dried in about 30 to 45 min, of course I have Zainoed since 1998 so even without ZFX my Zaino coats dry in about 10 to 15 min under normal air temps. Its all in your technique of applying the coat THINLY and even more important to me EVENLY....

 

thanks guys!
