Well since the nights are drawing in, i thought it would be a good idea to invest in one of these little gadgets to assist in those after dark car related maintenance activities.



Only problem now is that i can now see all the minor swirls and imperfections, thus creating more ruddy work.

Dumb idea !!!!

Reasonable price at Wickes though .

Black car under the spotlight = Recipe for disaster.

What sort of money are Wickes asking for those they look very professional?

Screwfix do these low level ones for just over a fiver.
