For picky detailers everywhere, Meguiar’s would like to shed some light on the situation
Did you hear the one about the prep shop that won the PCA concours for a couple years in a row? They did it by buying brand-new cars… but not just any brand-new cars. They had to go through a dealership’s whole inventory and find the one with the least damage, then rectify it even further, just to be in the hunt for an overall trophy. At its highest level, automotive detailing is a cornucopia of genuinely obsessive behavior.
Of course, you can’t fix what you can’t see, and that’s why Meguiar’s, a company (and friend of Hagerty) normally known for cleaning and polishing products, is now in the business of selling an extremely bright light.
The company says, “The Sunlight 3+ builds upon the already proven and respected top-tier handheld light from Scangrip, adding to it an even more robust aluminum-alloy frame, combined with additional controls giving users even more ability to quickly and effectively identify even the most difficult to spot defects. It includes separate linear controls for both lumens and color temperature, 50 to 500 Lumens output range, 2,500 to 6,500 Kelvin range, and also features an exclusive settings memory function for instant on/off without searching for settings. All of this, and you get a strong 2-year warranty.”
Don’t look for this product to become terribly popular with Lemons racers or the “patina” crowd — but for those who want a Paul-Reed-Smith-style glass finish everywhere the sun shines, this is likely to be a genuinely useful tool. Retail price is $169.99.
