I get put in it now and then lol. the rangie tows the horse box and 40 bales of hay better and easier for her and her father to use for it. Plus i make sure im on a workshop day so next to sod all driving that day haha. I had normal bulbs. H4 hids are rubbish bright but rubbish. Some bulbs similar to Nightbreakers. And now h4 Nightbreakers they dont look any diffrent against a wall but out the dark roads they're brilliant. Going to put Nightbreakers on the inside beam bulbs too

if any of you fancy giving it a go some simple steps to follow

1. soak the car with the hose
2. wash it using a sponge and washing up liquid yes washing up liquid as this will break down and remove any polish/wax you have on the car
3.wash it again with a microfibre wash mit and a decent car shampo, use the 2 bucket method 1 bucket with the hot saopy car shampo in and another with clean cold water rinse off the mit every time before dipping into the hot soapy water.
4. rinse rinse rinse with the hose, now the cars clean
5. clay bar the whole car it makes a huge difference
6. wash again and rinse
7. dry the car
8. now your ready to start using the polisher and remove years of swirl marks

thats my method and it works well il get a 50/50 tomorrow on the rear quarter panel

That's exactly the same equipment I used to use - all of my stuff was 'borrowed' though so haven't seen it for a good few years.
