Now having bright lights is important but you also want to have some regular incandescent lights also. It is much easier to see swirls using a low light source when it is up high. Very bright lights will sometime wash out that ability, especially when they are close to your subject. By killing the bright lights and inspecting the car with incandescent lights, you will be surprised at how easy the swirls show.
My current plan is to put 4 2-bar fluorescent lights on the ceiling, and eventually put at least 2 more bars horizontally mounted on the walls in the garage. Preferably with a separate switch for both. I was thinking of putting the ceiling lights in the corners of he ceiling angled 45 degrees towards the center, but that might just be a little pointless complexity.
