It all comes down to personal preference. The R is smaller and less powerful than the 3, so I would lean R for a smaller more mobile unit. The 3 is better if you are using in combination with a tripod or as a stand alone detailing light.
Thanks for the content. Should you make the choice again. Would you think that 1x Multimatch 8 connect would be a better set up than 2x Multimatch 3 connect or even 1x Multimatch 3 connect for the car detailing. It looks that the both lights have power, so it may be down to the modularity each can offer.
It all depends on what other lights you have on hand. If you are leaning on your Scangrip more, the 8 would be my choice. Unless you want to have two different sources of light, then the 2x 3s or 2x 8s are great. The Connect series is great as well if you have the batteries on hand, it helps get you into these lights at a lower price point.
Man when you turn on that Multimatch, you really see how hammered that paint really is, very erm eyeopening ;) I was looking for the Mini Match, as a weekendwarior I can not really justify paying 500 buck for a light. How does the Mini Match perform any idea?
The minimatch is a great quick option. What we find is having multiple light sources helps (overhead lights, the sun, handheld, etc.). This way you can pinpoint as many imperfections as needed. Start with something like the Sunmatch though, it is more powerful than the mini and you can always add more lights down the line if you feel it is needed.
Thank you for the video, a few question for daily use. How long the batteries last on full? Can it be used while plugged in? Does it still charge when in full power and plugged in? How long to recharge battery to full? I'm debating between the Scangrip Multimatch R or the Flex DWL 2500. I like how the Flex uses removable batteries.
You can check out more information on the Sunmatch 4 directly on our site here (www.detailedimage.com/Scangrip-M81/Sunmatch-4-P2744/). For the specs, Scangrip lists up to 10 hours of operating time at min lumens, 4 hours to charge when set in the charging dock. You will not want to use this when plugged in with the short charging cord and dock provided. When fully charged you will want to remove it from the dock.
You can get 5 - 15 hours of operation depending on the setting used. You can certainly use 1x light when correcting, but we generally recommend pairing the Multimatch with overhead lights and sun (if possible) to help show various imperfections during the correcting process.
Good video! Only constructive criticism would be to stop saying "UHHHM" so much! That's all I could focus on, I could predict when you were going to say it every time lol. Cheers!
My red Model 3 looked incredible after a full paint correction.
Its a tricky paint- but man it looks good once its polished. What did you seal it with?
Detailed Image It was fully covered with paint protection film and then it was ceramic coated. All done by OCDetailing in Fremont, California
Great lighting products, James!
Hello,
Between the multimatch R and multimatch 3, which one would you choose and why ?
It all comes down to personal preference. The R is smaller and less powerful than the 3, so I would lean R for a smaller more mobile unit. The 3 is better if you are using in combination with a tripod or as a stand alone detailing light.

So is one multimatch 3 big enough for Correcting? And how long does the battery last on 50 percent and higher?
You can get 5 - 15 hours of operation depending on the setting used. You can certainly use 1x light when correcting, but we generally recommend pairing the Multimatch with overhead lights and sun (if possible) to help show various imperfections during the correcting process.
@DetailedImage yea I'm in a garage that's big I got the overhead ones it's good enough just the sides are really dark
Does multimatch 3 comes with battery & charger?
Both the Multimatch R and 3 come with a charger and installed rechargeable battery.
What’s the best color temp to look for high spots in coating?
Sometimes less direct light is best. A defused light like Gyeon Prism is sometimes the way to go as it doesn’t wash out the panel and hide high spots.
Scangrip makes the line light handlamp. they are great for ceramic coating inspection. there are other similar styles on amazon

Bro what tripod is that ? Thank you
This is the Scangrip Tripod (www.detailedimage.com/Scangrip-M81/)
@@DetailedImage can scangrip lights be used with any standard tripod?
You keep on talking and talking dude. Show it!
What he’s saying is helpful. Chill out dude.
