Cleaning your car at a show

[Scottcooper85]

Just after some advice really on what people's routines are for preparing their cars once their at shows?

also the best products for the job? Detailing sprays etc.

pre show I'm using poorboys diamond white, autoglym sealant and dodo juice hard wax.

cheers

Me and Liam didn't do to bad a job with demon shine even after playing in the wet muddy fields at pvs
with handbrake etc ;) lol

lol lol

did you just go straight over it with retailer and a micro fibre then?

Yep think it helped that we had them jet washed 1st to so we could go up strip then demon shine just made is shine and got rid of the water marks

So wash, leather off and a good detailer should make it nice and shiny again.

I make sure the car has atleast two coats of wax on before i leave home.

I then wash the lower half when there to remove dirt and bugs. Using a good QD to rinse off.

I use Megs last touch QD as found it to be the nicest.

Never gel trims till youy on site. As dust dnd dirt will stick to the gel and washing/cleaning is messey when you have gelled.

Never put tyre gel/shine on till on site.
Makes cleaning wheels a worse job and will flick down the sides of the car when driving.

There are quite good 'quick waxes' out there too. Then can really help the car shine again and are easy to do at a show.

Fcuk cleaning it

If I ever bother going to any shows I'll just drive it and park

ANY show is at least a couple hours drive, after that in a nova start cleaning? No fcukin chance

WTF ever!
Stop being a pussy get it done and show the bloody thing.

Takes me just over two and a bit hours to get to PVS or Billing So same as it would you, first thing i do is clean the car. As you would. You wouldn't leave it dirty at all, you'd want it gleaming.

I use Megs QD on the Celica if I want to clean it up once at a show. Works well.

The Nova is a workhorse so doesn't get cleaned. lol
