Let me ask a question of all of you. I have never shown a car before. What do you really have to do and what little things that you do really impresses the judges. I know that you don't want to give away all your secrets, but just a general over view. Thanks :smile:

 

[mb4875]

My 2 cents.
If you drive to the show and don't use a trailer you have a better chance to win the class.
a/c knobs straight up and down, e-handle down, trans in reverse. everything out of glove box and console. floor mats out. I jack up car to line up wheel center caps straight up. I have a display in trunk with all six revell models, copy of dvd and music sound track for effect.

That's not all my tips and tricks.

CLEAN < CLEAN < CLEAN >

Hood up, trunk up. Engine sparkly clean. I had someone tell me this but haven't done it at a show--to put down one of the back seats to show how that looks.....

TwoStangWmn,
What do you use to get your engine sparkling clean? Also what is best to use to get your car clean again once you arrive at the show?
Thanks for the tips!

At most of our shows,I just detail the car real well before I leave, get rid of any bugs I pick up along the way. Yes and try to rotate your tires so the red calipers,are visible. But what has gotten the attention the most,from judges,are those .38 Specials on my license plate screws! MCQUEEN and Twoponys,Know what I am speaking about! Of course that HURST shifter lever didn't hurt either.

We have one of those dusters you can pick up anywhere to continually dust her off before and during the show. I don't know what hubby uses to shine up the engine compartment. I saw a Cobra guy, though, using Windex on the black parts in there and it worked very nicely! Just be careful where you spray it I think.

Hubby uses Qtips in the engine compartment, too, along with a toothbrush. (Of course, he is also known to use a toothbrush on the underside of his motorcycle)! :roll:

We use Back To Black on the honeycomp grill and black parts. Get a non streak window cleaner from the auto parts store too.
