Spend 3 hours cleaning your engine

Shambles · 10-11-2005, 04:15 PM

Sexual favors to the judges dont hurt.

make sure wax isnt in your crevices. A soft toothbrush gets it out easy. Dress your tires, chin spoiler, mirrors, grille delete bottom peice, and your wiper plastic guard. Also get an engine dresser to get the bay shiney after its cleaned. I think one is called "engine koat"

Paint your car black!

Seriously though, be sure to use a good three step process like maguires if you have the time, then top it is 2 - 3 coats of a high-quality carnuba. I always bring maguires final detailer wish me to shows too.

*Lances03SVT* · 10-11-2005, 06:36 PM

Well I've already waxed it 3 times since Saturday

Do you spray inside your fender wells once you get too the show's? With something like tireblack.

Id take a rag with some sort of spray and tire spray for the day of the show, that way lets same it gets dirty on the way to the show you can whip it off. if its in a parking lot make sure to not park head in, things like that gives you negative points to your car. And uh, get a hot model to stand next to your car, that always works, or stand next to your car in a speedo.

Any kind of gel tire dressing works for that.

MachGT · 10-12-2005, 08:16 AM

Clean underneath the back of the car, tire wet on the gas tank and clean the differential cover.

FritoBandito · 10-12-2005, 08:56 AM

Clean the hell out of your windows-dirty windows =

+ 1 on tire foaming fender wells.
Take wheels off and clean the inside of the rim, makes em look like they are brand new (if you have time)

Is that even possible? Im a detailer and I cant even spend that amount of time on something. After a while, waxing your car over and over does absolutely nothing.

lol

Badfish · 10-15-2005, 03:09 PM

wash, clay, wash, dry, polish, remove, wax, remove = 2 1/2 hours if you take your time.

I can have my car washed, dried, waxed, tires, rims cleaned and dressed, and on my way in 1 hour exactly. i also dress my chin spoiler and grille delete too.

back on topic.

car show resluts? pics?

Was'nt all waxing.Cleaned the engine bay,cleaned the leather,tire blacked the fender wells.Most of my time cleaning was the interior.Hate cleaning the inside so it took a little while,even shampooed the carpets and mats.Also took time out for lunch and dinner.

*Lances03SVT* · 10-15-2005, 07:53 PM

Some pics are in the pic section.If your car was'nt 30 years old you did'nt have a chance.But a 05 GT that was done up as a GT 500 got 5th place.Had a great time just hanging out with other Mustang guys and talking about car mod's and ricers
