Getting Started

Preparing your car for a local car show can be an exciting but detailed process. It involves more than just a quick wash and wax. Attention to detail is key. Let's walk through the steps to get your car show-ready.

Clean Inside and Out

The first step is a thorough cleaning. Start with the exterior. Wash and dry your car carefully. Make sure to clean the wheels and undercarriage. Use a clay bar to remove any contaminants from the paint. Follow with a polish to remove any minor scratches or blemishes and to  enhance the gloss. Apply your favourite Premium Wax and buff to produce an incredible shine that will make your vehicle "POP"!

Detail the Engine Bay

Open the hood and clean the engine bay. Use a degreaser to remove any oil or grime. Wipe down all surfaces. A clean engine bay shows that you take pride in every part of your car.
