yeah juggs or someone will get it for you. I show a lot I got in a magazine too at one lol. Best thing is just go and have fun and dont focus on winning anything. Also pick up a bottle or 2 of McGuires quick detailer stuff is awesome if you dont have time to wax the car and you want the paint to pop

sweet lol,

yeah car shows are great and if you can get on with a car club it is a lot more fun

Indeed car shows are lots of fun!

Any type of quick detailer is great to have. I keep a gym bag full of supplies just for car shows. Make sure you don't go doing burnouts through the parking lot. A quick rev or two is generally ok as just about ever guy (yes even the 60 year old guys driving around flathead ford will do it) but nothing obnoxious.

Try to keep everything clean, and if you enter make sure your in the right/best class for you.

+ 1 no burnouts in the lots, nobody likes stones and dust being thrown at their cars

at the shows I go to, that will get you a good ass-kicking

I think Mothers Instant Detailer is a much better product, as well as all of their other cleaner/waxes/polishes/etc.

I used the turtle wax to spray on wax on my car and on the inside I used wet-and-black or whatever its called. works like a charm for me.
