I've entered my Camaro in the modified class at the Camaro Superfest in Ypsilanti, Michigan this weekend. This is my first ever car show that I've entered a car in.
Yesterday I washed my car, SVRTed the trim and tires, and edetailed the engine bay. I covered it to keep the paint clean last night. I checked to see if I needed to clay the car with the baggie test and it seemed ok (I had clayed and waxed it before I put it away and covered it for winter last fall).
Today, I broke out my PC for the first time. I did my best to follow the Junkman's directions. I used SHR and the FMP. Wow! That made a big difference in what my paint looks like!
So, I'll clean up the interior and polish the wheels tomorrow. I also plan to use BG and Americana tomorrow. My question is, should I use the MSS (as directed) and then wait a day before putting on the BG and Americana? I have seen posts about the MSS needing to be wiped down a second time 24 hours after applying.
Also, I have to drive about 3 hours to get to the car show. My plan is to take some WW and microfiber towels as well as DS and wipe off the bugs. I don't think it will be trivial to wash it again with soap and water (unless it gets really bad). What do you guys do when you get to the car show?
I'm kind of nervous! I really have no idea what to expect. I've never shown a car before. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
