Re: [Chrysler300] What Do YOU Do?

[Rich Barber <barber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Michael:

I use Windex and low-lint yellow wiping towels from Wal-Mart.  Works 
good on bugs, mud and blobs on paint, glass and chrome.  I also carry a 
tube of touchup paint for any nicks.  Just a dry rag under the hood, 
dash pad and rear parcel tray.

I have seen many others with the dust brushes that consist of oiled or 
waxed yarn/string on an 18' long handle.  But I have not looked for them 
in stores.  These apparently work well on loose dust.

The black part of the tires can usually use some gunk applied to them 
for appearance.  Lots of choices here.

Perfection is not generally seen or sought at most local shows.  
Interacting with interested car nuts and talking about their car or 
yours is the fun part.  You will see the "look" from spectators that 
come up, start looking at the car and break out in grins as the memories 
come flooding back.  Lots of folks REMEMBER these cars and the good 
times they may have had during the period.  Then they ask you what you 
paid for the car and how much you have in it.  I usually just say more 
than a breadbox, less than a house, but that it is fun to have a car 
that is going up in value, rather than going down for a change.

You may be in the hot sun for a long time, so be prepared with suntan 
lotion and hat.  Portable shade tents come in very handy.

Have a great day there and enjoy the ride and the company.  Showing can 
be fun and habit-forming. 

Let us know how it goes.
