Re: Show Prep [Chrysler300] What Do YOU Do?

["Gary Eidson" <paradise42@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Scrub & Bubbles (aerosol) is recommended by Coker and Diamond Back tire co. 
Spray on, use scrub pad and wipe with water and towel. Bleach will crack 
whitewalls according to tire folks. Have found it to be excellent on 
whitewalls and lettered tires. Scrub pad don't rust like brillo and are not 
messy and can be cleaned.

Looks like there are a lot of great ideas for prepping the car for a show. 
Here's what I do. If it needs it, I wash the car before leaving home. The 
only thing I use on my tires is Bleech-White and a stiff nylon brush.  When 
I arrive at the show, I dust off the car with a "California Duster"  I have 
4 of these and the older they are, the better they work.  I think they work 
on the same principle as the Kozak cloth, only in duster form.  After the 
car is dusted, I use distilled water in an spray bottle, spray a small 
section, and dry with an old clean soft terry towel.  I only spray clean the 
spots that need it, like the front bumper, grill, windshield, and anywhere 
else that needs it.  After using the towel, I sometimes have to use the 
duster again to remove the lint.  The towel gets washed in the regular 
laundry after each show.
Some other notes: Don't use a brand new California Duster on a hot black 
surface, it leaves wax streaks on the paint that must be buffed off.  After 
a few uses, though, this no longer happens.  I use distilled water because 
even in the direct sun, it doesn't leave water streaks.  I wax my car about 
three or four times a year and I think that's why it cleans so easily (for a 
black car).  I use a smaller version of the California Duster in the engine 
bay, being careful not to disturb any wire connections.  I don't spend a lot 
of time detailing at a local show, I'd rather hob-nob with the car guys (and 
gals), and field questions and comments about the car.
It seems that whenever I'm parked next to a guy who uses all that 
"ArmourAll" type stuff, the overspray blows over onto my black paint and 
makes speckles on the surface.  I guess that's why I only use the water 
method.  That way, nobody gets P.O. with me.
And Mike, don't forget your lawn chair, umbrella, and sunscreen.
See you all in Carlisle.

I'm about to enter the first car show I've ever entered. I will drive
the "F" about 35-40 miles to the show.

What do ya'll use to clean up the front from bugs, etc. when you get
to a show if you can't wash it.

Same question for dust, etc.

Your comments and help on this will be greatly appreciated!
