i dunno how TITE ur car is... but the small things can help u win, if your car is that sick. 1) remember, all them small things help u win at that highest level, like if some of your engine bay is all different colors, its time to get some color scheme going and change it ASAP. 2) its ALL ABOUT THE WHEELS, that make a car, clean them babies like none other, if u got nice really nice wheels, such as ADVAN or racing hart(can we bling bling $$$) they recommend non-acid based cleaners, i clean my with the regular water and car wash liquid i use, and honestly, it works amazing. if u got a scratch, even one little one, go sand it down, and get the motorcycle polish(i forgot which one, but its a special one that works amazing, made a HUGE curb scratch look like nothing), and get it rid of that crap. tire pressure check, all even, O and if u got lip on your wheels, make sure they stick out, havent u ever seen them new BMW 540's with sport package, M5 or M3s clean, lets all say "DAMN" 3) chipped hood or bumper or sideskirts? get it repainted, dont even let urself get one chip, unless u drive up there and u go behind some big rigger and ur F@uKED than 4) make sure paint looks fabulous on the car, detail it 5) of course, clean interior, vacuum, soap up inside seats, unless urs are custom and ur not suppose to LOL... upholstery keep dust-free and shinY... honestly, it might be nice, to do these things maybe more than once, sometimes things are better if they are maintained at a certain level, not just done once before the show 5) dont forget, let ur ride be lowered a little more during the show, not too slammed tho, slammed looks good on the street, but i never liked that look at car shows, just no wheels gap is good enuff, maybe a little tucked under the wheel well
6) no water spots on windows... 7) exhaust is SEXY CLEAN, polish it like to new 8) BTW, when u clean ur wheels, take it off, and clean it, seems crazy, but honestly, u wont miss a spot in the little hard to get places 9) clean that part of ur body thats inside ur car, u kno what i mean? where people sometimes like to step on it by accident, right where ur door meets the body at the bottom, damn its dirty there normally 10) any of ur friends got NOS? LOL, check to see what ur friends have V-AFC? things that would go with the style and lines of ur cars(exterior and interior).. dont just throw anything in there, like if u got a dark blue car, have u seen them ZEX kits? would look nice in it.. like dat... check around to see what ur friends would let u borrow if it would look HELL@ good in ur car and not theres :naughty:
