Following Grizzly's suggestions/advice, we:
  • Thoroughly washed the car the night before;
  • Made a poster explaining the uniqueness and history of 'Car Zero"
  • Got there early and got a great slot on the end of a row;
  • Removed all non-essential items from the car;
  • Showed the car with the top down and the windows rolled down.

Once our Box was parked in it's slot, we then:
  • Used "Windex Wipes" to clean all the glass and mirrors;
  • Used a lint brush to de-lint all the carpeting and leather;
  • Wiped down the entire car with a microfiber towel;
  • Ran a baby-wipe over the tires (don't laugh...it works!);
  • Brought folding chairs, drinks, and sunscreen.

Of all of these, the lint brush turned out to be the most useful: picking up all the bits of fluff really dressed up the passenger compartment and enhanced the appearance of the car. We actually ended up de-linting the car two or three times to get rid of stuff blowing in the wind.

Congrats! I love going to and entering car shows. I used to do auto-x but now it's only car shows for me. Less expinsive on my wallet and allot easier to win stuff. Keep it up!
