Believe it or not, I neglected to take pictures of my own damn car but, took some of the cars that caught my eye at the show.
I was in the Corvette class (of course) which was broken down by generations. The C3 class was then broken into two smaller groups; chrome bumper cars and rubber bumper cars.
There were only three chrome bumper cars so I received the third place ribbon. Considering there were only three cars in my group it may not seem like much of an accomplishment but, I am still very happy with the award.
The Poorboy's stuff did a nice job of making my paint pop; I still need much more practice before I will be 100% happy with the finish.

As you do it more, it gets easier, and you get quicker and know what the stuff will do, and how.

Find out if you can get a copy of the score sheet. My club makes them available. This way you can concentrate on the areas you were weak in and work on those areas. You can only go up now. Congrats. Well done

I asked to get a copy but, was told that they do not offer them to participants. I would be interested in knowing where my car was lacking. I do realize that it lost 10 points right from the start due to the aftermarket rims and tires.

Only thing you need to know is there are plenty of detailers out there. You ARE competing against professionals. Take satisfaction knowing that you did it yourself. I got beat by a guy that could barely walk (me someday) and I know he didn't do the undercarriage crawling around on the ground himself. You are going to be competing against garage queens that only go from show to show. Plus judging is pretty subjective, take pride in your accomplishment! Congrats!
