But this time it was a first place trophy! I bought the car to drive it, but car shows are pretty fun too, and even more fun when you win! (This time it won first in the "modern muscle" class)
my 5 year old son / car detailing assistant was very excited!

No better way to spend time with the kids, Congratulations and Enjoy!
…..I entered a senior track meet (I'm 63, retired teacher/coach) in my 50's and took 2nd place in the shotput...….there were three entrants.....congrats (yes I'm proud of my 2nd place)…..
I use a number of different methods, I usually just hit it with the foam gun, pressure washer at 40 degrees to rinse, and dry it with a cordless leaf blower. Takes about 15 min. That's all I did for my first car show too (where I got third place).
This time I did hand wash with rain-x car wash, then went over everything with various Maguire's and Stoner products, and after getting to the show I used "tub of towels" to get the brake dust off the wheels, hit it all again with a quick detailer, and tire shine to get it as shiny as possible. I got a polishing cone for the exhaust tips, used q-tips for the space around the lug nuts, and used painters tape on the interior to pick up anything that the vacuum didn't grab. I went all out, but honestly it was really more of a father and son thing than anything else...
I also use tons of microfiber towels when using the quick detailers and quick wax, and shop type paper towels.
Oh, I also get the inside of the wheels with one of those soft wheel brush things, the front wheels are a pain (literally) since there isn't a lot of room to work with, but it makes a huge difference when the outside and inside of the wheels are clean.
for the engine, I just needed to wipe it down - I don't drive it in the rain too often, so as long as it's wiped down every 500 miles or so, it's just a matter of maintaining vs. cleaning.
The previous owner exclusively used Ammo products, but I'm not sure I could justify the price since again, I really bought the car to drive, not to necessarily beat people in a car cleaning contest (even though as mentioned it's still fun to win those contests too!)
bullshit.....unless its a "custom" only show.... Most of these are fund raisers for good causes anything with wheels and entry fee.......Lighten up Francis.

This one was run by our local, volunteer only firehouse, so I was also sure to enter the raffles, buy some stuff from the local vendors who were there, etc...
Congratulations always nice to drive away with a trophy.Your assistant is doing a good job obviously.
Second car show, second trophy!
