Hi all

I did my first four concours details a few weeks back for the 3rd annual Americana Concours d'elegance in Manhasset, LI, NY. I had the pleasure of prepping a 1938 Aston Speed Coupe (Ulster) and a 1965 DB5 coupe for judging and a '65 DB5 convertible and a Ferrari Superamerica that were not judged. I took off wheels, detailed the undercarriage, engine compartment, wheel wells, exhaust, etc. I did learn that setting aside two days per car is not nearly enough time to do everything that could be touched. I was able to secure a judging sheet, but it was so vague that it was of no use. What, in terms of what a detailer can do, to help a car win.
