Detailing for a car club

Anyone prep car club cars for shows?

How far in advance do you work?

How many do you do?

I have detailed cars for the Corvette club of Western New York and the Oldsmobile club of Western New for years. Many of our customers have won best of show over the years.

You need to find out what the club is doing. I have some club members come to me for detailing, I always ask what is it for.
It they are going to compete in a show, then i must take a different detailing method then if they just want it polished. I also need to know this as I need to set the time frame with other customers.

I attended a meet for a local Nissan club in the summer of '02 and a lot of the people there approached me about what I used on the Maxima and a few even wanted me to give them my cell number for detailing.

It matters,


If it is my car I can keep it clean and I can get ready for a show in 2-3 hours..

If someone pulls in off the street and wants their Daily driver show ready that could take me a day or 2..

But then I want to win shows so some people will not take as long
