Which products are winning shows?

[rd_volvo]

We all like to try and discuss products here at Autopia but
does anyone know which brands and products seem to bubble
up to the top on winning cars at the big events? Curious!

I just read that at the Pebble Beach 50th Anniversary event
21 of the top 25 cars used Meguiar's products.

thx

I never hear much about products winning shows. Remember, that it's the process that matters most.

I think this topic will be much like everything else on this forum. All the different shows and judges will be different. Lots of personal preferences out there.

Amen, brother! I've never had a judge ask me what I used on the car. They just ask me how I did what I did.

~ One man’s opinion / observations ~

I’ve read similar claims by Groit’s, Pinnacle, Autoglym, Zymol etc (Marketing Hype)

And I agree with Jngrdman, I’ve only been asked about method never product

~Hope this helps~

That isn't even hard to claim. All you have to use is one Meguiar's product to make that claim. DACP is about the only Meguiar's product I use on my car. That doesn't mean that the whole credit of what the car looks like goes to them. Many companys could make the claim that the top cars used their products. Tell me how many of them used nothing but Meguiar's products. Probably not too many people are purists when it comes to their products.

Guy I work with who shows his custom Camaro can make that claim....but Meguiar's sponsors him.

I believe it, I also believe that “fans” can be bought with “little or no $$$”.

I agree 100%. The process not the products you use to ready your car for a show will bring home that trophy.

The first few years I competively showed my WS6 (before I discovered Autopia) I consistantly won and I had nothing more than Meg's Deep Cystal polish and Gold Class wax on the car. The reason I beat cars that had Zaino, Race Glaze...etc. on them was because my entire car was detailed to the 9's. The motor, interior and even the under carriage was immaculate. There is so much more to preping a car for a show than working on the paint.

I do three SHOW cars. A '66 Chevelle, '67 & '69 Camaro. I do the paint. I use Klasse AIO, and Sealent Glazze. I use p21s also on them. All these guys either used Mothers(1) or Meguire's (2) before I showed them what I can do with Klasse. I put 30 coats of Sealent Glaze on in a year on the black '67 camaro.

Gordon McCall preps cars for shows and is quite well known. He has a line of detailing products. They are pretty good.
