Talking 1st Place

I recieved my second 1st place trophy today at a local car show.

It was a last minute decision so I didn't really had a chance to prep my car. To make matters worse it wasn't a People's Choice Award, this was the first time I my car was actually judged by five judges. I freaked out a little when I found out about this
Wouldn't you know it the only time that I didn't prep my car it was being judged

Oh well I guess I had nothing to worry about.

Last weekend I applied a coat of 1Z followed by a coat of NXT. Today I had one hour to wash and dry her and get to the show. At the show I didn't get a chance to QD her. I basically just detailed the engine, interior and yes the nose mask with NXT Tech Spray. Here are some pics.

Thanks. I guess that's because I basically keep her in this condition 99% of the time. I would have really wanted to apply another coat of NXT to give the paint more luster.

People asked me if I actually drove her. They were really surprised when I told them that it was my daily driver. I guess it pays to be an Autopian.

Man that looks good! My car looks the same if not better I gotta get in on some of these contests. Although, you wouldnt want to look under the hood. =(
I get so scared when even looking under there that anything will get damaged from a product.
