    I must say that this forum is a great addition to Autopia!

    I don`t have a show car and I doubt I`ll ever will but I`ll be browsing this forum looking for tips on how to make my daily drivers stand out. I`m sure everybody will learn something here!

    Thanks F1!



    We really appreciate the feedback. I think deep inside we are all a bunch of show-off`s! So why not get some tips from folks who get judged on it!

    OK, so I am lucky enough to live in Scottsdale, AZ, where the Barrett Jackson auction is currently running (see Speed Network for day by day). I went with my father on Family day, and took a bunch of pictures. 274 To be exact. If anyone is interested, here is the link to the OPhoto gallery. You do NOT have to join OPhoto to view these pics. Some of these cars were out of this world!



    In case you notice the finish on the candy apple red 70`s Corvette, it has 24! coats of clear on it (per the owner). Also the gold corvette Stingray "Field of Dreams" will be auctioned on Saturday 1-21 in the evening, and should fetch just under one million dollars.



    Mods, if there is a better place for this thread, please move as appropriate.

    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.

    [quote name=`Brad B.`]There is nothing I love more than showing off my cars! Hey, this detailing thing is all about ego, isn`t it?



    Wait....I always thought it was a way of channeling neuroses into a way of making a living that is therapudic. For me anyway.

    Brad B, can we hear about some of the `Tips` and `techniques` that have been used with success by concours competitors over the years,eg any special concoctions/mixtures that have been used?

    I suggest you start a new thread posing that very question. I bet you get lots of suggestions!
