Just registered My truck in its first carshow coming next sunday the 23rd. Just wondering if anyone had any detailing tips or tricks for me so the ruck still looks perfect when i get there. Just worried about getting bugs or spin off from the wheels on her. Do people usally wait till they get there to dress the wheels? I do have detail mist and a bunch of microfiber cloths just lookin for more suggestions. Thanks guys!

 

Did you get that supercharger in? If so how is it working out for you night and day power diff?

 

Awesome! Goodluck Rich!

 

I always wait till i get parked at teh show to do my tires, hit up a good spray booth close by before you pull in also.

 

People usually show up early to QD, glass cleaner and tire dressings

 

Not yet just media blased all of the brackets and pully's and there being sent out for powder coat on monday. I also bought new oil feed hoses that are braided and a 90 mm lightning MAF looking for 42 lb injectors too to get rid of the Fuel feed system that came with the kit. So looking like its going to be about another month I would like to still build a air to air inter cooler and install efans while im at it. But it will be soon want to do it right the first time. I just put new seals in the blower last night.

 

Thanks for the tips guys!

 

Thanks man! Very highly doubt i place but i'm just happy its finally gotten to a stage to start showing it! Ill make sure i get a bunch of pics

 

Alright I look foward to seeing them. I wish my truck was show quality Haha it'd be real cool to have a nice 10th gen to show off haha

 

Trust me when i got mine at first it was no where near show quality...LOL im might still not be to others! HAHAHAHAHA Took some time and alot of work but im really proud of how far she has come and just cant wait to show off all of the countless hours of work. You have the perfect platform for it!

 

Hahahaha thanks man!!! The old girl might get there once she's retired from daily driving. So well see what happen haha

 

Great! Like others said do your QD and shine stuff when you get there. Hyperdressing won't sling from the tires but if your going to go heavy on tire dressing wait until you're there. I'm sure you have plenty of wax on it already so all you'll have to do it QD it.

Just a suggestion, but since you spent so much time cleaning and painting the chassis and underside bring a mirror or two with you to show the underneath. Your truck is easily a trophy truck.

Look forward to the pics...good luck!

 

I second that motion Good Luck Rich!! I too want to see pics (of the trophy )

 

I like to do my wheels before the show. I think having tire dressing on the ground where you're parked detracts from the appearance. Stop at in a parking lot, dress them up and drive slowly to the show. When you park wipe it down and then enjoy the show. Good luck.

 

Good luck with the show, your truck should do well. that thing looks great
