lets see what you guys do, have any methods you like for anything to make your car look better, things you'll do before a show... anything. post it

Hidden Water- Use an air compress to blow it out, small areas you can even use the aerosol computer duster can things

Wheel wells- Armoral, Black Spray Paint, or undercoating

Trim- if its old tape of your car/windows sand down and re-paint the metal trim around your back window flat black and also the stip between your t-tops

weather stripping- armor all it, makes it last longer and look better

tail lights- dont forget to wax them too

Interior- since it is fairly easy, if your interior is really dirty, go as far as taking out your seats to vacuum, clean, or even dye your carpet clean.

Engine- use armorall on hoses, and anything else plastic or rubber under the hood.


these are all things I have done getting ready for a show in two weeks, how about you guys

I use 'Never-Dull' on the TPI. Try some mothers aluminum polish on your air conditioner condeser I think it is? Or is it the pump? Anyway, the part that is on the passenger side of the engine bay towards the back. Use the neverdull on the metal lines too. Can't think of anything that hasn't been said so far... just look for the little things and take your time.

Well to stick to the topic a few tips that you might allready know.


1.paint stripper on my rims to shine it up

2.head lights dont pop-up?
>Disassemble the gear box for the head light motor around the triangle gear put 3 peices of plastic strips. reassemble, head lights now move up and down with small bits of plastic

3.worn berring cant find which one?
> place a screw driver on anything that has a pully on it and listen to the end of the screw drive. If its worn you will hear it

4.locked keys in the car?
> Get a 4 1\2 foot rod thats about a quarter inch thick. Bend a slight angle. Put it in at the rear corner or the window and unlock the door.

5 Sitting at a stop light and one of those kazzo exhaust ricers pull up next to you?
>Wait till the light turns green, depress the accelerator and watch him disappear in the rear view mirror
