Do you know what judges look for at a car show? Different classifications have different criteria of course. But if you have an idea what judges are looking for, your chances are greatly improved.
First, make sure you have a clean car. This may seem obvious, but it is essential. There sure be no dirt or debris inside or out. Take a few minutes after you arrive to go through and touch up the car. Also, never enter a car with scratches. This is almost always going to cost with the judges.
Don’t forget the tires. How you maintain your tires is a good indicator of how you keep the rest of the vehicle. This means underneath as well.
You should also think about your paint. Judges often like something original and creative. If you have an artistic flair, try to choose a paint scheme that will be memorable and outstanding without being tawdry.
Overall the car should have the look and feel that is appropriate to the style of the car. After you enter a few shows, you’ll begin to get a good idea of what works and what doesn’t. Good luck and win some trophies.
