How do you guys clean up yor cars for a show?
My xB will be hitting the show circuit come this end of summer and fall and i would like to know how you guys prep your cars after a drive that is not close to home, so you got some dirt and bugs on it.
What should i do before i leave home and when i reach my destination?
Any comments will help

qtips for all the jambs, emblems, and hard to reach places. if you slam your car on the ground, then you don't have to clean the fenderwells, cause they can't see.lol

Microfiber is your friend. Add to that a lot of elbow grease.
