wash it twice, 1st wash to get the dirt off, 2nd to make sure you didnt miss any spots.

use a cleaner
use a polish
use a wax

make sure to buff it, and buff it and re buff it to take any swurls out

then at the show, get a good rim polish, shine those bad boys up, wax the tires.

then get some quicker detailer, some clean polishing rags (the lint less type). just following the instructions and make sure you buff buff and buff it real good.

oh and dont forget glass cleaner

Also before the show, use Meguires Glaze or Mothers Glaze or 3 m glaze. Apply in a back and forth motion to the car and wipe off the paint. You may want to do the car in sections. Make sure to apply the glaze and wipe the glaze off in a back and forth motion. Never use circular motions when applying or removing, polish, glaze or wax. You will cause more swirl marks to appear onyour paint or make exisitngswirl marks worse than they are already.
