Jake, Good luck at the show in Dallas. I also show my Comp T/A, so I can give you some pointers...Plenty of terry cloth towels, Zaino gloss enhancer- detailing spray), tire gel ( try using an old sock to apply- easier to wipe excess off as well, window cleaner, portable car vac if available, leather cleaner/polish, a paint brish for dusting your vents and dash, any literature on the car - possibly a sign. The wheel wells- try to clean them as good as possible. I actually spray them with cheap Walmart gloss black paint to give it a new appearance. You can clean off the excess using Meguire's fine cut cleaner. Its a very mild cleaner that is clearcoat safe. Just apply with a terry cloth towel and apply very light pressure. Its good for taking off bugs as well. You can also use a clay bar, but it will take longer.
