Cleaning Cars at Pugfest

Wash it at home and wrap it in clingfilm before you leave...when you get there just unwrap it.

Might look a bit strange bombing down the motorway at 7 in the morning Tom

Pfft, don't worry what other people are thinking, just imagine sitting at Pugfest with a smugface while everyone else is trying to wash their cars with the hot sun baking the watermarks on.
But on a serious note, I'd give it a proper clean and wax at home, then just quik detailer, window cleaner and tyre black when you get there.

Thanks Tom aha
Going to wash it at Pugfest anyway, or certainly the wheels at least, how do people who usually go wash their cars?

I wouldn't be worrying about buckets of water ETC once you're there.
Get it looking as best you can at home, then as Tom says just give it a once over with some QD and a microfibre when you're there.

Yeah as said. I usually just give it a wash polish etc at home then when im there dress tyres bumpers etc. And give a wipe over with some quick detailer

It's gonna rain anyway so don't worry too much. But if you bring a bucket they have cold outside taps for water.

Good point Aaron! Just gunna wash the wheels then if its going to rain
Make sure you put plenty of wax on beforehand if it's gonna rain, my car looks epic with the rain beading up and rolling off.

There's toilets near by and a tap near them on a post where you can get water - so you can wash to your heart's content.

all you will need is a soap of some sort and a microfibre... there will be plenty of water from above to wash and rinse!

Just washed mine in prep.
Don't wash it at the show when your parked next to other peoples cars, it's just anti social as you splashing water about washing yours splashes dirt and dust up from the ground onto the cars around making other peoples worse.

Jesus Christ. Drive the bloody thing, don't clean it.
Mine might get a dose of TFR and a jetwash tomorrow, but then again it won't shift the rubber from the last track day

Fill a bottle with filtered water before you go so no water spots.
I know you're there already...
