Show N’ Shine Contest (November)

[Meghan]

We're looking for some incredible photos that showcase your best work. It could earn you a $100 gift certificate to Autogeek.net for a monthly winner, or a $1000 check at year's end if your work is deemed the very best. Show us your detailing skills and we'll show you the money!

Each month, we'll pick a product line. Participants will detail a vehicle using any product we carry. The Autogeek staff will pick the photo that shows the most impressive shine. The winner will get a $100 gift certificate at the end of the month and be entered to win a $1000 check from Max at the end of this year.

For this month we are not picking one product line, we are letting you pick. You can detail your vehicle with any and/or all of our products that we carry and you will be submitted to win!

ONLY ONE CATCH! You must take the picture with the product on the car in at least one photo!

Submit your pictures by posting them on this thread. We will announce a winner at the end of this month. Good luck and happy detailing!

Please do not reply or comment on this thread, just post pics if you are entering this contest!

The dirty wheel is before.

 

[shuskan3]

1930 Ford Model A Coupe:

The car was polished using Menzerna 106ff and white pad. The LSP was Clearkote's Carnauba Moose and after the CMW cured for 48 hours I went back with an ONR wash and then topped it with Opti-Seal the morning of the show. The Opti-Seal seemed to cure fine over the cured CMW and added a nice "bright glow" to the paint.

NOTE: I realize that the Menzerna showed in the picture was not purchased from AG. But the others were! :thumbsup:
