Thanks guys,
What you didn't see was the prep the month prior:
Three-step wax job
Broke out the "virgin" Sentra matts (they are discontinued - I have a set just for shows so the letters pop white)
Hand-detailed the engine (that's lying on your back for a couple of days)
The inner fender liners were ratty and would not clean up well so those were replaced, plus the splash guards by the axels on both sides, plus the two up splash guards up front under the radiator (including all new fasteners so they'd look nice!)
All the wheels taken off, and polished
Cleaned up the coil overs and all the suspenstion bits you can see
Polished the muffler
Plus all the normal tricks
I'd like to thank Yahoo Maps for identifying all the coin operated car washed within a five mile radius of the hotel....
Oh yea - and I got up at 5 am in the morning while it was still dark to wash the car one more time before the show
The mechanical stuff before the race:
brake pads and fluid
new K&N filter
drain and replace tranny fluids, power steering fluid, oil with synthetic
drain radiator and block
new fuel filter, rotor, cap, plugs, front motor mount (ES bushing)
etc...
