I've travelled to a few shows over the years, and have good luck leaving a thin coat of wax on the car whenI leave, and when I get to where I'm going, you can wipe it off and presto, a nearly spotless car again, and you can barely tell it's there on the car when it's moving... at least on pewter paint anyway.
Honestly, I'm not going to worry too much about detailing the car since this isn't a static car show, but rather a rolling caravan and the car will look perfectly fine going down the road at 65mph.
See everyone in Orlando.

Good idea about the Z2! It put 4-5 coats on the nose already and will be adding one more before I leave, That will be staying on until I get down there. I'm going to try not to be to concerned with detailing while I'm down there. A few quick car washes here and there and maybe a little detailing so keep it looking good. I'd like to be able to check out the other cars and things going on instead of detailing. Plus it will probably be way to hot down there

I'd also out the wax on those rims too... so the brake dust doesn't collect on them too bad, those things look mint, but will be alot of work if a cleaning is needed.
Trust me on the Z2, I've tried alot of stuff to be able to get to a car show, and in 15 min be able to go over my whole car with a bottle of Z6 and a clean towel and have it look perfect... it works really well.
It's just too bad that every major car show in the CT area treats any car made after 1975 like a red headed step child, and ignore them completely.
