As far as detailing and polishing, that's what I do on rainy evenings in the garage. Just like going on a job interview, you would not show up in torn dirty jeans and not shaven for 2 days. So why would I show my car looking the same way? If you built it, it's called taking pride in your work.

I agree. If a car is taken care of it doesn't take too long to clean up.

I rode my motorcycle every chance I could and even had it in the rain. I would take a bit of time after most rides and would have it looking good again pretty quick.

You can enjoy a ride and keep it clean.

When a car is placed in a show its going to be judged by people. If its going to be displayed I feel it should be cleaned up.

For me I loved to see a detailed car at a car show. It makes it even better if that detailed car sees the street as well. If it does see the street then it can't be perfect but making it look its best shouldn't be out of the question.

A race car can still be washed and cleaned out.

I use to own a detail shop so I kinda look closer at the car and how well they prepared for the show. I detailed a couple for a show as well.

If you drive a lot you can save some time detailing by not putting mirrors under the car and keep the hood closed.
