IF WE CAN’T SEE INSIDE YOUR ENGINE BAY, TRUNK and/or the INTERIOR IT’S A ZERO
This is not all of the judging criteria, but are some of the final touches that are often missed which can push you ahead of the rest…
Simply- It's all about cleanliness
Exterior
How well was the car polished? Does it have scratches, dents, swirls, etc… The newer the car the harder we judge it. For older cars we like to know if it’s all original or if it’s been restored.
Is it wrapped, how are the edges? We also check for glue lines and bubbles. Is the car wrapped with colour shift wrap, is the shift all in the same direction? The same applies for carbon wrap.
We will check body panel gaps. As well as noting aftermarket components, like splitters and wings.
Engine Bay
Are all of your hose clamps orientated the same way? Re-organizing, cleaning up or tucking cables can make a huge difference. Fully removing deleted components can help clean up that engine bay.
We check the cleanliness of everything. It doesn’t matter how expensive the part is, it’s the quality of the install
Interior
Are all of the items in your car related to your theme? Did you clean under your seats, even your door jambs? We don’t move anything, but look at everything
Fit and Finish
This is a big one and missed a lot of the time, it doesn’t matter how much money or how little you spent on your car. This is where all of the judging criteria comes into one place. We judge the car as a whole for this one.
Something as simple as body gaps, bumper fitments, installation of aftermarket parts. Are all your hose clamps lined up, same style? It comes down to the small picky stuff that will set you apart from the rest.
Take your time to get everything clocked and sitting perfectly, go full OCD for this one
