As some of you know, one of my cars is a white dirt magnet...

It's going to Bealieau soon, and has a nice spot reserved...

Problem is, that's 100-odd miles away, which means that as I drive it there, it'll pick up enough gunk to turn it brown again.

I was planning on waxing it the day before leaving home...

Any suggestions? As to either how to keep it clean on the way down, or re-clean it quickly once there?

Clean and wax before you leave and quick detail spray on arrival?
 
Cling-film vulnerable parts and Greased Lightening wipe over on arrival?

Surely they would have car cleaning facilities at Beaulieu ?
 
as above, a good fe w layers of wax and then detailing spray when you get there
 
Trailer it there under cover?
 
Cling film all over, peal off when you get there then quick detail.

Drive it there, enjoy the day and let the dirt worry about itself.
 
I take a 25ltr drum of water, wash n wax n a bucket with me. detailing spray just in case.

Or stay out the previous night near by. ;)

Is this for the COTY event on May 17th?

I might be displaying one for the weekend as well. I will just drive it the 160 miles there.

If they can get all 50 mine would be set in an ordered position...between a Fiat Tipo and a Renault Clio. :crazy:

Nope - it's the ford day of the 4th of May; have a spot by the mustangs ;)

Thanks for the suggestions - what's detailing spray?
