Several write-ups on the web, the hour is late but off the top of my head, I would say take a look at http://www.fca-se.org/concours.htm or something like that and your checklist will be full.

Found interesting. How you F owners prep their cars for competition.

Any thoughts on Lawrence's product list. I would probably use the Ital wax and stay away from Armorall.
Any one else with Concours winning detail secrets?

With the Concorso Italiano approaching, I thought I'd see what kind of "show-off" prep & detailing others here do.

My sequence so far is:

1- Wash with Turtle Wax liquid gold car wash.
2- Shammy it off
3- Slow ordital, light touch with Maquirer's #9 polish
4- Another cycle with Maquirer's #7 Deep Showcar Glaze
5- Final coat with Zymol beeswax polish
6- Armorall on the crinkle paint surfaces (Julian's Idea)

Looks like liquid ruby glass.

Anyone got any special tricks for the ultimate sparkle?

Anyone wash engine/engine compartment with a simple green solution?
