Show N' Shine Contest (March)

[Meghan]

We're looking for some incredible photos that showcase your best work. It could earn you a $100 gift certificate to Autogeek.net for a monthly winner, or a $1000 check at year's end if your work is deemed the very best. Show us your detailing skills and we'll show you the money!

Each month, we'll pick a product line. Participants will detail a vehicle using a product from that line as the last step product (ie., wax or sealant). The Autogeek staff will pick the photo that shows the most impressive shine. The winner will get a $100 gift certificate at the end of the month and be entered to win a $1000 check from Max at the end of this year.

This month, the brand is Optimum. If you haven't used Optimum, now is a great time to try it because all Optimum products are on sale.

Optimum Polymer Technologies (http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-wax.html)

Submit your pictures by posting them on this thread. We will announce a winner at the end of this month. Good luck and happy detailing!

Going to add a little twist to this one and use my interior. I love Optimum's Protectant Plus.

Optimum Compound + Optimum Hyper Compound used on plastic bumper. Optimum has a very long working time and plastic is sensitive to heat. The compound removed the scratches and I filled in several gouges that were very deep.

The fender was polisealed in November and topped with a different product. Has only received Optimum No Rinse and a spray topper once a month since...car has been threw 3 snow storms since and is daily driven. The hood is a test between a couple of products. Half Poliseal plus a topper vs different combo of products.
