Event Details

If you ever had an interest in showing your beautiful Porsche, this is the seminar just for you. It will be moderated by long-time national certified judges and winners who will take the mystery and misery out of what can be an intimidating experience. The seminar will cover the judging basics and show you what both local and national judges are looking for at a judged contest. Sample judging sheets will be provided.

We will advise you on the type of products to use to get the maximum effect when preparing your car. Using various Porsches, we will also show you how to address common faults and what techniques to use to correct them. Whether you have an older Porsche or the newest model, both respond well to proper cleaning and preparation. We will address: Exterior, Interior, Storage area, Engine and Chassis. Even if you are not a competitor these classes will be of great benefit to the caring of your Porsche.
