Wash and Shine Latest News
What's the latest buzz about our 25th Annual Wash and Shine?
Hey folks, this coming Sunday morning (the 24th) we're back at one of NorCal's greatest venues for a Porsche car show and that's The Livery in Danville! Thanks to the great location and the great price to enter (only $20) we'd like to invite you to bring your Porsche, participate if possible, but come by and meet fellow Diablo members if nothing else. It's an absolute piece of cake to enter and you can even just drive up and register on-site!
We've got over 30 trophies to award and we've got $$$$$ thousands of dollars worth of goods and services to raffle off. Yes, that's right, we've got sponsors who've provided fabulous goods and services which we're gonna raffle off over several hours. From major discounts on alignment from Roger Kraus Racing to a major discount on a major Porsche service at Kahler's Werkstatt to a super unreal discount on a full auto detailing at EMC Body Shop; those are just a few of the raffle opportunities. And we'll have some brand new Porsches on display courtesy of Porsche of Fremont, plus some modified Porsches courtesy of some local tuners!
You can expect to see over 50 Porsches in the show competition, but you can also join in the fun and compete your car!
- Entry signup starts at 8AM. Parking will be by model type in 10 categories.
- Judging starts at 9:30 AM
- Entertainment by Rock Hendricks, a professional "smooth jazz" saxophonist. Nice mellow background music for a Sunday morning. Checkout his music at: http://www.rockhendricks.com/
- Several of our advertisers will be displaying products and services. Wait till you see what they have donated to be raffled!
- Remember the Park and Party (Display) Class for those who just want to hang out, park their Porsche amongst all the other beautiful cars, enjoy visiting and picnicking with friends, and listening to the music in a wonderful location with lots of shops.
- Shopping...yes several stores are offering day of event discounts to us.
- Still need just a few more volunteers to make a successful event. Send us an email at: washnshine@diablo-pca.org
It promises to be a fun filled day, so see you Sunday in Danville!Charles Rooks & Eugenie Thomas

Ladies Only Fun Detailing Class 101
To Diablo Region Ladies-
At last year's Wash and Shine Concours, there was one woman contestant. Thinking on how to get more Diablo Region women involved with our biggest event, I am proposing two dates for on hands-on detailing your Porsches.
Ever wonder how guys can spend a whole day cleaning their Porsche yet won't spend 10 minutes vacuuming the dining room? Want to enter your Porsche in the Wash and Shine but just a little nervous? Well here is my idea for hands on detailing as a team effort so you kick some butt at the event.
- Need at least 5 attendees
- Meet at my Livermore Airport hanger (hanger #165, south side of airport on Jack London Blvd, Gate # SG-1)
- Bring your Porsche already washed
- Quick 15 minutes of training
- As a team, will do one car at a time, both outside and inside
- Probably will take 4 hours to get all cars done- I supply all the clay, polish, wax, micro-fiber towels
- Attendees bring some snacks, water, wine, etc.
- Bring fun and laughter!Dates, I prefer Saturday May 16 1PM but depending on everyones schedule, maybe able to have a Sunday clinic at 1PM
Let me know what dates work for you.

What is a Wash and Shine?
I've had a few members ask me for a brief description of a Wash and Shine, and I thought this would be a good place to share one.
A wash and shine is a more informal car show compared to a concours d'elegance - think county fair, not Pebble Beach - with simple rules to encourage participation. You give your car a good cleaning inside and out, then bring it to the show. There are several classes based on the model of car and year it was produced, so a 1973 911S isn't judged alongside a 2002 Boxster.
Each car starts with a maximum number of points, and some are deducted for each area where dirt is found. The judges score the cars based on what they can see - no white glove inspections of the engine bay or crawling under the car. And at the end of the judging the car in each class with the fewest deductions wins - and will receive a great looking first place trophy.
A Wash and Shine is a great opportunity to share your pride and joy with others, and enjoy the cars of your fellow members. It's simple to enter your own car, and you might be surprised how easy it is to score well.
