WAXSTOCK 10, Europe’s largest gathering of detailing, valeting and car-care names will descend on the Coventry Arena, between next Saturday and Sunday, July 22 and 23.
As the name suggests, and for those that don’t know, it’s an unashamed celebration of the great and the good within the car cleaning industry, and a ‘must-see’ for anyone who enjoys detailing their motor.
Waxstock 2022 proved to a be a huge success, with more than 60 stands, 100 brands in attendance and many thousands of visitors making a pilgrimage of perfection to spend time with leading industry experts and brands, while learning tips, tricks and techniques to keep their car immaculate.
Raising the bar this year, organisers have added a second day, and an even more impressive line-up to give petrolhead polishers the perfect weekend away.
Arrive and Shine
The Waxstock Arrive and Shine on the Sunday, sponsored this year by Gliptone, is limited to just 150 cars and allows early risers to compete for trophies across a wide range of categories and classes.
Held predominantly outside in a VIP car park with only a few spaces available for display inside the hall for the full show, you can expect competition to be extremely tough and showcar standards to be impeccably high.
Yet the standards soar to even greater heights in the Top 16 SHOWDOWN, sponsored this year by Nasiol, taking centre spot in the main hall.
The Top 16 Showdown
With the most experienced detailers and car care professionals on the judging team, THE TOP 16 SHOWDOWN represents the ultimate in detailing accolades.
With five judges, a bias resistant points system and an open entry process, the best detailed cars will get the accolades they deserve and take home the most vaunted concours trophies in the detailing scene.
Best of all, it’s about the quality of work and preparation, rather than the subject matter.
As the show mantra states: ‘It’s about the clean, not the machine…’
So if you’ve got a high mileage Peugeot 106 that’s clinically perfect, you’re in with every chance of winning. No concours queen gets to lord it here.
Europe’s largest gathering
As well as some incredibly clean cars, Waxstock is perhaps Europe’s largest gathering of specialist car care manufacturers at a single event, with around 60 exhibitors displaying their wares and sharing their knowledge.
These range from small independent companies to huge bluechip brands, local companies and some from the other side of the world.
Representatives of almost every type of car care product and accessory will be at the show.
Demos and advice
There will be live demonstrations and clinics and experts will be on hand to offer advice throughout the event.
Many brands and retailers will offer special ‘show only’ deals to make a visitor’s car care budget go even further.
Commenting on the 2023 event, joint organiser John Hole said: “We’re very excited about this new two day event and the chance for our guests and brands to truly spend some time together doing what they love.
“The quality of the show and shine entries that we’ve seen so far are already some of the best cars to grace the event, and with so many great names exhibiting and demonstrating, plus the fabulous deals that are always on offer, it’s going to be the ultimate weekend for detailing enthusiasts and professionals.”
