Simply Clean
Simply Clean was established in January 2010 with the intention of being a single organized car meet scheduled for 60 cars and taking place in an Orlando, Florida shopping plaza. The first Simply Clean meeting for a niche culture at the time. It showcased the natural evolution from the modification excesses popular with the import culture in previous years to a simpler and cleaner presentation. To everyone’s surprise, over 120 cars attended the inaugural meet despite a brisk temperature of only 36°F. Many traveled from North and South Florida to participate. With the help of Social Media and the growing culture of enthusiasts, this single event idea had become a full blown annual event outgrowing two different venues. Simply Clean continues to grow and the last event was held in Ormond Beach, Florida.
The idea of Simply Clean from the beginning was to not generalize one specific make or model but to bring together automotive enthusiasts with the same mind-set of modifying a vehicle with simplicity and cleanliness. Our motto, “it’s not a competition” means just that. Cars in attendance are not judged for awards, accolades or the receipt of trophies. 400 cars that are representative of the ideals of Simply Clean culture are hand selected through an online screening process. Every vehicle chosen received a personal hand crafted acceptance package via mail. The package arrived prior to the event and contained event information, show access and assigned parking details.
In addition to bringing 10,000+ people together for a day of automotive appreciation, we also worked with Pathways To Care. Pathways To Care is “a not-for-profit assisted living facility which provides recuperative care to homeless men & women recovering from an acute illness of injury”. In exchange for canned food, water and hygiene products, raffle tickets were given with opportunities to win prizes from an amazing selection of over 30 vendors. The last 7 shows combined, Simply Clean was able to donate more than 5,000 lbs of products for men and women in need.
