Simply Clean 2025 - The Comeback

The inaugural Simply Clean event was a humble affair, intended for just 60 cars. However, over 120 vehicles showed up, braving a chilly 36°F morning to celebrate a shared passion for clean and simple car builds. This overwhelming response set the tone for future events, emphasizing community over competition.

Over the years, Simply Clean outgrew its initial venues, eventually finding a home at Destination Daytona in Ormond Beach. Here, the event blossomed, attracting over 10,000 attendees and showcasing a diverse array of vehicles—from meticulously restored classics to innovative modern builds. The ethos remained consistent: no trophies, no competitions—just a celebration of automotive artistry and camaraderie.

Simply Clean made a long-awaited return on May 10, 2025, transforming the Apopka Amphitheater into a showcase of minimalistic automotive artistry. Featuring 250 meticulously chosen vehicles, the invitational celebrated the essence of clean design and curated style. Attendees enjoyed not only stunning builds but also a vibrant vendor area and the tight-knit community vibes that define the Simply Clean legacy.

What sets Simply Clean apart is its unwavering commitment to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment. It's not just about the cars; it's about the stories behind them and the people who bring them to life. Over the years, the event has also contributed to charitable causes, such as supporting Pathways To Care, demonstrating that the Simply Clean community extends its impact beyond the automotive world.

As we reflect on our journey with Simply Clean, we're filled with anticipation for what the future holds. The event's return in 2025 reaffirmed its significance in the car enthusiast community, and we're excited to see how it will continue to evolve while staying true to its roots.
