Your show will most likely have rules regarding these issues. Length usually varies between 1/2 to 3/4 inches. Topical skin products can or cannot be oil based. Each show is different.

Some people will clip at about a 1/4" and others do not clip they just make sure they are clean and shined up a little. Some of it depends on how much time you have and how many pigs you are selling.
