How much time spent washing your car?

OC Guy · 07-13-2007, 01:04 PM

Roughly 45 minutes for my wash. I do the door jams of course as well. Typical 2 bucket method you will see on Autopia.

Well, at least if she locks you out of the house, you have more time to work on the car!

Anyway, it takes me about an hour to an hour and a half. I do the wheels and wheel wells first with a separate bucket and mitt, then the car, one section at a time. Drying does take the most time out of anything, though.

I send 25-30 mins fully cleaned inside out w/ wax because I run a car wash

That's some good motivation to keep working.. You can't go inside, might as well detail..

i didn't know that you were supposed to wash these cars, i thought they were self cleaning.

started at 4:00pm... Wash (Z7), Clay, ZAIO, Z2 (including cleaning wheels but not interior) 6:30pm finished.
Didn't Z5 - but may do a coat of Z5 and Z2 tomorrow (if I'm able to move)...
Normally just wash and dry with Z7 in 1-2 hrs each weekend...
It's a great workout...

Did my first Zaino set on the 4th and it took me 7 hours in and out of the car. Did a wheel and body wash with a quick detail over the car in about 2 hours.
