Depends if I am just doing a wax maybe about 2hrs.
But if I am doing it propally eg:
1) Paint cleaner
2) Polish
3) Wax

Then maybe about 5 or 6 hours. It doesn't really bother me that much I kinda like it. Usually get a couple of my mates to come around and help out though. It's as good a excuse as any to have some beers and talk some nonscence.

I take a few hours for wash n wax. Polishing, and cutting if required is a whole other storey. Lasted 3 days once (not all day everyday).

My mate ganked soem detailing stuff from his work for me. Wax remover works great as a engine detailer! :)

I might go take out some of the council sprinklers soon....

Usually when I wash and polish it, I take up to 4 hours.

When I just wash it, I take about an hour.

Theres nothing wrong with taking your time, as long as you do a thorough job.

About 5 hours when I can be bothered... unfortunately i'm currently living in an apartment so I haven't done it for a while because there is no spot to do it in the shade.
