How long does it take you to wash your car?

[Punter]

I just washed my car today and realized that it took me about two hours, just wondering if I am insane or do other people spend this long on their cars too? I am not talking about waxing or anything here, just washing.

Usually 2 hours because I shine the tires and clean the rims.

Just wasing is an all afternoon project. I am ANAL when it comes to clean. I think I spend as much or more time washing the wheel wells and the bottom of the car as I do washing the rest of the car. It's a sickness.

How do you get to your wheel wells!

I was freakishly meticulous with my Maserati. I could spend three hours alone, Never-Dulling the chrome... I think my most ridiculous cleaning experience with it lasted nearly six hours, not including waxing.

Aaron,

Boy, you need to go to car washing school. I take both cars and a floor jack to the Bethel Road quater car was. Dump about 15 bucks in the change machine and go to town. I jack up each side and spray till I'm happy. A clean car is a happy car. (mine's not too happy right now)

6+ hours with wax
about 3-4 hours with wash+vaccum+tires

I usually average about 2-3 hours, this includes washing it, cleaning the rims, interior (vacuming), and cleaning the engine bay. Waxing would prolly take me another good hour or 2.

It all depends I think, if it's a quick wash, an hour the most, fi it's full detail then it could range from 5-6 hours for me (have to consider drying time of wax too)

I spent about an hour with my car today and the pressure washer. I usually spend more time but it was 40 degrees and i was getting cold. The pressure washer did do a good job though I think I will be using that more often.

It usually takes me 2-3 hours. I like to clean my wheels really well.
I spend a lot of time on the interior also. I hate having dirty carpet. dirt

[tecnodianoetic]

2 hours to do a pretty good job plus vacuum the interior... more if i wax, and ever more if i'm gettin ready for showing.

I used to go to the quarter thing and hose down the M3 with the pressure washer but those things kinda freak your car up. That soap they use sucks and you can't use the brush or it will leave swirl marks, so I started doing it by hand, much more effort but a much better result too.
