Im just wondering since i started my first full detail this weekend.

About how long does it take you to do a full detail.

as for me i started last night around 6

here is a little list of what i did

First( 2 hours)

I cleaned all four wheels and fenders

rinsed the wheels and tires down

sprayed fenders with apc

scrubed fenders with fender brush

scrubed tire trim

cleaned inside wheel with my drill

used green wheel cleaner and wheel brush on rims

then applied a coat of vrt

all on each wheel

id say this took me just under two hours

i then called it a night

washing: ( about 3 hours)

this morning i started around 12

first i rinsed the entire car very well

broke out the foam gun

rinsed it down again

did one more pass with the foam gun

then went to work with the 2 bucket wash system

drying:20 mins ( + 30 more mins if i were to completely dry)

i used the " pooling " ( i think its called ) water hose technique

i then pulled my car under cover

Broke out the leaf blower

by then the car was 95% dry

After that i clayed all the car ( including glass) : 5-6 hours

i went through about a bottle of detail spray ( is that normal)

i think the man reason that took me so long was because i had to tape off so many vinyl stripes on my car

Racing stripes

hockey stripes

rear black out

and gill inserts

tomorrow i will get back up

do kind of a semi wash on the car

and then use swirl an haze remover, revive polish and a coat of americana paste wax

clean all the interior windshields and all of the dash carpet leather etc

I feel like im taking to long ( but i know its all worth it )

Edit: my car is about 2 months old

any opinions / advice

and again please post on how long your full detail goes on

im confused, didnt the junkman mention in his videos that using waterless wash on a dusty car would make swirls ?
