... and my back is killing me. How long does it take ya'll to wash your car?

 

10 min get all stuff together to wash
5-10 min spray water
10 minutes soap her up, including wheels
10 minutes wash off soap
30 minutes drying time with chamois + cloths
10 minutes wiping down wheels
5 minutes tire shine
5 minutes chrome tips shine
5 minutes final walkaround, remnant water drying

hour and a half max... add another half an hour for waxing once in 2-3 months
another 10-15 minutes for interior cleaning + protectant

 

The polish took me forever.. at least 30+ minutes..

 

I can wash in about 30 minutes. Quick dry in 15 minutes. Really dry in 45 minutes.

 

word desiZ and i thought i was the only compulsive Z washer...my neighbors prolly thinks i'm crazy cause i wash her so much

 

This thread needs some photographs.

 

30" for a very quick wash, 2-3 hours if I'm gonna break out the Zaino (2-3 coats), add another 45 minutes if I'm gonna wheel wax the Volks!!! My neighbors ALWAYS ask if I can do their car next, really gets annoying, but I laugh likes its original and funny!!!

 

^neighbors did the same crap until i said sure for a 150 bucks, they dont say it anymore, although their bright kids say hey whatcha doin washin your car. i smile and say yeah, but really want to say wtf does it look like.

 

Neighbors think I'm crazy too, I do a quick detail every other day, 15 mins. Then wash twice a month, and wash and wax every 2 months. Just me and Bob Marley =)

 

I can see you

 

nice shine... a little crazy.... hell no.....! personally, i take my car and get it wash, then i come back and wax it every 2 months.... but i have the car wash every week and a half..

 

Be careful when you start the car. There is some guy in front kneeling on the ground. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

 

u asked for it

 

I can't believe it... I worked so hard yesterday to get my baby clean, and there was dirt all over the road today. So now the rear is covered in a fine layer of dust. I'm so pissed...

 

Argh... !! **** happens dude! I can feel your pain

btw. after Zaino polish

 

incredible pic!!! ^^^^^

Takes me about 3 hours to fully wash and wax..

if wash and dry only, takes me about 30-45 mins..

 

I just lovin washin my Z *neighbors probably think I'm totally crazy even washing the car when its like 30°F outside*... and yeah the SuperBlack paint needs alot of care :P

 

And this is why you need the California Duster. It will safely remove the dust that settles on your car.

 

Beautiful car! I really really love the deep shine db has. What % tint is that? Any other pics of your car?

 

I am scared of the California Duster. Bought it a year ago and always stored it in its container, never letting it touch anything except the surface of my car. Well....after 6 months of use, once I was using it under bright lights to get some fine dust off my freshly waxed (day old) black Maxima. What did I see? Swirls were developing right before my eyes as I moved the duster down the hood! On every single inch it came in contact with! No, there were no surface abrasives on the hood, just your everyday dust. I nearly choked when I saw that.

I haven't touched the duster since and never will again.
