It takes me a complete 2 hours for a wash and dry. This doesn't include going over the car with a detail spray or tire dressing. I'm usually so drained by the time I'm done that I leave off on the detail and dressing.

 

Yep... About 2 hours sounds about right...

 

I don't have a place to wash mine so I have to take her to a coin-op. I power wash twice to get all the dust and debris (mostly bugs, yuk!) off and then hand wash with bucket and sponge. I take a gallon of hot water with me for this. About 1.5 hours start to end, including a spot-free final rinse.

It takes another 1/2 hour to drive back and dry the car. The job is made easier becasue I have a conveniently located 1-mile stretch of freeway between the coin-op and my garage so by the time I hop on and get off, most of the water beads are gone.

 

Yeah, it usually takes me about two hours to wash and dry my car. I'll usually wash the car on Friday or Saturday, and clean out the interior and apply Meguiar's Speedglaze over it the next day (about to switch to Crystal Guard). If I'm feeling really energetic and have lots of spare time, I'll do everything the same day.

 

Good lord! I'll time myself tonight if the weather breaks, but I'm guessing about 30 minutes tops on the exterior:

I use 2 buckets, one for the car and one for the wheels.

First do the wheels (my hands are always scratched up trying to get the insides as well).

Then the rest of the car is washed.

California Water Blade and follow up with the Big Blue.

I use CGQ and it's pretty easy as well.

 

My wife washes my car take her about an hour or some never timed it, I'm usually to busy sleeping or playing videogames.

 

It usually takes me about an hour to an hour and a half. Top to bottom, with dressing on the tires.

Maybe 30 min for the interior.
