Depends on how much you drive, how much the Z is in the elements, ect!

Around 2-4 hours to detail my ZR!

So i just waxed mine for the first time this year. Washed twice, applied wheelwax on my new Nismo LMGT4's, claybar'ed the entire car, then waxed. Probably took me about 4-5 hours for the whole process with breaks included.

My family thinks i'm crazy. Everytime someone walked by, i'd hear "you're STILL working on it?".

I'll probably wax it again in a month or so.

I really hope you are not clay barring every 2-3 weeks.

However, the time has come to clay bar it and start over.

A couple of posters up, what is this opti-seal and nattys blue you speak of?

I'd like to try a few other compounds, but I think I need to spring for a electric buffer.
ahh the beauty of Zaino. Claybar with no worries as Zaino will still be there.
