L to the OL.
5-6 hours for that? I don't think so. It takes me 5-6 hours to wash and reapply wax to mine. Let alone correct paint!
Clio sized car takes me 10-12 hours. So a day. I have two booked in this weekend, so keep an eye out for threads/write ups. I'll include time lines just for you.

Just make sure he knows what he's doing, or you'll pay 60£ + £100s to correct the issues he's caused, either in respraying or proper machine correction.
OK, I'll explain this a little bit more.

HI!
SRP, EGP and decent wash stuff;
Wash mitt
Drying towel (not chammy leather etc)
Two bucket method (one for rinsing mitt after every time it's touched the panel)
Decent shampoo like Megs Gold Class

We have two wireless boosters. One is plugged into the wireless router, the second is just plugged into the mains at the other end of the house.
