[Dan 172]

Probably 45mins for a weekly wash and quick detail spray.

Once every few months 3hours for a polish, seal & wax

 

[Andi-B]

Between 3/5 hours dependant on if I'm waxing it and cleaning the engine etc.

But I usually clean the interior too at the same time. That takes about 1 hour on its own.

 

[Christopher]

depends... quick wash - 1-2 hours

i've spent upwards of 8 hours in one day

 

[McBunny]

erm 0min i dont clean them

 

[7MAT]

I normally only spend a few hours cleaning the car, as any longer and I'll get moaned at by wife and kids for loving my car more than them.

I could spend all day tinkering with the car, cleaning, testing new products etc.

 

[Chick]

Bout 45 mins a week.

On average, less than half an hour! The car-cleaning novelty wore off long ago! I can find better things to do than spend hours cleaning my car and realise now just how much time I used to spend. If I've driven it on a wet day and get home with it looking mucky I still wash the dirt off but don't spend hours polishing it any more!

 

[chris_182]

1 hour a year tops

 

[rory182]

quicky takes about 45 mins but can easily take 5 hours to wash, clay, paint cleanse, polish, scratch x and wax - but thats a rare requirement

 

[Marky_]

Proper wash is probably about 4ish hours. Quick wash 1-2 hours.

But i don't clean it weekly

 

[MillerLight]

1 hour each week seems to keep it looking good

 

[Duncx]

Normally 1-2 hours

 

[Christophe]

i clean my car with out fail every saturday which takes me 2 hours. That only includes wash dry wax.

If i do full works then 4-5 hours

Bit that takes longest and hate the most is cleaning alloys. especially with multispokes

 

[DebV6]

Between 2 and 3 unless I'm giving it a good polish/seal etc then obviously longer. Gofknows how long I'll spend now I have the vee though!

 

[H182]

Only an hour or so unless its being polished/waxed then its about 3. I can never be arsed anymore.

 

[Reyes]

about 4... then it rains..

 

[DebV6]

about 4... then it rains..

Yeah, same here! I'm not the only cursed one then!

 

[thecremeegg]

Hasnt been washed since probably october....so none of those options apply lol

 

[Rich]

About half an hour a month on the 306.

Clio these days maybe an hour a month.

 

[Fletcher]

atm about 1-2 hrs, not very often.

 

[pinky]

Can do it in an hour...but when I go mad it can last upto 5hrs.

 

[Rich]

lol - when I go mad it can take weeks !

 

[Eddieb]

Between 1-2 hours for a quick wash.
4 hours for a mini detail
Then maybe near 12 for a full on job!

Took me 2 days todo my bros old clio!

 

[MT AUDIO]

bout 3-4 hours when i do

 

[Brand86]

Not sure probably spent about 2 hours or so minimum a weekend, sometimes taking the entire weekend to do the works...too long anyway.

Since September last year though, virtually nothing! It is looking like a **** waiting for its resurrection...did the inside yesterday...then getting bonnet dent repaired, then wheels off, callipers painted (although might ignore again!) then a nice machine polish with some Sonus Paint Cleanser and then just going straight to the Onyx with no sealant. Oh and also want to fit silvervisions if I get a chance too, so overall going to be a busy Easter break!

 

[Clgale88]

In the winter i go over it quick so takes me about 2 hours including a polish then in the summer i take alot longer sometimes 5 hours including polish inside the wheel arches and wheels all the door shuts are done everytime and in the summer i do the engine bay to.

 

[B5 BDJ]

about 2 hours bit longer!

 

[Ali]

1hr for a wash!

bout 10-15 for a proper PC.

 

[Daniel]

Wash/vac/windows takes me about 30 minutes.

If i'm doing a proper start to finish job, i've been known to take 8 hours!!

 

[Coby.]

2 Hours 1 week then about 5 Hours the Next

 

[gjgaz]

Clean mine once a week (twice on rare occasions), takes me 1hr for a wash and leathering down.

 

[Michael172]

thorough was, polish and wax takes me 2-2.5 hours.


Thorough detail can take a full day, ie: 9am - dusk.....thats in the summer too.

 

[kevin.s]
