How long does it takes...

[Anubis]

Dear all,

 

I wonder how long does it take to do a full grooming? Wash, Clay, Polish, Wax, Wheels, Interior.

[Garlic]

For me, the above will take at least 4 hrs depending on paint condition.

[Beei]

wash - 45 mins

clay - 1 hour

polish - 1 to 1 1/2 hour

seal/wax - 1 hour

wheel - 1/2 hour

interior - 1/4 hour

 

Total = 4-5 hours

normally clay and polish is out.. some clay and too much polishing not so good for paintwork.. every 3 months then do

[Mzrmazda3]

For me,

 

1) Wash & Dry - 45 mins ~ 1 hour

2) Clay - 45 mins ~ 1 hour

3) Apply Polish & Bluff Off - 45 mins ~ 1 hour

4) Apply Wax & Bluff Off - 45 mins ~ 1 hour

5) Interior (Dash Board, Leather Seats & Side Panels) - 30 mins ~ 40 mins

6) Engine Compartment (Clean With Damp Cloth & Apply Armourall) - 10 mins

7) Rims (Spray Rims Cleaner & Clean Inside Out) - 15 mins

8) Windscreen - 7 ~ 10 mins

9) Apply Tyre Dressing - 5 ~ 7 mins

 

 

After all these steps, the blxxdy backbone almost break liao

Swore not to wax the damn car again. Never did even up to the day I sold it.

Think i will need abt 4hrs by hand. If using machine, it really depends on the condition. Less defects = less time required and less

[Ghostrider]

I dun do all at one go...meaning interior + exterior...cos I prob would be dead by then...

 

For exterior - Wash, clay, wax plus wheels & trimming...4 hrs at least.

Interior - Vacuum, wash mats, clean dashboard and apply conditioner, clean and condition leather seats, all glass surface...3-4 hours.
