How long does it take for a complete detail?

Im talking wash, claybar, cleaner wax, polish, and then wax. Say you're doing it with an orbital buffer. Less or more than 3 hours? Trying to budget some time this weekend to do it all, but I dont want to rush and make it look bad. If its more than 3 hours I'll save it for when I have more time.

It always takes me more than three hours but that may or maynot be because of the beers upon beers I am drinking while detailing..

It takes me at least 3 hours just to CLEAN my car inside and out..... but I'm SUPER anal about it.



IMO, take your time, give yourself the whole day and you'll be able to do a great job and not rush through it.
