hey guys..

i was just thinking about it, and i realized i spent alot of time washing and drying and waxing and detailing my car when i "wash" it..

so i was just wondering, how much time do you guys spend on a good "wash"

I only use Zaino Brothers polish, have been for years.

On a side note, where do you work? I am in Hernando County, FL Local 3760.

Small world for sure, I'll be looking for your car now. Mine is easy to spot, look for the "rescue22" decal on the back window, and the "RESQ22" Licence plate on the back.

Cool, good luck with standards. It's a pretty good career choice with a great schedule and even better retirement (if it's State retirement).

If the car is just dusty then a quick once over with the California Duster works well.

If she's just a little dirty (ran through a puddle lets say) then a quick bed bath can be done (damp sponge to lift off the dirt & a good chamois), 30 minutes or so.

For a proper wash down then it's just clean, warm, water the california water blade + chamois to dry & a good wax - I'm using Meguiars Nxt Generation wax - and of course the wheels as well. All told thats about 2-3 hours for me to be happy with my work, longer if I'm cleaning the interior (add another hour), longer still if I'm detailing the engine bay (another hour). Am I just really sad or is everyone like this with their vehicle?
