How long do you take washing your car?
I timed myself the last couple times and if I get fairly detailed with it, I take about an hour and fifteen minutes in my driveway.
CV guys you take longer? shorter?

If I just do a good wash job it'll take me about 20 mins including drying, if I clean up the interior that takes me about 20 mins as well. If I detail it depends on lazy I am but its around the neighborhood of 1-2 hours. A clay bar will take me 3 hours cause I polish/wax afterwards and I do everything by hand which is why it takes so long.

yeeesh, everyone talking about clay bar, waxing, shining....I need to get on that...been a while. I was thinking my 1.25 hours might have been excessive but it looks about average

I just thought Id add some more to this topic.
When I get this dirty it usually takes about a good 30mins to pressure wash and hose off all the dirt clods and caked on mud. Especially if I dont wash right away.
We'll see what happens once it rains more in winter time and how much more dirt/mud/filth I can kick up on my car!
