How much time do you spend detaling you car?
I'm curious to see how much time you guys spend detailing your cars. I spend about half a day doing mine.

I do a weekly wash with quick detailer about an hour. Every Month I do a complete detail that takes me half a day, wash, wax, interior.

It takes me 1-2 hours to wash, dress wheels and wheelwells, vacuum interior and clean with a damp microfiber. I do this weekly. Every month or so I will wax which adds about 45 minutes. Every 4 months I do a complete exterior detail which includes wash, clay bar, polish, paint cleaner and then a sealant. Takes about 4 hours. I do the leather every couple of months - takes about 30 minutes.
Now when I had a Jet Black car those times triple. Just very difficult and time consuming.

If it's more than a wash I just pay someone to do it. I used to detail my cars, polish and wax and all that fun stuff.... But on my time off work I'd rather be driving my car than cleaning it.

I have a new found respect for mobile detailers. I used to spend 6-7+ hours detailing my car on a weekend every 3 months. Now I just do a good 2 hour wash and let the pros (detailwerkz.com) do it.
But I have to admit detailing your own car does give you a lot more pride and feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day when you can just sit back and look at it. (for the full 2 days before it gets rained on :P )

I guess I'm the only one that doesn't have hours to spend washing and detailing my car. Wow, that's a lot of time spend making it clean.
