5ish hours. wash, clay bar, wax, rain x windows, back to black the plastics, scrub brake dust off rims (pain in the...) clean tires, bleach letters, tire foam...didn't even vacuum or anything that day. I figured i'd call it a good start.

God I think the most time I spent was about 5 hours after washing, clay bar, waxing, then vacuum interior, clean glass and wipe down all the surfaces. I only did that once lol. lately I just spend 1-1/2 hours washing it, then 30 minutes vacuuming another day lol.

I bought my ZR2 new in Oct '00. In that time, up until today, I believe I have spent less than ten hours "cleaning" it. Once I broke out the pressure washer (15 minutes) and usually vacuum the back once a year after hunting season is over.

I was thinking about wiping down the dash but think I'll wait until after hunting season this year.

I do keep the windshield clean, though.

The longest ive spent on mine was 12 hours over a weekend. That was just spent on the exterior too. I washed, buffed with compound, buffed with wax, decided there were still a lot of scratches so i wet sanded it. Then buffed it again with compound and wax. Then hand waxed it

The longest I have ever spent cleaning my blazer was when i bought it, Id say about 5 hours. The most disgusting interior I've ever seen.

Longest I think I've spent would be maybe 3hours just on exterior. I didn't even bothering washing her either, that was just getting the mud off.
