  • How long does it take you to clean your F-body?

    I timed myself and in one day's cleaning it took me 5 hours and 45 mins.

    Mine you, I have a black car. So I have to get it to shine perfectly.

    It takes me 30 to wash it with car soap. I don't dry it all the way because I have to apply Mother's scratch and swirl remover. I let it sit while I clean the engine bay. I then wipe it down. After that I use 3m's scratch remover for any other imperfections I see..

    I use Armoroll to wipe the plactic stuff and windex for the glass. I then apply Permawax for dark color cars by using a damp cloth. I let it sit while I vaccuum the inside and wipe the dash and stuff with Armoroll.

    Now I wipe the wax off. I wipe it competely off and then I wipe it again. I would continue to repeat this till it is perfect.

    And PRESTOOOO!! A nice looking Firebird.



    Don't say I miss a spot or else, I go insane. :D

    Well, I have a black car also, but I don't do as much as you. For a full cleaning it probably will take me about 2 hours.

          Haha I remember last year my girlfriend got mad because I took really long to wash my car before her prom, and I wasn't dressed and ready to go when she came over to drive there. :slap:

                Depends on how detailed I want to go. If it's just a wash/wax to get her decent looking, then 2-3hrs: wash, dry, and Cajun Shine All :D. If I want to go all out, like usual, then it's 5-6: wash, rewash needed parts, dry, swirl remover on needed spots, polish, wax, remove wax, empty out interior, vacuum interior, armor all where needed, clean the rims/tires, clean windows, rewax, remove 2nd wax. That's usually it. I bet there are tons of better looking cars than mine though, just because I live out on a dirt road, so she gets dirty every day :(.
