cleaning your car

[Troy711]

what is the longest time you have spent cleaning your car?

mine is about 6 hours for my VS ute. it was washed and polished... then i removed the door trims, seats and center console and did the inside.

i have a feeling i am going to break that record though albeit in several sessions. so far i have spent 3 hours (1:30 last night and same tonight) cleaning paint off my car. yesterday some dumb arse painter decided to wash his rollers out near my car and now it is covered in white dots. i have to scrub it inch by inch and then polish it. i have a feeling it is going to take alot more then 6 hours cos so far i have only done the roof, left quater and left door. i sill have the left rear, bumper, bonnet, wheels and a few spots on the right side.

if anyone has some tips on cleaning off white acrylic house paint from a black car let me know

A clay bar should remove the paint easily

With a car i used to have i would spend a couple of hours each wash and that included boot and engine bay(by hand).I would do this about 4 or 5 times a week.I was obsessed with it.I wouldnt park it where i couldnt see it if i went out(mad i know)I left it out of sight once and some dog had spat on it,that was enough for me and i sold it off.

mabey not that long, but close to it

ages ago, when i had the vn, and when it still had paint on it, i was followinga concrete truck, he had a pool of water on the truck, (it was one of those pumping cement trucks) needless to say i got home, front of car, roof boot, and a little bit of drivers side was covered in cement slurry, took lots of water to get it off that day.

* Wash
* Clayed
* wheels removed, cleaned brake dust, waxed
* Swirl removal/paint correction
* less agressive swirl remover

All done by machine. Damn she looked good. My avatar photo was a few weeks after the detail.
