Am I taking too long?
So during my spring break I decided to give my car a quick detail. The process consisted of a car wash, clay bar, one layer of polish, and two layers of wax. Total time spent was about 13 hours. Does that seem right? How long does it usually take you guys to do 1 layer of polish on the s2k? Oh yea i'm using i think either 5 or 5.5" pads if that matters.

not sure what you mean by a layer of polish...
polish is worked, not layered- and yes, a full polish and detail does take a full day -
in any case you sure sound like a wacko and need a badge. to get one post up pics of your clean car and pm me.

My friend and I did my Wife's Scion in about 6.5 hours, maybe a little longer. Keep in mind this was with 2 people. It took me about 9 hours to do the same steps on my Pathfinder last year.

That 9 hours did not include the interior or engine bay though, so don't feel bad.
