Nice clarity on both cars. Lived in Austin for ten years, really enjoyed that town, lakes and hill country.

Just to clarify, the 6-10 hour figure is for both Porsche's, that is two cars right?

And when you say exterior only, does that include wheel wells or just tires and wheels?

Mike , the time for 1 car is between 6-10+ hours. with porsche i do get close to 6 hours for exterior only: hand wash , claybar , clean wheels and tires, dress them , exterior windows, 2 step correction, 1 coat of protection.
on most cars i work on wheels wells need just a light wipe /dress , so is a not a q-tip wheel well.

thank you!
the Van is great , it has one down side.. is weak when i drive uphill , and weak acceleration - i know is not build for it , i can cruise straight line 70-80 with easy. is a small engine i guess
22-25 mpg is a good number , it fits all the equipment i need, plus the wrap already paid in full. as size i can park it anywhere , is 1ft or 2 smaller than my sedan.

Mike i just got your 7 dvd , the art of detailing and principles machine polishing , i will leave you feedback once i am done with them , hopefully i can steal some tricks from there
