Assuming You've already waxed or coated your car and you regularly maintain your vehicle, how long does it take you to wash and dry your car? If you finish with a Spray Wax at the end you can include that time also.

1.5 hrs. That wheels first, two bucket, leaf blower, then partial wipe down with quick detailer. I feel like I'm slow. I also have three kids that harass me and want me to spray them and fill buckets for them and stuff.

About 40 minutes to wash & dry the exterior of my sedan, about an hour for my wife's mid-sized suv, and about an 1.25 hours for my big crew cab truck.

For my personal vehicle I spend about an hour on the wheels and maybe an hour on the exterior. The interior takes about an hour too if I vacuum. When I work on my own car I am normally not in a hurry. If I am in a hurry, like when I have to be at a car show right after work, I'll spend an hour on the wheels and the exterior using a rinseless wash.

Rinse, foam, rinse, bucket wash (including wheels last), flood rinse, dry with SiO2 drying aid...about 45 minutes.

Anywhere between 30min and 4 hours depending on how much I want to do

The best is my one year old. She needs her own bucket and loves when I spray her feet. I get a little distracted.

I only two-bucket wash my cars. All of them are coated. Typically I'll wash, dry, and then do a walk around with some QD spray to knock out any leftover water spots followed up by dressing the tires. These times are assuming the car has been driven normally and I don't have any post-road trip de-bugging work needed.

My hatchback VW takes 30~45 minutes. The wife's mid-size SUV is roughly 50min~1hr 15 minutes.

1.5-2 per vehicle. 2bm on a full size suv and eclb 1 ton truck. That does include engine bay and wheels/wells and the bed of the truck.
