How long does it normally take you guys to do a full paint correction and dress the trim with a rotary? With a DA?

This once again depends on the condition of the vehicle. Alot of people on here will only do a 1 or 2 step polishso this will shorten the length of the detail. I will only do completely corrections so it usually takes me a couple of days

This was my first time and didnt have much lighting- just a single flood light and garage lights. I did M105/M205, cleaned pads as I went, and taping= ~5-6hours

I understand that there are a lot of variables. I'm just saying on average. I'm trying to see really if I'm wasting time or not. It took 17 hours to do my step moms cobalt ss on a DA.

Don't forget you are new to this and over time you will get your process down and it will not take as long.

7424, 3 step, sealant, 2 coats of wax, with all trim.

I was however able to do that practice hood with the rotary in no time at all.
