I wouldn't worry about the time all that much, no one is doing a full detail on a highlander in 6hrs. What pads are you using?

I know what yo mean. I did a quick wash/wax and just as I was giving it its final wipe down, it started to rain, just enough that it covered everything. Oh well, I got the wax on and that's what matters as its been raining just about everyday this week. I could see my wax start to suffer.
