How long does it take...

[Goliath]

You to wash the Titan? Tomorrow will be my 3rd wash and I'm hoping to get it to an hour not including washing the wheels. There is no shade at my house and the sun hits part of the truck from 7a.m. on so I am constantly running around to keep it wet. The one negative about summer is the arc of the sun hits some part of the driveway all day.

Side of the house maybe?,

10 minutes at the covered do it yourself car wash. I like to wash it at night most times to avoid the soap spots. I guess I'm not real anal about it tho, just cause it doesn't stay clean very long at all. I probably don't do a great job either.

Hour and a half to two hours if I'm wiping down the inside too. Vacuum? Add half an hour. If I'm waxing it too? All day.

When did it turn into a race?

Crack a beer, take your time and do it right, and enjoy your hard work!

If you're concerned about the sun, just work in sections.

just got through washing mine for the 2nd time, well, first was a quicky, did not do the whole truck...... Took about 30-45 minutes. Did not do the inside other than picking up stuff from a short day trip. Washed and then dried using a drying towel, one of those that soaks up the water, then you wring it out, cannot think of the actual name!!!!!

Chamois?

My second time, I:

1. Washed it
2. Used a chemical abrasive wax (Pinnacle paint lotion) since it's new.
3. Wolfgang 3.0 Sealant
4. Pinnacle Souveran II
5. Megs tire shine, the purple stuff that smells like grapes

Total time investment? 8 hours...

One thing I try to mitigate the time investment during weekly washes is rotate out 1 extra step each week. For example, clean the door jambs one week, clean wheel wells the next week, clean / protect interior another time. I usually vacuum the inside whenever it gets kinda dirty which is once every couple weeks. I know...I'm anal and OCD. Is that possible?

i think its a shammy

[Big Kahuna]

remembered the name "The Absorber", think it is more of a fake chamois (Shammy), my father in law gave it to me about 10 years ago. works really well....

Long week, brain is fried!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, who actually goes to the trouble of removing the wheels to clean them from the back side? I am not that anal!!!!!

[Carbeaux]

I clean the wheel wells, but I do NOT pull the wheels off. I'll run a rag around the backside of the rims as much as possible, but that's it.

When I say wheel wells, I mean the inside of the fender around the wheels. I don't take the wheels off. Not sure if that's what you meant, but I'm not that anal either.

I guess im pertty anal I take the wheels off about every 4 months or so and clean thebacksides. I take the seats out to about once a year. And steeam clean the carpet. Takes me about 2 hours to clean truck 8 hours id I clay bar and wax. I used to do high end detailing back in high school so im pertty anal. I think im a little ocd to.
