right i jus thought id make a poll on how long it takes peeps 2 clean their cars JUST THE OUTSIDE but then thats a proper job not jus a rinse lol.
coz i usually take bout 3 hours 2 do wax an wash an mayb squeeze a bit of bumper care in if im super fast. if i polish an wax an everythin will take over 4 hours mayb lol. (i do it in bits tho mayb leave the waxing till next moringn an keep car in garage overnight) takes me bout an hour mayb 2 do inside mayb sumtimes more lol. i dont get how peeps do a decnet job in such little time lol
