I spent about 13 hours over 3 days doing interior and exterior throughout. For just exterior, I spent about 8 hours by hand - you can cut this in half if you use a machine. This is the second time in four years that I have done a full detail. Normally, I just wash, clay, wax. The car looks better now than it did new (minus 70K miles worth of random $hit encountered at speed).

Damn Jar, I wish I had that kind of time. Looks great nice job!

There's a reason it's been nearly a year. I had to find that time. I really should have mowed and edged the lawn, but I can do that this week some time

Forgive my ignorance but I haven't flayed my car because I thought you had to polish after. I dint have a polisher yet. Also what glaze and sealant do you use?
