    On Sundays, I clean my car inside and out...It will take me from 4pm until almost 7 in the evening. Sometimes, I even think of having my car cleaned sa car wash na lang...How about you guys, how many hours would it take you to clean your car? Talagang clean everything inside and out - wash, wipe dry the car, wax, vacuum, wash/clean the engine area, etc... Thanks in advance

    none. I just go have it done at the nearby car washes who charges P60/P70 per wash. In-and-out in 15 to 20 minutes.

    I would also want to have it done by the car wash, they have the proper equipment and the like, not to mention that by doing it myself I will be using so much water and wasting it in the process specially since I am only using a garden hose, since I don't have any pressure washer... Thanks any way. If you have it done by the car wash shop how many times on a week would you have that cleaned by them?

    An hour if only the outside but if including the interior and carpet 2 hours would be sufficient.

    Car. Larger vehicles (like SUV, XP, vans, etc) are charged more.

    I clean it my own. But it has to be cleaned thoroughly at least once a month thats why i take it to a carwash. iba parin ang linis ng pressurized kontra sa hose.

    doing it myself. one by one because it'll be difficult if i do it at the same time. doing it with ease using regular garden hose (washing and drying the exterior including matting and all door trims) takes about 1.5-2 hours.

    interior using vaccum and some detailing is once a month for at least 2 hours, another 2 hours with the engine bay and under chassis with the help of my pressure washer.

    it depends...

    if its only a normal wash, vacuum, and wax; i would do it for 2-3 hours.

    for "sipag" cleaning that includes wash, wax, interior, engine, and removing tar and stubborn dirt, well, one day is not enough. hehehe

    personally, i dont like the cleaning service here in our area coz they miss spots and when they wax. minamadali nila pagremove ng wax resulting to wax stains. kaya ayaw ko. i rather do it myself.

    Depends on how much dirt I have to remove, especially mud in the under chassis. I think I can squeeze in one hour each for our pick-up truck and SUV. My car takes a bit less. All of which include vacuuming and interior wiping.

    If I decide to Nano Wax, it takes longer. Engine washing I leave it to the car wash shops. Too chicken to do it myself

    I invested in a pressure washer (Black and Decker) which effectively helps the 'blasting-off' of thick mud in the underchassis.

    less than 2 hours, once a week. that includes wash and an application of turtle wax ice love the stuff so quick to use...

    vacuum the inside as needed only, maybe once a month or so...

    for the year 2008, i think i accumulated a grand total of 10 minutes spent cleaning vehicles.

    ang saya pag may carwash sa tapat ng bahay!

    depends on how dirty my car, when it rains got the car all muddy takes me 30-45mins inside/out. summer 25-35mins inside/outw/o wax, i only wax my accord every 1x a year around after summer. i also have a power washer so saves me time getting dirt out and for the engine i dont put any dressing or any of that oil base stuff, thats like dirt magnet its nice when first look after a few weeks its harder to clean off.

    around 1.5-2 hours, all by myself. labas pa lang yon! hassle yong matutuyo na yong ibang parts bago mo pa mapunasan (dahil nga mag-isa lang ako), so magkakawater marks. i only did it twice.

    tapos non sa big bert's (ortigas) na ko nagpapalinis. for P100, sulit! kasi hindi lang basta-basta linis. talagang chinecheck ng supervisor/manager nila yong gawa ng mga tao nila.
