How many hours do you guys spend on an average clay bar session?
 

I forget which thread it was but some folks say they spend 4+ hours clay baring there car which seems a bit nuts, considering you still have to wax afterwards - so give or take 5-6 hours for the whole process (washing, claying, possibly polishing and finally waxing.) Is this actually the amount of time it takes to detail a car or are those people just picky?

Too much work for me.

I clay bar every couple of months and it usually takes me 1-2 hours.

Back in the day, it would take me about 4-5 hours to wash, clay bar and wax my small cars.

Now, this the schedule:

Day one, vac and wash

Day two, clay bar

Day three, wax top half

Day four, wax bottom half

:D

Nanoskin. You'll thank me later.

X2 for the clay sponges like the Nanoskin. Much faster, can be used much more than a clay bar and isn't ruined if you drop it on the ground.

The process will take most of the day, considering polishing and waxing would be required after.

This long:

if im clay baring, im usually polishing the area i do afterwords

i will break it into sections,
i actually am starting to see some love marks on the car, need to bust out the polisher and do some work, ill probably do it once right before winter, apply a sealant and a couple coats of wax and call it a day

but id say atleast 1-2 hour sessions when i do it (usually 3 or 4 sessions)

Under 15 minutes.

Larger clay bar = more surface area = less time spent claying.

Clay baring is the easiest part. Easily done in 15-30 minutes with a good / large bar. The washing/polishing/waxing/etc is the part that takes the longest

This. I spend easily 12 hours washing, prepping, polishing, and waxing. Clay takes an hour or so with a good size piece and good lube.

20-30 minutes with nankin towel.

0 hrs lol takes too much time. I just wash and wax.
