Detailing a car at home can take anywhere from 2 to 10 hours, depending on several factors such as the size of the vehicle, the level of detailing required, and how clean the car is to begin with.

Here’s a breakdown of the time estimates based on different detailing tasks:

1. Basic Interior Detail: Approximately 2 hours.
2. Comprehensive Interior and Exterior Detail: This can take between 4 to 6 hours for a thorough job.
3. Exterior Detailing: Typically requires about 2 to 5 hours.
4. Full Detailing (including polishing and waxing): This can extend to 5 to 12 hours, especially if you are doing a deep clean or if the vehicle is larger, like a truck or SUV, which may take longer.

For regular maintenance, a smaller car might take around 4 hours, while larger vehicles could take 7 hours or more.

Tips for Efficient Car Detailing at Home:

• Preparation: Gather all your supplies beforehand to avoid interruptions.
• Work in Sections: Focus on one area at a time (e.g., interior, then exterior) to stay organized.
• Use Quality Products: Invest in good cleaning products to reduce the time spent scrubbing.
