3 and a half is still a REALLY long time Sharp!

The ones who gasp at 3 1/2 hours will never understand the concept of car care, will they?
I've gotten Zainos application down to about 2 hours, but that includes time for it to dry/haze.
It takes me at least an hour and a half to wash and dry, but I'm nuts about hidden water producing drops on my clean car.
Do it right, or not at all.

Man oh man. You FORGOT about the wheels. How long to expunge the brake dust and keep it off?!! How many rags? How many different products? Do you buff or not buff? Do you clean your car in the buff?

ha ha ha
I prefer to clean my car in the buff...that way when the ladies turn their heads and see my beautiful car, they can also see my beautiful man-frame as well.
Glad you picked up on my humor.

i like liquid glass polish
A:

3.5 hours to wax a car is excessive. the comma threw me off.
i'm very good to my car and waxing takes a long time, but i don't think it takes quite that long. guess it depends on how long you let the wax sit before wiping it off.

I'll bet you never get to drive that car.
A:

hahahahahaha Seven ''You just said that someone who gasps at 3 1/2 hours doesn't understand car care? but you just said it takes you two hours. SO.......... WTF haha ;)''
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
A:

he said it takes him two... he didn't say he was gasping at it... what it takes him and what he thinks is excessive is two different things...
if i'm not in a hurry it takes me nearly 8 hours to wash, wax and detail my car... and this is without Zaino's long haze time... i plan on getting some soon (the full pro detail kit) so it's probably going to take me all weekend to complete my washing after i get the stuff...

yeah, but that's why I 'gasp' at 3 1/2 hours. It only takes me a couple hours as well. SO..............
That's why I commented.
A:

WTF is that? Thanks, that really cleared it up for me. Although it didn't degrade me at all, so you've wasted valuable time that you could have used cleaning your car.
Oh, I'm a master's student, so I don't read about see spot anything... this got way off track as usual.........

Zanioing you car is worth the time and effort.
2 to 3 hours sounds about right.
Your Z will look better than than the day you drove it off the lot!!!!
