Yeah that's about right for me also if I do the exterior & interior.

And just think, the Z3 is pretty easy. It's pretty small and not too many tough spots to get too. For me the tough part is getting the hood JUST right, this often involves a couple of buffings....

After that the only mildy challenging part is getting the area around the Z3 emblem fully waxed but with no residue. I use a toothpick to get any excess from around the letters. I try to do that when Rose isn't looking!

PS Actually 8 hours does NOT include removing, washing & waxing the wheels. Add about 2 hours for that.

Just finished washing and waxing my Z.

Good God Almighty.

I was mentally picturing two, three hours max. Then I opened my zymol kit. 17 bottles of various perfumes, ointments, conditioners, wax for this part wax for that part, top cleaner, wheel cleaner, blah de blah de blah.

Eight hours later...

Criminy.

She's beautiful, expensive to maintain, takes forever to clean up, makes me smile, and is going to leave me in three years. Hmmmm. This sounds vaguely familiar.
