    Without falling asleep? Me and Tpgsr went 22 hours (we had a few 10 minute breaks and a 2 hour or so break between cars).



    Am I an autopian? :nixweiss



    edit: maybe it was more like 18-20? I don`t know, i`m confused now. Still, too long. :p

    after all of that detailing, Corey got to take a nap, i had to drive the expensive cars to the show and around the show. that was scary, all i wanted to do was sleep, and not crash. we started detailing at 9am, and finished at 6:30am the next day, then I went to the show and took a 2min. nap at around 2pm, then some guy woke me up to book an appt. (GRRRRR)



    and of course we had to break down the tent, clean up, then head back home 1.5 hours to rochester, where i promptly fell asleep and stayed that way for a very long time. Thanks again Corey. It was rough!

    I have worked about 15 hours a couple times. One time started at 1pm and finished at 5am. After I finished the truck went to Las Vegas for SEMA.

    Think the longest straight was, well, about 9 am to around 8 pm, factor in the half hour lunch break, so around 10 and a half hours, but that was JUST ON THE INTERIOR. Needless to say, the interior was dirty as heck and i went through 2 full bottles of straight woolite, not the mix mind you, 2 full bottles of woolite. Made probably 20 gallons of the mix. Took out the seats, painted the feet cause they were all rusty, got out stains, tried to get out all the dirt but couldnt get it all it was so ground it, removed a milk shake from the foam and fabric of the passenger seat (what a frickin mess that was). It was in BAD shape. Looks pretty dang good now though ( that is until the window was left open a quarter inch and we had a monsoon, soaked everything, both seats, had a puddle almost in the floor, soaked everything, from a quarter inch opening in drivers door, what a mess).



    All told, longest detailing straight was 10.5 hours, just on interior. AT that point i couldn`t even fathom starting the outside....
