    up tomorrow is a eddie bauer expedition...dark blue....



    process:

    wash

    clay

    rinse

    pg/rmg mix

    OC

    EX sealant or PS wax or liquid luster as a LSP



    interior:

    vacuum

    shampoo carpets (no extractor)

    clean/condition leather

    303 dash and plastics

    windows

    tires, trim, wheel well dressings....



    what is your estimated time....two people...one on the outside, one on the inside



    how long should this be taking....I have done one suburban in the past by myself and it took 11hours...same process

    My process looks to be a bit more extensive but in my shop two experienced detailers should get that done in closer to 4 hours.

    6 hours w/2, you could do it alone in 7 if you had a rotary.
