It takes me about 1 1/2 hours but I have RO water.Waxing takes me several days because I do a little at a time each day.

It takes me about 3-4 hours, but I take my time and clean every thing also use de-ionized water at the barn, waxing I do like Jack one side one day etc, When on the road I usually line up a wash. These buses are to beautiful to be dirty! I do not like the waterless cleaners, they will scratch clear coat and chrome, what do the rest of you guys use for soap to wash with? Gary

also use de-ionized water at the barn

HOw do you de-ionize the water? What does that do for you? Thanks!

De ionized water is a charged bead tank which removes all mineral particles from the water. There are several vendors who one can purchase these tanks. I use a Turtle Wax Auto washing soap.

I have been using this http://www.crspotless.com/ for over a year now and love it. My bus always dried spotty before using the de ionized water unless I hand dried it. Now it is pretty much spot free without all the drying. Saves a lot of time.

I am using Griot's de-ionizing tank system to wash my rig. With a 14" truck washing brush head and super lightweight telescoping handle, I can wash the whole thing in about an hour. I use a telescoping water wand with adjustable spray head too. This lets me cascade water from above rather than shoot water up at the bus with a normal hose nozzle. No drying required. I spend another 30 minutes getting the really tough bugs off of the front and use a clay bar on the windshields with Griot's Speed Shine as a lubricant. 1.5 hours if no lolly-gagging and she looks amazing. With the de-ionozed water I can wash in direct sun and get NO spots. It is awesome. Replacement resin for the tank only cost $85. Resin life depends on how much water you use and how hard your water is to start with.

Considering a visit from the mobile wash guy at the race track usually runs $100 and leaves me full of spots, my home system is awesome.
