Just wondering if anyone on here uses it. I myself have one. For those that do, I was just wondering how long does it take you to wash a sedan? Any tricks cleaning exterior/interior you would like to share?
 
I've had mine for a month now, I like it and wouldn't change back to pressure washer method.



A moderately dirty sedan with an overcast day, and several dead/smashed bugs takes me about 15-20 mins wash, thats just 1 person. Now, I have had a muddy, big dually truck and it was a pain in the rear because there was a lot of mud...everywhere and it took 2 of us about 1 1/2 hrs to wash the outside, with only 1 gun going.....it was horrible.



I'm trying to figure out a system, and once I figure that out...I think things will go smoother.
 
15-20mins is pretty good, does that include wheels/ wheel wells and door jams? - like we talked about in the other thread I'm still learning best practices with my Optima; amazingly versatile machine, but seems like a bit of a learning curve on the exterior to get it how you want.
 
I'm trying to get my wash done in 20 minutes. Stuck at 30. It takes me 45 min to wash, vac, wipe down and windows on a sedan by myself and I still think I can do better. I'm toying with blowing half the car down with wet steam to rid heavy salt/dirt then go over with dry steam and wipe or I wipe half car with ONR then dry steam/wipe. I like this method much better than a plain old ONR wash.
