So go hang out at Fletcher Jones and enjoy the experience. Just don't enjoy it for 2 hours like some people do.

Hose the car down (1 minute). Very quickly, starting on the roof, wash the whole car at one time (10 minutes). Rinse it, using the open hose (no nozzle on it) starting from the top, so that the water sheets off of it (if you do it right, very little water is left on the car) (2 minutes). About 7 minutes to dry it, including drying the door jambs, etc.
That is approximate, I can do it faster if necessary, or take up to 30 minutes if I am going slowly.
I wax it around every 3-4 months, and I use various Meguire's products for that.

Sure 20 minutes to do that. Add vacuming, shaking out the mats, cleaning the windows inside and out , wiping the dust off the interior and detailing the wheels and tires. Now you are at 40 minutes plus. See, you can slave over your car for 40 minutes or sip a cappucino at FJ while sitting in a S600 listening to the stereo. I use only their best cars as private phone booths. Now if you really want to be productive, get a laptop with a high speed wireless modem and connect to the forum.
Or you can probably drop it off at lunch, walk across the street and have lunch and come back when you are done.

I had a CD changer installed (and had some minor work done) at Smythe European in San Jose. I got a:
* Free Latte, donuts
* Free Car Wash
* Free Volvo loaner car
It was great!
