wow thats sum hardcore cleaning, how long does all that take you? and is it vital to do all those steps? the claying is sumthing ive been told will really help with my broom yellow gt2? Would it be ok just to shampoo, clay, then polish the car? or do u reccomend waxing it too? lol i know i sounding lazy but it normally takes me 2-3 hours alone wen i shampoo and wax!! lol
best to wax really so that the paintwork is sealed, but if you use a polish like AG super resin polish then you will be ok if you do it every month or so.
tbh, this thread only covers half of it, but if i was to break down time spent:
wheels: 10 mins
snow foam: 10 mins
Shampoo: 20 mins
Claying: 60mins
Rewash: 10mins
Polish by hand: 120mins
Polish by machine: depends on correction, but average 240 mins
Wax/ LSP: 30 mins
so depending on how im polishing, between 4hrs 10mins and 6hrs 30mins
a normal weekend wash only takes me about 45mins though
