It took the better part of a whole saturday to do my old BMW(god rest her soul ) It was probably a good 4-6 hours to do the car with the clay. I then proceeded to 3 step wax the entire car as well in the end I was probably in the drive for 10 hours.

It was well worth it though she looked dead sexy when I was done

The rover gets clay on it all off road the time but I have never done a clay blocking on her, hell I'm doing good if I rinse the mud off.

The first time is the longest. Took me about 3 hours to do the sides and hood of the disco. Took another 2 hours to do the roof...

But after the first time, it goes a lot quicker if you keep on it. Probably need to clay bar 3 times a year. I'll only do the entire treatment twice a year or so (clay bar and 3-step cleaning, polish, wax). But Tami does it a lot more often with the black vehicle. White is easy.

The clay bar is totally worth the time.

i've only done a spot job on certain panels with a clay bar, mostly my rear door and the tops of my other doors. I need to spend the time and do the whole rover next time i'm back home.
