    3-4 hours per stage sounds about right for me

    I usually take 2-3 days depending on the condition of the vehicle.

    Protection Detail ( wash,clay,paintwork cleanser, wax) starts at $295. Each stage of polishing adds $300 - $400 depending on its size.

    I spend about 15 hours total on correction. Wash and clay takes me 4 hours (I get the car really clean!) Then, the 15 hours, then about 3 hours to cleaner fluid and wax properly making sure to cover every inch correctly! total 22-25 hours

    Atleast that for a full correction. Most times much more.

    When working SIP, time will depend if it's being used for the initial defect correction step or as a follow up to a compounding step. Regardless, it takes me a minimum of 4-5 hours to properly break it down over a medium sized vehicle.
