4 hours to wash a car seems excessive.

I do it in 20 minutes, but I'm not detailing... just washing with a big hose brush thing.

In fact it takes me less time than driving to the carwash and back, and possibly having to wait.

Maybe I should've said "cleaning". Camping/offroading, it gets pretty grimy both inside and out. Hand carwashes here do the outside clean/wipe and then an interior clean (vacuum, wipe, etc). I tried to replicate it, but never to their quality.
