Shortest period of time for a clean car?

After my last regular car wash, I parked my Mini out on the street for no more than 2 minutes, just long enough to get a garage picture. When I go back to retrieve my car I find a bird has already found the windshield and left me a present. Just 2 minutes!

So my question is, can anyone beat that time as the shortest period of time for a clean car?

Yeah you win. For me, about a half hour a couple of weeks ago. I washed the car and then headed out on a road I didn't know was dirt til I got there!

I can do negative time as well...

Last year I started a wash and got a phone call in the middle of the job. When I came back out to finish the wash, I found a flock of birds in the tree above my car and 4 'presents' left on the glass and paintwork... only the panels I had already washed!

You would take a phone call and stop washing your MINI? Someone will be coming soon to take it back if this is the way you treat it.

No OCDetailer would ever stop in the middle of a wash.

At MOTD this year, I washed my car in the rain at least twice, then immediately drove on wet roads to muck it up...
