I agree. I have never owned a car that was so easy to clean up. Although I have owned Minivans that don't get as much attention as they should.

For Tips see the special interest forum on Detailing 101-there is alot of info there.

Really? It takes me an hour just to wash my car and wheels and another 15 minutes to dry it. Then I have to apply 303 on all my plastic moldings, rubber moldings and tires. Then polish the glass. Takes me 2 hours once a week, but it's a labor of love.

i'd say it takes me about an hour. probably 20 min to wash the body and roof, 20 min to wash the wheels, and 20 min to dry and wipe down the inside.

the wheels are to me the most monotonous part, especially with the white s-lites.
