Does car detailing take long?

I’m hoping to get my car detailed before this weekend, but I don’t if I have time. On average, how long should a car detailing take?

A clean car is a perfect start to any weekend. In general, it takes between 3 to 5 hours to detail an average vehicle. Of course, this time can vary based on the size of your vehicle and
how dirty it is
.
While that may seem long, most car detailing will include a thorough wash of both your interior and exterior. If you’d like to save a little time, you can opt for a basic package without shampoo or wax services. That said, your best option may be to drop off your car earlier in the day and pick it up when you can.
