I washed the H2 for the first time this weekend.
What a pain. This thing has allot of areas that are hard to get at and hold water. I also detailed the engine compartment. Drove it around the block and it still dripped for and hour. Don't get me wrong I enjoy washing my vehicles. I'm just going to learn all the little areas that require more attention.
Anybody else wash there H2, themselves or do you have it done?

I wash my H2 myself. It takes me about 2 hours to wash it and dry it. i normally don't use soap except for extra dirty parts (like from squashed bugs), and I always dry it with a chamois. Also, use a 4 ft. stepladder to reach the middle of the roof.  |

I finally got lucky and found a hand car wash place that gets me in and out in about 30 minutes, costs me $25, and they do damn-near as good a job as I do (and I am SUPER meticulous).

I agree with Dan. About 45 mins with washing and spray wax. When I do a wash with a regular wax job it takes about 1 1/2 hours. |

I would not think about trying to do it myself. Too much time involved and time is money

I thought I was the only one that didn't drive his H2 in the rain! Glad there's other people out there beside me.

Wash and spray wax (between normal waxings) in about 45 minutes. It goes quick once you get the hang of it.
Oh, and skip the roof. |

I wash my Hummer by hand. For drying I use a California Water Blade, which takes all the water off fast.

I have to believe that would be like letting those little fund-raising teenagers wash it, where the wash cloth/sponge goes straight from the wheels/tires to the paint, with a few drops onto the pavement in between for good measure.  Not to mention not hosing it down well before washing, to get all the grit off. |

The only problem is when I get it dirty and wet, I do it right. Then it's time to take it to the dealer for the $90 special. Top to bottom, inside and out.
