I dried it with a cloth and then applied a coat of finish which I hand buffed to a brilliant shine..
Then I washed each window carefully and then cleaned the inside, vacuuming the carpets and seats and cleaning the dash..

Altogether it took me about four hours.

When it was done my wife asked me to do her Honda. I got a bucket of soap and water, washed it with a sponge and sprayed it off..
Ten minutes later it was done...
