A mate of mine who was a successful motor trader in the UK and has now made a fortune in NZ, reckoned that it took one man two days to properly prepare a car. A day on the exterior and a day on the interior.

Easily a day, a lad round the back from me takes the wheels off, cleans the backs of them, cleans the brakes, then removes the innner wheel arch and cleans behind that.

Seats out, carpets out, hang the carpets vertically, spray with dilute TFR and jetwash. The amount of crap that comes out is amazing. Cotton buds in the vents is another.

One splash in a muddy puddle and it's back to the cleaners 
Very impressive stuff, but it is very OTT. But if you want to waste your time and money.........
