Ok here's the breakdown:

1. ONR (optimum no rinse) - 15 mins (I never let the car go longer than one week between ONR washes - so it makes cleaning a breeze)
2. Random Orbital with One Step polish/sealant - 45 - 60 mins. (depending if I find something I need to fuss over)

Notice I skipped claying - I only clay ONCE a year...

Now a FULL detail that includes the interior with lexol leather conditioner, vacuum, nooks and crannies - add another 2 hours

Why clay only once a year? If you One Step anytime before your annual clay, I think you're sealing in road grime! My $.02

because I have no time to do anything else... But again not a concourse car - a daily driver for me. And to my casual observation eyes, car looks good enough for me
