You could. I started mine in the late afternoon and needed to finish the
next morning.   And no, I did not do all the detailed cleaning stuff that
others have done but I did do some.  it's always a balance of doing what I
can and getting the car back on the road as I need to go back to work on
Mondays.

Thanks,
