Brothers - Ano ba maganda pang linis sa mga plastic yung kulay color black sa pintuan sa labas? Meron kasing visible na swirl eh.. Bago pa naman yung city ko hehehe.. Pero hindi naman gasgas..

you can use Mom's Naturally Black, apply twice or thrice to see improvement.

sir theveed, matatapos na po next week ang wash over paint ng kotse ko. nagba-buff po ba kayo ng newly painted car at big berts (wash over using nippon acrylic paint)? balak ko po kasi ipa-buff uli sa inyo para maganda. If yes, how much po. btw, my car is 1995 toyota corolla...

i would suggest you have it buffed by the paint shop since paint defects can come out during the buffing process. That way you can have them do the back job. Having it done outside of the paintshop would give them reason not to honor back jobs.

Thank you very much, sir impulzz for your reply ... just a follow up question sir, after the painting process how many days shall i wait bago po ipa-buff? after buffing can i apply the 3m IHG or do i have to wait for a specfic period of time before applying it.

paint shops usually ask you to go back after 1 month. orange peel usually appears within this time frame.

as for the hand glaze you can apply it anytime, but within 2 to 3 months(depending on the weather) do not apply any wax or sealant to let the paint cure properly.

sir impulzz, after a month pa pala pwede i-buff ang new car paint. tama po ba sir? kasi po sa ibang paint shop after a week balik ka, buff nila (rubbing/bule) then apply na po ng wax.

sir impulzz, maraming salamat po sa walang sawang pagsagot sa aming mga katanungan dito. mabuhay po kayo, sir!!!

after repainting, the painter wet sands the paint then buffs it to a gloss, that's within the week after painting and its part of the scope of work of repainting.

but what is not recommended is waxing the car at once, you have to let the paint dry and "breath out" the solvents, waxing it at once will prevent this and cause blurring or hazing of the paint.

well taken, sir impulzz. again thank you very much especially for your patience. more power to you, sir! GOD Bless!

hello chuckie_bhoi,

[SIZE=2]try using the least aggressive approach and work your way up to more aggressive measures. [/SIZE]use clay then cleaner wax first if it doesn't do the job use polish.

Good day to Big Bert's team,

May I know if there are plans for you to commercially sell Liquid Shine again? I used to buy it from BB Araneta but I heard lately that you are no longer selling it.

LS did wonders to my rides and I am hoping to get hold of some new stocks.

Are there other ways and means that i can purchase liquid shine?

Need help

thanks sirs!

sir impulzz, nakabili po ako yesterday ng Zwipes microfiber cleaning cloth, 90,000 fibers per square inch, 12" x 16" 3 pieces * P149.50 and zwipes automotive drying 1 piece towel 24" x 24" * P269.75. nang binuksan ko na sa bahay napansin ko ang label sa towel na 80% polyester and 20% nylon ( hindi po ba dapat cotton ang material ng pangpunas sa car finish?). Hindi kaya nagka scratch and new paint ko? ok lang din po ba ang 3M na chamois pangpunas sa car?

microfibers are really made of polyester and nylon (polyamide). but these fibers are woven so fine. that they are safe for your paint. what will cause it to scratch the paint is the dust or dirt that is picked up by the MF cloth, so when buffing you have to use MF towels with more nap. and do not apply too much pressure on the towel.

as for the 3m chamois cloth i use it too on my car along with my jellyblade. i use one for upper parts and another for the lower parts.

[Firefox]

once again, thanks for the reply sir impulzz... are you selling MF at big bert's? what brand, how much, size and what are the composition or materials (%polyester, % nylon). how about chamois?

thank you for the reply sir impulzz.. i don't have the clay bar and the cleaner wax you've mentioned.. i just have steps 2 and 3 (mother's).. I guess i have to bring my car to your araneta branch... could you pm me an estimate? thanks

After a long week of daily rainfall, a friend and I had our relatively new FD Civics undergo Optiguard at BB's Ortigas earlier today. Damn, got there at around 8AM and there were already 10 or so cars waiting ... seems a lot of people didn't get to wash their cars because of the rains. Hahaha.

Heard someone tried to break into the shop?! Hope everything was in order.

1 hour wait, and 2 hours for the first actual Optiguard session. Had fun chatting with the other car owners. Saw some nice rides from the peeps at ADB. Breakfast at Jay-J's. All in all, not a bad way to pass a Sunday morning.

I was at BB Araneta last fri. for my side mirror etching. While waiting for Vince nakinood muna ko ng NBA finals. thanks to Vince for the neat and clear job

[Onyl Ryan]

XTO,
Nagpaschedule ka ba kay Vince bro?
Last time kasi na punta ko sa Kabilang Branch lang daw..
Pa PM naman CP number ni Vince for my schedule din..
Thanks!

[automatic]

our car just underwent the 1st session of big bert's optiguard program.

question, to maintain the shine caused by the sealant, do i just need to wash the car or do i need to wax it also? what specific wax (brand and type) do i need? is the step 3 waxes from mother's or meguiar's suitable or will those strip off the sealant?

thanks.
