Big Bert's Thread [ARCHIVED]

[impulzz]

sir based on the pics and your description... re upholstery na talaga
1. the stains on the sidings are set already, due to years of neglect. plus yung backboard deformed na, so papalitan na talga
2. the plastic panels are scratched and faded, this can be fixed by painting it.
3. also the dash and steering wheel, faded and cracked, repaint and re upholstery or find a surplus unit.
4. the headliner and carpet, if there are rust stains, these will not come out. re-up na din.

maybe other upholstery shops can give a lower quote than boy c.

Polish?
Glaze?
A good polish or glaze with moderate abbrasive?
A good polish or glaze with very light abbrasive?
A good polish or glaze with no abbrasives but also has good filling abilities?

i will try your suggestion, thank you so much for your input i gladly appreciate it

[seonadancing]

Sir Ttanong ko lang, can i go through the wash and paint protect procedure lang and not go through the whole Optiguard paint protection program? My car is 2 yrs old na. Thanks.

[mr_doods]

sir, aside from glaze, what other paint protection can i apply on a newly repainted surface. Thanks and god bless...

with today's weather curing time for newly painted cars will take longer due to rain. other than glaze to make it shine( no protection), there is nothing you can put on it. ilan months na po ba yung new paint?

[mr_doods]

Newly painted po, open kasi yung garage namin, so i'm looking for some protection that i could put on the car. Thanks!!!

open po both branches this Sept. 21

as for the squeaking wipers, it's either your wiper blades need to be changed or the windshield needs polishing to remove grime build-up.

ok thanks for the info. kakapalit ko lang nung rubbers just to isolate the problem. i guess grime build-up na nga. will just pass by for willie & co at ortigas on monday, thanks again!

[docbertus]

[impulzz]

about 4 hours.

Hi Big Bert,

Do you have a service to remove scratches (minor or even deep)?

I do not want to do a full paint job on my car (98 CRV) but I have some scratches that everyday gets quite irritating

How much for it? Can you guarantee the scratches removed completely?

Thanks!

swirls can easily be removed
deep scratches that have gone through the clear coat or even the base coat can't, the only solution will be repainting the panel.

no we don't guarantee complete removal of scratches. if you go after a deep scratch you'll end up with a patch or a panel that has clear coat almost gone. we will minimize the scratch but not completely.

sir i have a revo 99 the first diesel sport runner type where sadly i think the headlights are more prone to discoloration as compared to the later models, my problem now is even though i have a halogen bulb i have difficulty seeing whether raining or not and upon checking my head lenses are already hazy dull and discolored, a friend of mine suggested that i have it polished and based on reading some threads here, i know that you guys do glass polishing, can i have my lenses checked when i come back from bacolod to see if it can be polished to make ir clear again? or are these types of lenses sort of like the disposable type? and if you do polish head light lenses how much would the cost?

thanks big berts and more power

i'm not sure if the lens of the sport runner are made of plastic or glass, but if its made of plastic, like most cars now we can.

is this the same model as your's?

i'll ask the supervisors to check it if someone brings in a similar model

also can you post a pic of your headlight here?

Sir Bigberts, DiY kasi me, sa pagaaply po ba ng wax, ilang minutes ko po patatagalin, bago ko i-rub?? And ano po maganda brand ng wax na kahit umuulan, makintab at madali parin matuyo. Sakin kasi, napapansin ko, tuyo na sa ibang sasakyan na naulanan, sakin basa basa pa rin.

Sir Bigberts, DiY kasi me, sa pagaaply po ba ng wax, ilang minutes ko po patatagalin, bago ko i-rub?? And ano po maganda brand ng wax na kahit umuulan, makintab at madali parin matuyo. Sakin kasi, napapansin ko, tuyo na sa ibang sasakyan na naulanan, sakin basa basa pa rin.

most off the shelf waxes be it meg's, mom's or any brand are good. it's how you prep the surface before waxing that makes the difference.

with most waxes leave it on for 15mins, then buff to a shine.
