How long would it take to have a "full detail" for a Toyota Camry, year 2000 model?

--specifically this: "All passenger cars (up to 2.3 liters) full detail (Interior, Exterior and Engine Detail) gets a flat rate of P3,000 only!!! (Regular Price - 3700 up) "

Would 6 hours be enough? If not, what exactly can be done in 6 hours? ... exterior only perhaps?

The car's paint's condition: swirl, swirl, more swirls.

Having the car tuned-up on Thursday, it's coding on Friday and the event where the car has to be oh so shiney is on Saturday.

Thanks

in 6 hours we can do the engine and the exterior. but for the interior it would take a whole day (for lite grime) or even longer if the interior is in bad shape.

you can leave the car thursday night para pag pasok ng friday your car will be the first to be serviced, just call in advance so we will wait for you.

blackmagic,
how much po for wash, clay and seal package for my civic?

[fre]

Is it advisable to paint seal a black colored car or should I just stick to waxing? If yes, how much/long would it take for an xtrail?

Also, whats the diffrence between waxing/sealing? If i have my car paint sealed does that mean that I dont have to wax it anymore? tnx.

[BlackMagic]

Sealing and waxing are both for protection of the paint. They differ only in the stuff used and the protection they offer. Sealants are mostly synthetic while waxes are based mostly on oils. The main difference would be durability and subjective gloss. If you wax often, then you may not require a sealant process. But even if you do wax weekly or whatever, some people prefer the look of sealants over waxes.

One addition is that sealants usally attract less dust than waxes.

Since sealants and waxes are both paint protecting products, they are essentially the same with the exceptions mentioned above. But both require periodic reapplication but sealants require less frequent applications.

[falken]

BlackMagic, question lang, after detailing, kailan uli yung reapplication? 6 mos. or 1 year?

[BlackMagic]

Reapplication is highly dependent on how the car is used. Wax only lasts 1-4 weeks at the most, sealants may last from 2weeks to 3months depending on type and application method. But there's no such thing as once a year or even half a year thing if you use the car.

All marketing labels claim the same thing, up to x months. Up to means anything between 1 day to the actual longevity posted... If you dont use the car at all and it's always covered, your P120 Turtle wax will last you over 6 months easy.

It all depends on how you take care of your car.

It's exactly the same as your own body, it's like asking a surgeon: After I get a heart transplant will I not get a stroke ever? It depends if you take care of it...Same thing lang.

[BlackMagic]

Also, refer to the first page of this thread for more info about sealants adn waxes.

[falken]

Thanks for the info.

Thanks BlackMagic.

How much/how long would paint sealant cost for Xtrail and who do i look for at Big Berts?

[BlackMagic]

Fre,
Paint sealant for a new Xtrail would cost P1000. It includes:
- Car wash
- vacuum
- Tire dressing
- Light engine cleaning
- light interior dusting
- Claying
- Acrylic pre sealer and paint cleaner
- Acrylic high gloss sealant

Whole process usually takes 2-3 hrs to finish.

You may look for Vince (daily except Wed) or Bert (Wed). It would be appreciated if you could call a day or two prior to the appointment for us to reserve slots accordingly.
Thank you very much sir.
