Detailed!

**PajHERoY** · March 27th, 2004 10:29 AM

Got my car about lunch time yesterday from Big Berts, fresh off from a detailing job. Vince/Black Magic was there for the release and great great job if I may say so.

I'm particularly very pleased with the engine detail, well, actually, i'm also pleased with the things they did... the interior, ceiling, door jambs, exterior we're all as if the car was in pristine/mint condition.

Oh and by the way, I availed their promo for the full detail.

Thanks theveed, blackmagic and more power to you guys!!!

btw, what's the recommended maintenance plan (detailing-wise) na for my ride? what're my next steps?

**theveed** · March 27th, 2004 12:08 PM

Hi Pherry,

Thanks for the visit, we're glad to satisfy your needs sa detail.

On the first day we just washed, removed the asphalt and clayed it. That's about it.

The second day, we did the engine, we worked on it from top and bottom, degreased and used a chrome/aluminum solution to clean your metal parts to prevent whitening of the aluminum. That took around 4-5hrs ata, then used a cleaning glaze to polish the painted parts and then waxed it afterwards with Eagle One. At the same time, we did the interior as well, started with the leather seats which took a while, and the carpets.

The third day, we continued with the interior and light degriming of the door jambs and hinges and started with the exterior. We used Menz Intensive Polish followed with AIO then Zaino. We buffed off the Zaino on the day you picked up the car so it had over 20hrs of curing. At night, we attempted to work with the underchassis, but we didn't push through with it since our lifter isn't suited for SUV lifting, so we had it underwashed instead and scrubbed it manually through "higa" method hehe.

Sorry walang pics, I didn't have my digicam with me.

As for maintenance, since it's white, your first line of defense is constant washing. Better if you can QD (quick detail) the car with a QD spray 2-3x a week. As for the interior, your best bet is vac at least weekly, then wipe the dash and stuff with a damp cloth as often as you can. The leather needs to be conditioned every 2-3 months or so, then cleaned 2x a year, of course, if you're the only one using it, clean and condition the driver seat more often, the rest can be left alone for more than 3 months.

The engine, brush it often with a paint brush, then if you have the time, just engine wash it every month or two, depending on the condition you have sa Cavite.

Sir Theveed,
Magkano po ang full detailing ng GSR? With discount please..
Thanks..

**kimpOy** · March 27th, 2004 05:14 PM

the best talaga sa bigberts,
partida hindi pa ako nagpunta sa diyan.

kapag personal ang approach kahit anong business sigurado yan, the best ang service.

also we've known theveed sa kotse days pa as master detailer na yan. from wax to peanut butter alam niyan.

si vince naman minsan ko lang nakausap sa tsikot EB pero akala mo ang tagal na naming magkaibigan.

thumbs up sa big berts, kapag sawa na ako sa off road, papa detail na ako he..he

bilib din talaga ako dyan....pero,

from wax to peanut butter alam niyan.

di ko ata alam yan?:D

**ssaloon** · March 27th, 2004 07:15 PM

shet.... nainggit ako. how long does it take for a full detail job? ilang days? what are your operating hours again? down yung website nyo eh. thanks!

**empy** · March 28th, 2004 06:22 AM

wow, a three day job....here in the US that would cost as much as a paint job!!

how much did you guys charge for all that, if you don't mind my asking?

**woodfire** · March 28th, 2004 11:32 AM

YUP, okay yung Big Berts. The thing is, Theveed and his partners are hands-on in managing the enterprise unlike some detailing shops that fully rely on their workers.

BTW, some guys in the BMWCarClubPhils are patronizing BigBerts already on a regular basis. I know these guys are finicky with their cars so only competent and knowledgeable detailers, like Big Berts, will do. In fact, Big Berts is far better than the BMW-Casa detailing if I may say so.

**OTEP** · March 28th, 2004 11:56 AM

Ako kahit dakilang tambay lang sa BigBert's, welcome pa din ako ni sir Theveed.

**PajHERoY** · March 29th, 2004 08:57 AM

thanks theveed for that very detailed blow-by-blow process that you did for the car. i'll try to get pics this weekend and i-post ko. sana it's still as clean as it left your shop hehe.

m54, ssaloon, it was actually a three and a half day job. brought it in first thing tuesday morning and got it noon of friday

woodfire, when i picked-up my car nung friday, there were 2 bmws being washed or detailed there.

malupit talaga nga ang service pag hands-on ang mga owners

pahabol questions.... ano nga pala yung AIO? and is Zaino the sealant? how often should i get it waxed?

tenks ulit

**Mr_Revo** · March 30th, 2004 05:59 PM

Mga bossing, saan po ang location ng BigBert's?

**Supierreman** · March 30th, 2004 07:39 PM

ako kahit carwash lang sulit dun! for a 10-20 peso difference sa ibang shops dun na ako sa big berts.. pulido pati carwash.

what I hate about other carwash shops yung ipupunas nila yung cloth sa lower part nung body na maputik tapos punas ulit sa upper part ng car. tsk tsk

Sa bigberts maayos ang gawa and trained talaga mga tauhan nya dun :D

Availed of the detailing promo din for my dad's pajero last december. itong summer mapadaan nga ulit pa interior detail ko CR-V ko :D

yung dating redline racing along araneta ave... malapit sa sm centerpoint

**theveed** · April 2nd, 2004 05:54 PM

Guys thanks for the kind words, pasensya na I'm out for a week coz my wife just gave birth...

Pherry: AIO po acrylic cleaner with acrlic sealant, Zaino naman pure synthetic. I used that combo to give you a hard base and a long lasting protection for white.

KSC: May full package po kami 3K lang lahat lahat na for a GSR. 2 days po gagawin.

Kimpoy: Hehe, off road and car care... Si Doc Philip lang ata gumagawa nun sa grupo nyo :P

Hens: Secret hehe...

SSaloon: Sorry po sa website, kauupdate lang at naglipat ako ng web server. Operating hours po namin 8-8 po daily. Pag full detail best to give us 2 days kasi kung 1 day mapapaspas unless na swertehin na ikaw lang customer for that day.

M54: Yup, sa US mga 2K+ na siguro sinigil sa ganyan coz we used to charge 40/hr. Hehe

Woodfire: Thanks to you and Manolet for your referrals and kind words

Otep: Hehe, anytime pre... pasensya na kung walang sopdrinks :P

Mr Revo: Please check out this link po. [urlhttp://tsikot.yehey.com/ads/adclick.php?bannerid=2&zoneid=1&source=&dest=http% 3A%2F%2Ftsikot.yehey.com%2Fforums%2Fshowthread.php %3Fs%3D%26threadid%3D8581[/url]

Thanks po ulit mga bossing.
