    Default Recommended Detailers (light scratches)

    I personally (usually it's a driver) washed my Fiesta yesterday and I noticed light scratches on the car. I want to get the car detailed to get rid of the scratches before I start waxing the car myself.

    Could you guys suggest a good detailing shop? I'm from BF Paranaque but I don't mind going a little out of my way if it means better service. There's a Big Bert's near me, would they be able to get rid of the scratches/discolouration? How much should I expect to pay?

    And for maintenance, since I'll be waxing the car myself please suggest a good durable wax.

    Would appreciate any help, thank you!

    I've also heard good things about Pulse Creative, would it be better to just get my car home serviced by them?

    Go to Big Berts Sucat, panalo dun. Natanggal nila yung scratch sa Tucson ko.

    If you do get rid of the scratches, get rid of the source which is probably the washing methods of your driver. Invest in the proper washing materials (wash mits, car shampoo, microfibre towels) and learn the proper washing procedures. Coupled with waxing, this will keep your car nice and scratches minimal.

    Scratches is normal in the lifetime of your paint so don't fret over it. But I'd take the advice of the post above this in trying to improve your washing method. Because normal drivers aren't really trained to be "alaga" on the paint. Water + chamois is what most do and that will eventually lead to tons of spider swirls.

    Since malapit na Big Berts sa inyo, might as well avail of their services (Price list is accessible here: Pricelist - BigBert's! Professional Detailers). In eliminating the light scratches, you'll be needing a light polish lang. Alternatively, if it's pretty light, you can use a glaze to simple conceal them then top it with your favorite LSP afterwards.

    As for the wax, if you'll be applying it yourself, I'd suggest just two brands: Collinite 845 (1month) and OCW (2 weeks). Both of them are back and hand friendly

    Where can you get Collinite and OCW waxes? How much are they? And what does OCW stand for?
