Ziebart Diamond Gloss or Big Bert's Paint Protection Program?

[x_jason_x]

Okay lang ba kahit after 1-2 month upon receiving the car bago ipaOPTIGUARD? Gusto ko kasi muna makuha un plate ng car.

[Erwin-G7]

up.. ask ko din po kung ok yung optiguard kahit bago palang

Either way will work - even from the dealer, "new car paint" is rarely actually new - it's been in transit, or sitting in the dealer's lot, for a while already. You can actually check the manufacture date of the car in a sticker, usually found in the driver's side door frame area. Additionally, factory paint is cured under hot temperatures, and so is safe to wax or seal even out of the factory.

Dont ever ever go to ziebart. Nagpa hilamos ako jan pero tumawag sila sakin sabi ayaw na mag start nung kotse ko. Tapos sira daw yung starter solenoid. Nung pinuntahan ng wife ko kinalas na yung solenoid at baklas baklas ung sasakyan. Parang kinahoy eh nde ko nmn pinapaayos sa knila dahil alaga un da casa. Kakatawa pa nung tinanong ng wife ko ung gumagawa, sabi hinde daw cia employee ng ziebart at hinugot lng daw pra baklasin ung sasakyan ko. Anak ng tinapa baka tambay lang yun sa kanto ah. Then nagreklamo ko sa facebook account nila at talagang na hb ako. Aba bigla tumawag ang Ziebart at bigla sinabi gumana na daw. Mga kawatan diyan sa ziebart. Wag n wag kayo pumunta diyan. Baka kinakahoy na mga piyesa nyo ng hinde nyo alam.

Aius na aius ang Optiguard ng BB ahh..

up ko din sila! kudos nagpaayos kami ng Black navara sa BB BF Pque. Ok na ok. Kahit ung madikit na mighty bond scratch ay naaius at natangal nila. Parang bago ulit ung Pick up nung natapos.. Halos over night lang ok na kaagad ehh.

Next service na kukunin ko sakanila ay ung engine detailing nila. Medyo madumi na at makapal na alikabok ng radiator at ng buong engine bay ko ehh.

Thanks big Bert's!

Ung sa Pulse Creative parang O.K. din. Ilang layers ng protection lagay nila. 7 Steps tawag nila. Top coat, parang same lang sa BB. Carlack.

Got Ziebart's Diamond Gloss at half the price almost two weeks ago. Diamond Gloss is OK -- really shiny. They forbid you to use car shampoo and wax. Not sure if QD is fine. Ziebart staff are nice people and very accommodating. Their supervisors are also very pleasant, far from the type I had to deal with once from the other detailing shop.

Just completed the Big Bert's BF package Optiguard paint sealing and the final detailing work on my vehicle. Hindi ako na "wow". In a scale of 1 to 10, my rating is only a 4. Their application of "tire black" was not thorough. When I checked on the tires this morning, there were areas missed in "tire black" application. I have to redo it myself. I was offered to renew the package at a 20% discount, but I feel it is not worth it. The service package is over rated and hyped up. I hope BB will take this in a constructive manner to improve their service and increase their business. As of now I cant recommend them to my friends.

Napansin ko sa ortigas, Iba ang trabaho ng mga bb boys kapag wala boss nila. Try mo magpagawa na nandun yun boss and see the huge difference.

Also, parang wala naman pinagkaiba yun last session which is full detail dapat vs 1st three na maintenance lang... Not also recommending to friends.

Mga sirs, female car owner po ako! Ask ko lang po may review na po ba kayo sa WaxSpot's OptiCoat? I am torn between BB's Optiguard - Ziebart's Diamond Gloss and WaxSpot's Opticoat. Got our SUV last Dec 6. Plan ko magpa-paint protection sana. Advisable ba na magpaint protect agad? Can you at least give me some idea kung ano ano po ang pinagkaiba ng mga nabanggit kong Car Paint Protection package? Baka naman po kasi overhyped ang selling strategy ng mga detailing shop and ayokong magkaroon ng regrets afterwards.

Thanks in advance po sa mga sasagot! God bless!

Hey there,

Advisable ba na magpaint protect agad?
Yes

There's a lot of differences between the three programs. Big Bert's Optiguard package is a year-round quarterly regimen program while the other two (Ziebart's Diamond Gloss and Waxspot's Opticoat) are one-off application of a very durable paint protection layer.

If you plan on maintaining your car regularly, I will highly recommend you enroll yourself sa Big Bert's Optiguard program. What it gives you is a quarterly detailing regimen that paint corrects (aka removes scratches and swirls) and protects them afterwards. Problem is, I'm not much of a fan of tying myself down sa isang detailing shop lang. Paminsan makakalimutan mo na may "regimen" ka and those are lost sessions na.

The Ziebart and Waxspot is essentially a one-off year-long protection program. However, the year-long isn't really 365 days long. Durability is still dependent on the amount of abuse it gets. The more abuse, the shorter the durability. As a one-off product, Ziebart uses a very durable paint sealant while Waxspot's Optimum Opticoat uses a clearcoat "top-up".. between the two, the Opticoat would be a better bet as additional layers of clearcoat will be more durable than even the best paint sealants there is.

The problem with this is that.. even if it protects your paint for a long time, your car will accumulate scratches in less than a quarter hence by the 6th month or so, you'll have a large amount of scratches, swirl marks, and other blemishes on your paint surface that is ugly to look at.

---

The best program for me is simply a 1-2 2-step detailing and one 3-step detailing session every year. I then try to maintain the protection by waxing once the previous wax comes off. There's a lot of abundant knowledge here in the Auto Paint section, I would suggest you take time to read on the articles.

Anyone here tried the german paint protection from PCI? one time application din siya for brand new cars. planning to get this 1800 lang e competitive ung price.

Pag nag pa paint protect ka ba pde ka pa din mag step 3 wax (non abrasive waxes)? like nano gloss? so that it will become the sacrificial layer and mas tumagal ung paint protection? Thanks!!

Alamin mo muna what it is. There's no such thing as a one-time application for the entire lifespan of a car.

Should be.
