Detailing Shops Review

Anyone here who tried VIP Meguiar's in Fort or Shaw?

Thinking of getting a full detail with them, I'm concerned though that their full detailing service is just 5 hours compared to other places which take 3-5 days (but expensive). Is 5 hours enough to give a car a good full detail? I'm wondering how it compares to others.

5 hours is possible but you also have to consider other variables such as the condition of the paint and the size of the vehicle. For example you'll bring a Honda Jazz with a good paint condition, they could finish it within that 5 hour period. But if you'll bring an Expedition with a bad paint condition, for sure it would take longer time or even 1 day to finish it. Plus they are using machines and that would make the process more efficient, effective and fast as compared to doing it by hand. The very first time I fully detailed my pick up, it took me almost 7 to 8 hrs but everything was done by hand and I am not even a pro. For my Civic, about 6 hrs. How much more if I had a machine with me, for sure it would cut the time by 2 to 3 hrs less. This is just for the paint. But if you would include interior, glass, etc, it can't be done that fast and you really need to either return or leave your car.

Anyone tried SLICK2SHINE? Had a great experience with them for my Lancer Cedia. I told them what I want the finish to be on some of my cedia's aesthetic problems, then they showed me a demo if paano nila reremedyohan. They are honest on everything in regards to their service, unlike other shops na nagsasabing "yes sir, kaya yan, mawawala yan, and the likes. They will give you a background of what will the result be. Nagbibigay pa sila ng tips which regards to ibang d.i.y na pwedeng gawin.

I asked them for the time they'll finish the service, waited for hours then ayun may 30 minutes pang advance allowance tapos na yung full detail at nakabit na yung central locks galing din sa kanila. Bow ako sa quality ng service nila, napakintab talaga yung cedia ko, may nakasabay pa ako na Lancer EX, yung new model, nagpapaint protect.

The owner implements quality check sa service ng mga tao niya. On my interior it just restored on its true beige color. Acid rain stains disapperead on the wind shield. Also the best part was the waterless engine detail, i'm amazed how they have done it, under the hood looks like new.

The best part also, they dont give or ask hidden charges, what i paid is what is posted in their site, pinameryenda ko na lang yung tao nya, para may lakas magdetail ng cedia ko.

To summarize my novela, thanks to SLICK2SHINE. Excellent quality and service. Hindi nasayang ang pagpunta ko sa shop niyo. Ni-recommend ko na rin kayo sa mga family and friends ko.
