Car Wash

Ever since I got a new car, I always make sure to have it washed at a reputable place. My choice: Big Bert's.

The first time I needed to bring the car to Big Bert's, I went to their shop at the Ortigas Home Depot. After a couple of months, I started bringing my car to their other shop along Araneta Ave. in Quezon City, which was a nearer location from my house.

What I like about Big Bert's is the extra care that its washers put on each vehicle that they wash. They make sure that the car comes out spotless and clean. And you can also point out specific stains or dirts on the car that they will willingly rub out using a wax or rubbing compound.

I've also tried their waxing service (P500) after which my car comes out sparkingly clean and shiny!

The only bummer deal is whenever the rains come down as soon as you drive out of the carwash! Well, that's usually what happens so better get used to it.

I regularly treat my car to a car wash at least once a week, and a fullbody wax job at least every other month. This ensures that the car's paintjob will last longer.

My Ride

Here's a rare pic of me beside Civ, my 2009 Honda Civic 1.8S!

It's an automatic transmission version, so its not too much of a chore to drive it to the office everyday in EDSA traffic.

Other options I asked from the dealer include the following: rear back-up sensors, leatherette seatcovers, floor mattings, foglamps and ABS.

It's already been a year since I got this car, and I've taken it to many places outside Metro Manila: to Baguio; Subic; Clark; Bataan (Anvaya Cove); San Juan, Batangas; San Mateo, Rizal; among other places.

The family loves it!
