Wash Your Car, Boy!

Ever since I got the Civic, I've been a little bit OC about keeping it neat and clean. I wasn't exactly like that with my previous car, although I did treat that old Lancer to a regular high-powered car wash every now and then. But with the Civic, I almost always have to have it washed more than once a week, and treated to a high-definition wax job at least once a month.

And my current car wash of choice is Hillsborough Car Spa and Detailers, along Jupiter Street, in Bel-Air, Makati. I've been taking the Civic here regularly ever since I discovered it from a friend early this year. They do a pretty good job with washing and making sure the car is squeaky clean after.

The place is usually busy on weekend mornings, so I bring my car there on the off-hours, usually weekday afternoons or during my lunch break. They've got a high-end clientele that you can tell from the various exotic car models that frequent the place. I realize that they must really do a good job for the owners of these cars to leave their prized possessions here to be detailed.

And the prices are pretty reasonable. Premium wash including vacuum and tire black is P200 (P150 without the vacuum). If you have it waxed, just add P250 more. I've also tried out their new high-definition car wax (P1,200) and this extends the sheen and shine of my car by a couple more days between washing. But they offer more services than the usual, like total paint makeover, Show Car Waxing, Interior detailing, glass watermark removal and engine detailing, among others. You can actually download a copy of their pricelist from the website.

The Hillsborough boys also do a fast job of it, ensuring that you're in and out in no time at all.

Hillsborough is also present in the Eastwood area, so you can try it out there if that is nearer to you. Keep updated with the latest news from Hillsborough by adding their Facebook page. Just search for their name and you'll get there!

In the meantime, safe driving to all!
