I have a couple of questions about tire pressure issues: 1) How often do you need to pump your tire in order to meet factory specification? 2) Approximately how much of air pressure in terms of PSI (or kPa) drop per month? 3) A difference in environment temperature of 1 degree celcius...

Hi all, I have some very minor water mark on the front windscreen. Is it OK if I use PC with MG W-8006 Polishing Pad to apply #83 DACP on it for water mark removal? Will it mar the glass? Thanks!

Do you experience wheel flange (on the inner side) being scratched/blemished during tyre mounting process? If yes, does this problem bother you? Thanks.

Hi fellow Autopians, for those who have changed to aftermarket rims, do you all install hub centric rings? Any of you do not experience steering vibrations with no hub centric rings installed? Thanks.

Autopian Drivers are mostly careful drivers. What do you think? :cool:

Any of you using matte finish wheel? How about rough surface type of wheel? I know for clearcoated wheel, I maintain it the same way as maintaining the body paint. If I ever polish the matte finish/rough surface wheel, will I make the surface become damaged (glossier)? How do I clay rough...

Usually after rain, there will be a few large water beads on the hood, roof and boot. If I don't wash and dry the car, can I use cloth to blot those large water beads to dry? The reason I want to remove those water beads is to prevent water spots after it dries up. Please input your comment, thanks!

I'm not too sure whether Autopians are facing this problem, but I found out that the front part of the engine bonnet near the grille is easily dented if someone just press the bonnet (hood) down to close it. My new car came along with two dents on it :angry. I always lift the bonnet at around...

Hi, my friend has just got his old Bimmer painted at a bodyshop. Upon receiving, I noticed that the paint work doesn't really look good. From the object reflection, I could see that the paint is uneven, sort of like wavy. May I know what causes this? How can this be solved? Thanks!

1) New car with perfect body condition and great shine. 2) Old car with several dents here and there, old parts restored, usual wear and tear but with perfect shine.

Hi guys, I really need your help to clarify this. My car is 4 months old and from the day I receive this new car, I haven't really observed the car hood under low lighting condition (at least it looks perfect to me) until just now, when I was back home at night, unfortunately, I saw a very very...

I just found out there are 3 tiny dust particle inside the crystal headlamp lens. Is it common to have this kind of problem? How do I overcome this? The dust particle is at the edge which cannot be directly accessed.

I picked up this product last weekend, and managed to use it on my mom's 3 year old car clear coated alloy wheel. Usually I don't use any wheel cleaner to wash the rim, but only use regular car shampoo (CarPlan Triple Wax). Today I tried it on the wheels, and following the instruction, I rinsed...

1) Dismantled your door panels? 2) Removed your dashboard? I have tried to remove my door panels a couple of times, and now the door clips seem to be loose and causing rattling noise. Do you have the same problem?

Yesterday I drove out to a stretch of road. It was right after a big downpour. I encountered a small stretch of road covered with thick mud evenly. To prevent splatter, I moved my car very slowly, but it still ended up some splatter. However, things are not so easy...the moment I came out from...

I notice my friends/colleagues scuffed my plastic door steps recently. Does anyone here experience the same thing? I think it's due to the friction between sand on their shoes and the plastic door steps. Is there anyway to overcome this problem? Or it is part of the wear and tear process?

Argh! I've been trying very hard to avoid stonechips on my brand new Getz by not driving behind the trucks, etc. And after a 200km weekend trip, I found out a few minor stonechips on my windscreen and headlamp. How you guys minimise the probability of getting stonechips?

My dad's silver colour car got a small spot of yellow colour tree sap today. I tried to clay it away but the colour is still there. Later, I tried to use Scratch-X to remove the colour and blemish, it's still there! Is it because the yellow sap has gone below the paint?

As usual, I always wash the rims first before washing the car body. Then, I proceed to wipe dry the car body and finally the rims. I don't know why, my set of clearcoated wheels easily get etched by water spots. This problem doesn't happen on my car paint. I've tried using Scratch-X to remove...

Hi guys, does your side mirror vibrate when going through rough road surface or playing heavy bass music? Thanks...:bounce
