What's that black piece of rubber by the handle of the front door? I've seen it on a lot of cars but have no idea what it is for..

black piece of rubber by the handle of the front door?

It is for the protection of door side as when u open in tight places it does not hit the other side and paint is not scratched.

Ahan. Pichle doors ka koi scene ni?

How did I go about removing overspray from my car? There's not much, but most of it is on the hood since my car was parked near building where the front gate was being painted. I had no idea paint could adhere to my car. Car is black and overspray is white.

You can remove minor paint overspray by claying it. You will have to follow up with either compound + polish steps, or going through with a One step polish.

I don't have any machine polisher with me at the moment, so would a hand polish do the job?

I had been using 10 liter buckets for my 2BM, which is not large enough to wash a car. So I had to refill with water half way through.

There are 2 problems with this approach. One, it isn't very efficient, and secondly, it used to waste a lot of shampoo, as I had to pour the shampoo everytime, I filled it up with water, or it would be very diluted.

Enter 20 liter buckets

I bought these 20 liter buckets, that Matt Moreman highly recommends. Although, I use the 2 Bucket Method (2BM), I got 3 buckets. One for wash shampoo, one for rinse and one for pads and brushes for tires.

I washed them thoroughly before I get to play with them over the weekend.

The next step is to get Grit Guards for them. And hopefully, at some stage, I will try to get dollies for them.

Doesn't hurt to try.

I went to Mazda showroom 2 days back for business. And afterwards, I had the whole showroom to myself.

The gloss and depth on this MX-5 in Soul Red really caught my eye and is phenomenal.

Hey Guys!

I'm thinking about going with CarPro CQuartz Leather for my upcoming Grande's leather and interior protection. The protection is supposed to be for upto 2 years. Is that recommended?

Im not a class coat guy but this product does seem pretty useful if it works that well.

A lot of people use it and love it. It offers a fairly long term protection to your leather materials. If you don't have time to look after it yourself, it's a good option.

Guys bike with triple sawari on my left tried to do quick overtake lost control and hit my car barely. But left these strange crease type dents. Paint work 100 percent ok. But these dents.
Saw many videos of Paintless dent removal technique on YouTube. Those guys remove these type of dents like nothing happened.
Anyone knows anyone who is doing this type of Paintless dent removal denter.

[azfarnb]
