Dear car owner
Please be careful where you are leaving parking your car

Ensure the above or beside , or the surrounding...that there is no one painting (splattering of paint ) or some guys servicing aircond.....

WATCH out for these guys....pictorial just to illustrate


I got a shock to find out what happend, after the acid splatted & corroded this car



pics after wash & clay


this paint is severely damaged, the spotted marks was sunken in, and corroded the clear coat



just pass a word around to all cars lovers

Wow..that's pretty unlucky but thanks for advise bro. Ermm...did u try Tar Remover? Maybe use a better Tar Remover which is from Meguiars? Worth a try though, it might work. I have tried to use Tar Removers on scratches before and it did work on few light scratches..

Hope it works though...

Another thing is that, never park under a tree which have a lot of birds lolz! Will be nicely decorated by them...

Do not park under a mango tree especially during its fruiting season as the juice from the mangoes is acidic, hence once it lands on the body of the car, it will 'mengakis' the paint

Anyone know how to DIY a spring stiffener? It is used in between the spring to make it more stiff... to improve braking and handling. I know splitfire is selling but too ex.... around S$80/pair.

For me, I wan to use it so that when going over a hump, my lowered ride wont hit the undercarriage so easily....
