Siuyi, what you testing?

My side here no highway mix twisty road to play one only have these....not very long stretch but it's fun and deserted.

If you want to just let the vapor out just let the bonnet stay open, pull out the signal bulb socket and let it air dry.

If you want to open the headlights You will need to heat the sealant on the headlights and pry open it section by section. Then pry open it with a flat screw driver and buy new sealant. Scarp the old sealant off cleanly and use fine sandpaper to sand the sealant area so it's clean before apply new sealant.

Here's a pic of the front end taken off from my car and I think you need to remove front bumper to loose the headlights assembly, the bumper very easy to take off one. Just screws and clips....kacang putih stuff...

Me not sifu, me newbie.....the headlights I opened up was from my 206 not the FLX but method is the same. If you notice I wrap the resealed headlights with stretch film tightly is to avoid dust getting into the headlights when the sealant cure. The stretch film when wrap very tightly around the headlights act as a pressure to press the sealant to make sure the seal is nice and even. I left the headlights for 2 days then only open up the film.

ECU = Engine Control Unit
TCU = Transmission Control Unit

Remap ECU and TCU means you extract the map from the ECU then insert a modified mapping back into it. Most of the time is a better mapping than your original map.

What the guy at COSE is telling you to let the TCU adapt to your driving style.

Makita.....makita....makita....

Jaylim, for the wax not to touch those black plastic area, correct way to do it is mask that area with masking tape before you start to do waxing or polishing job....

To have good result in your detailing job, tools and skills comes hand in hand. Without skill good tools for you also will ruin the car's paint.

For tools it's more like an investment, the best you can get is the Makita 9227C which is priced close to MYR1,000, best price if bulk also MYR 900+ Another one is the DeWalt DWP894X but very seldom got people use here (but overseas a lot of them go towards DeWalt) most of the Hands On detailing class I attended also using Makita. You will also need a bolt on adapter for the makita on different pads because IINM the Makita thread got 2 types 16mm and 19mm. Then comes the different types of pads to use for waxing and polishing there are also finishing pads.

For the average users, having a makita some would feel like it's overkill but depends la...if for the occasional owner detailing then a Orbiter will be suffice to do the job...no mater you using Rotary or Orbiter, make sure the pads are clean before you start. If the pads not clean then your car will be www.hailat.com.my

Look at this Iswara. Solid green paint...lost shine and reflection totally. On the windscreen is the pads and stuff used.

I'm not promoting any products or services here....just to show with correct tools and guidance owners can become good detailer also..

Zeone. For handle need to remove from behind the door. Remove the plastic fitting from the door then I believe you will see the door handle bolts from behind.

Quaz, I find white easier red to me is hard...different people maybe...Hahahaha black is hard also...

Zeone, I will come back to you ASAP

zeone, I think I know how to change the door handle already. Please open the link that you posted. From there I think to change the handle you don't need to open the inner plastic cover (I might be wrong but who cares DIY mah)

1st you need to pry out plastic cover on the lock mechanism. Which then you will see the lock mechanism (refer to step 4 & 7 of the blog). The silver colour looking metal part.

To remove the door handle, the metal part need to be taken out 1st. Open your car door and look closely there's a black round rubber thing on the side of the door facing you. Refer to step 3, (the picture shows the rubber cover been removed already) removing the rubber cover will reveal the screw just like in the blog (step 3) Turn the screw to loosen it but this screw cannot be taken out. If the screw you turn until cannot turn already stop. After that, you will be able to remove the metal part that is shown at (step 4) Then only you can remove the door handle.

I believe that screw is to adjust the door handle opening strength or something so advice you to mark the screw before you turn it so that after you change the door handle you can turn the screw back to it original place. (need to remember how many turn of the mark ok)

The round rubber cover thing is on all 4 doors. I've checked and can confirm.

Hope this helps.
