Part: Bodywork
Operation: Cleaning of the bodywork from impurities and any small scratches

It happens very often that car bodies are soiled by paints or resins that stick to the paint. Removing these types of impurities without special precautions can cause damage to the bodywork. Specific products are used for this, indicated according to the type of abrasion required for cleaning and according to the color of the car. The paste is applied to a cloth and passed over the dirt. Once the stain has been eliminated, the part that may have halos or, in the worst case, scratches, is polished with a further paste. Once the area has been cleaned, a product suitable for polishing the bodywork is used, chosen based on the color of the same.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
