Before painting a part of the body, protect the area with plastic sheets secured with masking tape. Use a special liquid to moisten the area to be painted.

Pour the paint into the reservoir of the spray gun connected to the compressor and apply the first coat to the body. After about ten minutes, apply a second coat.

Now use a specific product to make the paint glossy. Once this work is finished, check for any imperfections where the new paint meets the old paint.

If there are any, proceed to remove them using very fine sandpaper soaked in water. Perform this operation gently and carefully.

Finally, apply rubbing compound with a suitable tool. The maintenance operation shown in this video is performed on a BMW 3 Series.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
