Video tutorial

In the following video, a sanding operation is performed on the front headlight of a Mercedes CLK. The headlight is quite cloudy; therefore, before considering its replacement, effective and more economical maintenance can be carried out. Open the front bonnet and apply protective tape to the edges of the headlights to be treated.

Use a cloth and a slightly abrasive cleaning cream on the outer surface of the headlight.

You can also use sandpaper, but do not apply excessive pressure. Proceed to clean each lens with a cleaning product.

Wipe the lens with a cloth. When the surface is still wet, use a polishing cream and spread it well with your fingers.

Spray the liquid cleaner again and dry with a clean cloth.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
