Small scratches or cloudiness on the bodywork due to paint ageing are relatively easy to repair. Using a grinder equipped with a cotton bonnet, begin to gently polish the damaged area to make the surface smooth and clean from oils and grease, also using a solvent.

It is advisable to dampen the bonnet with a suitable product commonly referred to as Polish, which can remove scratches and smudges. Once the Polish has dried, carefully wipe with a clean cloth to achieve a smooth and even surface.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

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. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
