Nowadays, many cars have transparent plastic protectors applied at points on the bodywork most exposed to stones on our roads. They are very useful for protecting the bodywork from dirt and scratches, but over time they can yellow or take on an unsightly appearance.

They are applied with a very strong adhesive that does not come off even with high-pressure water from car washes. However, no matter how strong the glue may be, it cannot withstand steam heat.

In fact, to easily remove the adhesives, the right technique is to heat them with steam so that the glue remains attached to the plastic and not to the bodywork. Once the adhesive is completely removed, any remaining glue can be removed with alcohol or, in extreme cases, with petrol.

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.
