Porsche 911 - Video tutorial

Model: Porsche 911 996 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Bodywork
Operation: How to restore the bodywork of a Porsche 996

If you thought white was an "easy" color you must have realized long ago that this is not true. White - like black - is even more difficult to maintain than other colors. This video teaches us how to best protect it. First of all let's wash our 996 to perfection. Then with a flexible hose and 800 or 1000 sandpaper we pass the bodywork of our white car (or at least the parts that we believe have suffered damage) not forgetting the removable spoiler. Remember to protect the glass with body repair tape! Already after the passage of the sandpaper the scratches are almost gone. We can also reserve the same treatment for the optical groups, to restore their brilliance. Now let's wash and vacuum the car again perfectly and protect it with a ceramic bodywork spray (of excellent quality, it costs around 20.00 euros per bottle on the major e-commerce platforms) and then polish it with extreme care, as if it were an ornament, in every part of it. Maybe it wasn't like that even when it was new.

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.
