How to repaint a damaged bumper

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Body

In this video we can see how to restore a bumper that has suffered slight damage; we start by sanding it with not too aggressive paper, in order to level the plastic as much as possible: We start with a 240, then we apply polyester body filler (trying to use as little as possible), and finish with a 320 when it is dry. We widen with a 600 and mask where it is not needed, to apply primer on the parts to be repainted, giving a light coat. Then we give a light coat with wet 600: with a light pad, we also pass on the painted part, to degrease, then a pass of silicone remover. We apply a first coat of adhesion, then when it is dry we apply the second, and then we apply the clear coat all over: the third coat is used to polish well.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
