With the cost of replacing windshields getting higher all the time, it pays to take the time to repair them if possible. Scratches are a problem that should be addressed not just because they are unsightly, but also because they can be dangerous. Scratches reflect light in a way that hinders visibility, and it can even be blinding when facing bright, direct sunlight. Fortunately, many scratches can be repaired.

Gather the Materials

There are just a few materials needed for repairing scratches in glass, but they may take a little time and research to find. You will need some jewelers rouge, also known as cerium oxide. This can usually be found at a jewelery supply shop or hobby store. Make sure that you buy the type that is red in color. You will also need glycerin, which is available at most pharmacies. Buy these in small quantities, as each batch only requires 2 tablespoons of each product. Gain access to an electric buffer and buy a firm felt pad for it. Then gather a small bowl, some clean rags, clear nail polish and a little window cleaner.

Technique

Make a paste by mixing the water, glycerin, and jewelers rouge in a small bowl. Apply a small amount of the paste onto the scratch on the glass. Mount the felt polishing pad on the buffer, and begin by gently rubbing the compound on the window. Apply pressure a little at a time, as you do not want to press too hard and crack the glass. Let the area dry briefly, approximately 30 seconds, and then wipe the area clean with a rag.

Finishing Touches

Inspect the area and look to see if it has been repaired to your liking. If not, repeat the process. Many times, multiple applications will yield better results. If you find that there is a little distortion in the surface of the glass after finishing, you can apply a little clear nail polish to repair it. Allow it to dry completely and finish the job by cleaning any residue with window cleaner.

Dealing with cracks and chips to your car windshield is crucial to ensure the safety of yourself and others traveling in your car. Cracks are often caused by rocks, pebbles and other debris on the road bouncing off the windshield. In most cases the damage is insignificant, but repair must be carried out as soon as possible to stop the crack weakening the entire structural system of the windshield, which can lead to more serious damage.

Instructions

1

Leave the crack alone until you have the time and the necessary tools to attempt a repair. Modern car windows normally have a laminated plastic coating, which means that while parts of the windshield may shatter or suffer damage, underlying glass layers wont explode just because of a small crack or chip. There is enough strength in the windshield for it to stay intact long enough for you to take the car to a garage or auto repair shop.

2

Apply clear adhesive tape to the crack if it is more substantial; keep a roll in your glove compartment for quick and easy access. Use a wide roll so that any tiny, loose glass fragments are kept intact and to provide adequate preservation of the glass layers and laminate coating. Dont go overboard with the tape though, as you dont want it to restrict your view when driving.

3

Park your car on a level surface when you are ready to repair the crack.

4

Clean the windshield with soapy water, ensuring you remove all debris from the crack using the motorized rotary tool in your repair kit. You can use the tool to widen the crack slightly as this will make it easier to apply the resin.

5

Attach the repair stickers to the inside of the cracked windshield. Applied correctly, the sticker should cover as large a section of the cracked windshield as possible.

6

Inject the resin into the crack using the pump or syringe included in the repair kit. Avoid air bubbles by maintaining an even flow of resin. The resin must make contact with the inside surfaces of the windshield.

7

Attach the remaining stickers over the resin and leave it to cure for a minimum of four hours to give it time to set into the windshield. When you remove the stickers inspect the spot closely to make sure the resin has completely cured.

8

Take your car to a qualified professional if you dont feel confident getting rid of the crack yourself. In severe cases, if the windshield shatters, the entire glass pane will have to be replaced.

RON stands for Research Octane Number - determines anti-knock quality or resistance to pre-ignition or detonation as it burns in the engine cylinders.

Myths: Get more power by using high RON fuel

RON is not energy content. Power output or fuel mileage can NOT be improved by burning higher octane fuel than a particular engine was designed for. A higher octane fuel does not add any more hydrocarbon content or oxygen, the engine cannot produce more power. Hence using fuel with RON higher than what the engine requires may not be necessarily gaining better performance and lower RON doesnt mean less power either. Using higher RON rating also may not necessarily be the best for the engine - there is no guarantee of greater power or a more environment-friendly option as the RON number gets higher unless the engine is designed specifically to run on it.

Peugeot 308 turbo can run [effectively/efficiently] on RON95 as indicated by the label on the back of the fuel filler lid. No worry! Gunalah tanpa waswas.

UPDATE: RON 95 SUITABLE FOR NAZA, KIA AND PEUGEOT VEHICLES - The Naza Automotive Group has encouraged owners of its petrol-powered Naza, Kia and Peugeot vehicles to use the RON 95 fuel. In a statement, the company said RON 95 was suitable for the Naza Ria, Naza Citra, Naza Suria, Naza Citra II Rondo, Kia Sportage, Kia Carnival, Kia Carens, Kia Picanto,Kia Optima, Kia Spectra5, Kia Spectra, Kia Rondo, Naza 206 Bestari, Peugeot 206,Peugeot 407, Peugeot 308 Turbo, Peugeot 308Vti and Naza Forza.

Ive also tested RON 95 on all myPeugeots [405, 308, 206] and Mercedes Benz W124. It seemed that the fuel ngam with all those cars - in fact the tail pipes are cleaner [less carbon black]. The engine also run smoothly on RON95 - probably better combustion inside those engine cylinders.

Happy Motoring!

In hard economic times we need to make every dollar stretch as far as we can but sometimes, to save money, you have to spend a little money. This is especially true where your car is concerned. Simple low cost maintenance procedures and driving habits can save you a lot more money over the long run.

An unknown author came up with the acronym B-L-O-W-B-A-G that makes it simple to remember how to take care of the most important features on your car.

B = Brakes - Worn brake pads can damage the brake rotors leading to more expensive repairs later on.

L = Lights - It is easy and cheap to change your own light bulbs and good lights can prevent a collision by making your car more visible. Keep extra bulbs in your glove compartment just in case.

O = Oil - Oil changes are cheap and, when done on schedule, will extend the life of your engine. Make sure you use the manufacturers recommended oil type. Check your oil level often and keep an extra bottle handy just in case.

W = Water - Check your water level and make sure you use the recommended coolant for your engine. Check your radiator for leaks and make sure your windshield washer reservoir is full.

B = Battery - Check for corrosion on your battery terminals and, if your battery is not sealed, check the water level and replace it with distilled water when necessary.

A= Air - Check your tire pressure when the tires are cold. Maintaining proper air pressure will prevent wear on your tires and extend your gas mileage.

G = Gas - Make sure your gas gauge is showing the proper level and use the proper octane level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Other money saving tips to remember include:

Tires - Rotate the tires every time you get your oil changed. Rotating your tires will prevent excessive wear and extend the life of your tires. Check the tread; worn tires can cause you to skid on wet roads or they can blow out and possibly cause a collision.

Suspension System - Making sure the springs and connections are in good working order will help extend the life of the vehicle and prevent more expensive repairs later on.

Reduce your insurance rates by attending a defensive driving course or traffic school - In some states, voluntarily attending a defensive driving course can help you reduce your insurance rates. It can also help you improve your driving habits and thus prevent more wear and tear on your vehicle. Check your state laws to see if you are eligible.

Drive the speed limit - Speeding, just by a little bit, wont save you much time and it can cost you money. For example; a ten mile trip at the posted speed of 40 mph will take 15 minutes. Driving 5 mph over the speed limit will only save you a little over a minute but it will cost more gas, create more wear and tear on the engine, and possibly lead to an expensive speeding ticket.
