We’ve all been there, squeezing through a tighter-than-usual spot in a car park and ending up scratching the paint on your car.

Depending on the severity of the damage, you may be able to remedy that right at home, without the need to go to a specialist.

Buying used cars: 5 signs a car has been in an accident

A knight in shining armor is a man who has never had his metal truly tested. Likewise, a pristine looking car is a car that hasn’t been driven much. While the former may be an inspirational phrase, the latter is a sign of a good used car. When shopping for a used car, it is normal to see dings, scratches, or the occasional putty. Small damages are good for bargaining, but a used car with major damage is much better avoided. Whether or not to go on with the purchase is entirely up to you. This en

Covid-19: Can alcohol sanitizers be used to clean your car?

The answer is no, alcohol sanitizers or plain rubbing alcohol might be good products for disinfecting our bodies and household surfaces, but alcohol will damage the material that are used to build the interior of the car. After rubbing hand sanitizer that is largely made up of alcohol on your hands you feel a distinct dryness to your skin. That’s because alcohol dries up anything it comes in contact with. Since our car interiors are made up of materials such as leather, plastics, vinyl, and poly

Honda Malaysia has maintained consistent sales growth for the past 5 years, an average of 30% increase from 2014 to 2018.

Sun damage ruins the resale value of your car, here's how to prevent it

Leaving your car parked under the hot sun seems like a harmless thing to do. What’s the worst that could happen? Just a hot cabin, right? The truth is, the sun can damage your car after extended periods of exposure and this hurts the resale value of your car. Just like our skin, the car’s paint, rubber parts, and upholstery can only withstand that much sun. Things dry up and age faster when exposed to UV rays. Visible effects of sun damage are: Oxidation and fading of automobile paint Discoloura

Your headlights are more than just to illuminate the path for you

We’re all familiar with the usage of our car headlights. It’s a regulation that all car manufacturers are required to install headlights on their cars. There is also a set guideline on the placement that must be followed. We know to turn them on when the sky turns dark to illuminate the path ahead of us. But our headlights are installed on our cars to do more than just illuminate the road in front of us. They also help other road users see us better. Especially during rainy days when our cars ar

Anti-haze air-conditioning: Only two car manufacturers offer it in Malaysia

Malaysia’s almost annual battle with haze is becoming especially severe this year. Several locations in Penang and Sarawak have already recorded API (Air Pollution Index) readings of over 200 (very unhealthy). The reading in Kuching is inching closer to the hazardous level of 300. Haze is contributed by microscopic size particulate matter (PM) pollutants measuring no more than 2.5 micrometers. Ordinary air filters are ineffective against PM 2.5 pollutants, which is why the public are advised to
