I lately spotted that Black Window panel is turning little whitish , i asked Hond Ass service Guy and he said he will put some polish in next service , i said i can do it myself , i asked for a solution he started Sir where you park your car , facing which side and blaah blaah , i knew he will not entertain much , so guys what do you think about it , what can i do , Friend says use Black bumper polish to bring back original colour but its a temporary solutions .

I never spotted such whitish colourisation on other Brio's .

Yes this is caused due to hard water used while a wash. Did you give your car for a wash in some car-washing spot ? They generally use bor-wells, which can cause these marks. I know a friend of mine who uses boot polish and he is happy with it. May be that can be a solution

I have just found the rattling sound in my brio this morning. Its from the driver side dashboard. What may be the reason ? and solution to this ? Help will be pleasing

Yes dashboard polish will work.But do not apply too much because it will attract a lot of dust.

The rattling could be cause due to loose screws.Ask the service people to tighten them.

I was going through the brio manual just like that and found about AC filter but it is mentioned "for select variants". Does BRIO have AC filter installed . What is the actual purpose of AC filter. Does it effects the efficiency of AC in anyway?


Also confirmed the service interval from the manual, it is 6 months or 10K kms(not 5K)

I had very bad experience with the Com-paint touch up spray paints

It worked almost OK with the Interior door steps, but really pathetic experience with the exterior rear bumper.
It was very much visible since the color was not the exact match(Even though they said its the perfect shade for the color of my car) and the main reason is, it wont give the perfect shiny surface.
Since they dont shine well, it is very much visible to the area to where we made the touch ups..

Anyways, you got the product, so all the best.
I got mine in last year, may be by now com-paint may be improved their products with better shiny result.

Waiting for the results.

Even I faced this rattle sound from driver side dashboard, reported to dealer during my second service. The sound was coming from driver side Air-bag section and they fixed it. till now all is well!!!

Well i tried today and it was " Disaster " , Spray spread every where then Scratched area , even with multiple spray over on scratched area , paint could go off other areas but not on scratched area , i felt UT of COM-Paint was much darker than car color , i was so disappointed with the work that i used paint remover to remove all the paint , i might try it again but i am thinking of seeking professional help if it fails again .

Sorry to hear about it.
If my memory is true, I got mine for Rs.400/-. I thought they must have improved their product's quality with the increased price.

Not to discourage you, If you feel the color is not exact then its not going to be perfect even if it is done by a professional.

Whats about shinning? Does it shinning well?
When I tried with a cheap locally available SPRAY CAN I found it is much better than this com-paint.
Here you can see an experiment that I have done on a jar CAP. Cost of spray can is Rs.110/-

Anyways, I'm really thankfull to Com-paint for providing Com-merge with their kit, using it i could clean the com-paint spray paint that i have applied on my car..

coldfire2005:What exactly are you trying to touch up?

Dear JARPICKLE

He has tried to touch up bumper for the scratches. Almost like the ones i got in my brio. Even i tried the touch up using the com-paint kit and the result i have posted at http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/technical-zone/12550-honda-brio-problems-solutions-19.html

However still i have to do the rubbing for the shine and finish but after hearing feedback from kichu it's looking like i may not get the glossy finish .
