Maruti is adding some 60-70 dealers every month and are targetting 3000 dealerships by 2018. Swift/Dzire demand will never go down they will find buyers in the newer markets. Swift/Dzire has become the bread and butter of MSIL accounting for 35% of its total monthly sales?

Hi doc see the below link for black hole application

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOBLEWM9-wU

but you wait to haze and then buff it off, same procedure can be followed for other items.

steps below

Hi Doc

Step 1.

Wash the car with ONR proklear raw extreme, apply very thin coat of black hole let it haze and buff it.

Step 2.

Apply very very thin coat of EX-P sealant and wait 45 min and buff it off. Reapply second coat wait for 45 mins and buff if off.

Step 3. Apply one coat of natty blue let it haze and buff it off.

Use separate mf applicator pads for application and use mf towels above 380gsm for buffing.

use carpro perl for interiors.

Welcome, yes A pillar is big, is your car petrol or diesel and what is the variant. You have been very good long term ownership, share your experiences about your car.

mine is a 2012 pacific blue swift dzire vxi..
its been a great car and gives good fuel consuption. Dad drives it everyday to work and has a average commute of 50km a day.. my car gives 17kmpl in daily use, engine is powerful and bit short on torque,but still its good. My car has done almost 50k on odo and service and maintanece expenses are compartively less.
One of the problem im facing is that the break starts to vibrate when applied above 100kmph. which gives a doubt in my mind and i dont push my car to that speed. i went to the workshop to check this, they said it would be the problem of worn out tyres. But still it seems to persits after changing tyres and giving allignment and balance check. Still i cant figure out the reason for vibration. I think i have to go to another mechanic

Vibration above 100kmph
1. It is not necessarily wheel alignment and balancing, one of the reason is worn-out brake pads and disks, mechanics usually clean the pads on a sand sheet during service that alters the pad surface and disk too due to that while braking you get vibrations. They should not clean in that way, they have to clean pads with brake cleaner spray and dry with compressed air.

2. If vibrations are present above 100kmph even without braking then check ball joints, toe ends and rack and pinion set-up if all are fine you try Road force balancing it will solve problems.

New type 3 K12MN engine which is present in 2015 model blessed with excellent torque.

Hii gthm428
Reverse gear problem is common issue with all maruti. I have same issues too with my wagon R and also with new dzire.
So I always move the vehicle first front and then shift to reverse gear

Reverse gear problem is not common to MSIL but it is common to most of the cars because there is no synchronizer for reverse gear. Reverse gear is selected by a sliding gear called idler gear which of sliding type.

In case of other gears they have synchronizers and they are in constant mesh with input and counter shaft, so shifting is easy, this is not the case for reverse gear because it uses sliding gear called idler gear which is sliding type which has to slide and attach to output shaft which is not rotating.

As DrManju told "I always move the vehicle first front and then shift to reverse gear" that is good idea.
