Waxing will help reduce this marks , In market you get tar and adhesive remover for car which are pretty good try it .

In Your second video in rains , Did you keep car in fresh air mode at that time ? it looks little foggy

Thanks buddy. Will enquire the thar remover today.
I always keep the car in fresh air mode. It wasnt foggy on the expressway.May be the dusk lighting. It was foggy on the ghats in the 1st video. Dont have its video.
Waxing is done to prevent swirl marks and not to remove them. I think I would have to polish the exterior before waxing. Polishing will remove the swirl.
But I wanted to know if there is any DIY (do it yourself) for swirl mark removal ?

Always or only in rains (fresh air mode ) . Wash car with shampoo and then wax it . If marks are there then go for polish too . Red colour tend to loose shine and Fade over the time so you have to take care of car .

Fresh air mode always.

Fresh air mode always.

Not Advisable all the time , in the fresh air mode since fresh air is being sucked every time, your ac needs to work harder than usual to cool it and Dust will also accumulate in the ac ducts and you will need to get it cleaned sooner than usual.

Keep the car in this mode for Normal drive , Fresh air mode is good In wet conditions or to defrost the windscreen the fresh air mode setting is necessary

Oh. Thanks for the info bro. Shall keep it in mind and change it the next time I get into the car. It was foggy half the time and I had to use it anyway with the defogger. Thanks for sharing

basically fresh mode is for people who smoke while in the car and it recirculates freah air

or

say winters are setting in or your driving in hills and do not need ac. keeping the blower on with fresh air mode works wonders.

oh okay nitin.
I generally had kept it on with blowers in city and highways too. And have not really felt the need of really using AC for a long time. I always felt that, here in bangalore atleast, it would be enough to keep fresh air rotating in the cabin with blower on will keep the cabin cool.Didnt know there were chances of blockages in the air ducts. So this practice should be minimised to an extent

Guys what kind of mileage are you getting in city with your brio's ?

Guys what kind of mileage are you getting in city with your brio's ?

In city I get 15-16kmpl (no AC or very less 10%).
Highways touches 23 kmpl approx on MID with 50% AC.
Recently on fully corroded ghats (9-10 kmpl).

Bro Don't go by MID figure , even i have got figure of 23kmpl but actual Full tank method revealed it was only 18kmpl .

I get 15.50kmpl in City and 17.50kmpl in City and Highway travel .

Guys what kind of mileage are you getting in city with your brio's ?

City ranges from 12.5-15.5kmpl (traffic & AC factor)

Highways from 17.5-19kmpl (AC & driving factor)

Pretty decent figures are attained for Brio. Havent heard anyone complain about the FE yet.

Check post #58. I had posted the tankfull method details too. The difference between tankfull and MID was a mere 0.5kmpl. Those were city drive stats.

A quick add-on. Have got this vent visors and door guards up and going on our brio. Had spent 1300 bucks on them.

I bought them for 1100 dude
I saw the 750 and 650 buck visors also. The shop somehow managed to convince me that those were not hard and he could easily bend them with hands. So i went ahead with the choice for 1100.

I plan to DIY on two things now. Any suggestions and advice will be appreciated.
1. Buy a noodle vinyl mat and floor it in the car as a car mat. Have heard they sell it at 75-80 rupees per s.ft. Can someone make an approximate S.ft for the brio mat area please ?
2.I doubt if this can be done for many reasons. INTEGRATING REAR SEAT HEADRESTS for a sole reason of rear seat passenger neck support comfort. I doubt it will look good but comfort is more important I guess
