I went to 3M car care to enquire about their paint protection treatment and showed the scratches to the 3M guy.

He said he would be buffing the affected areas and include that in the paint treatment.

To be honest, on cars, using paint protection won't help much and is a wasteful expense in my view. Reason being, the traffic is dense and its unavoidable to keep the car free of nudges/scratches. The PPF is a thin film sort of protective cover which if gets scrapped with a sharp scratch would need a full panel re-work to be done i.e You'll need to re-install the entire film of the damaged panel again and getting PPF on a single panel or even otherwise is a costly affair. So I would suggest, simply go for rubbing and avoid spending on this PPF.

Small Update:

Returned from Ghaziabad->Agra->Ghaziabad trip of 550KMs. We were 2.2 onboard with some luggage i.e. ~200KGs extra weight. I tried different speeds to observe the speed FE relation. Complete trip was done with ECO mode without AC. Each speed was maintained for 90 KMs without brake. Only Yamuna Expressway allows you to experiment like this. Below is the relationship:

70KMPH-25KMPL,
80-23,
90-21,
100-19.

And yes, Eco mode can touch 140 kmph but struggles beyond it.

Guys day before yesterday my car had a bad day ,some moron had showed his drawing talent on my car bonnet .I had attended a marriage day before yesterday. In marriage hall premises parking area was full so I had to park the car at nearby area which looked quite safe to park. But unfortunately intolerable marks were there on my car.

I had taken the car from first year service on Monday ,after service wash car was looking so beautiful but very next day this incident happened. Scars were very deep and there was no point in thinking of getting it polished.

I was clueless on that spot what to do next, took the car to TASS yesterday and asked for their opinion. I was thinking of claiming insurance because insurance is getting expired today(I had lost no claim eligibility) but for Zero Dip insurance minimum amount to pay for each claim is 1000+ 2000= 3000INR.

Later I came to know that there is a special Body repair Camp is going on in Prerana Motors Bangalore Peenya.
The offer is as shown in the below image. Repainting cost is 2016INR(+ Tax would be around 200) for a panel. I found 2016INR is good price for dent removing and repainting job. So I gave the car for bonnet and front left door repainting. I hope my car will be alright and finishing will be top class.

I am getting the car today evening ,i will post a picture and share my experience to you people.

Currently there is a software update for harman systems loosing time and showing 3 to 5 minutes lesser time.

They have a software update to adjust the time and avoid losing it.

I am not sure if they have any audio not supported message related software update or not.
