More Powerful Tata Safari Storme Launched at Rs 13.52 lacs

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 17px !important; margin-top: 17px !important; padding: 0px;"> Tata has finally launched the highly anticipated and more powerful version of Safari Storme at a price of Rs 13.52 lacs (ex-showroom). Mechanically, this version is powered by Varicor 400 2.2 liter 4 cylinder engine and is able to deliver 25% extra torque (peak of 400 Nm) as compared to the previous one. It also gets an improved gearbox and churns out a maximum power of 156 PS. However, the latest upgradation is available only with VX trim (in 4×2 configuration) while 4x4 variant is expected to get the same at a later stage.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 17px !important; margin-top: 17px !important; padding: 0px;"> If figures are a better parameter to judge the performance, then new Safari Storme surely steals the show. The SUV will be able to do 0-100 kmph in just 12.8 seconds, which is one whole second lesser than the previous version (Varicor 320 engine) of Storme. Even in a smaller comparison (0-60 kmph), the upgraded version is approximately 0.5 seconds faster than the Varicor 320 engine.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 17px !important; margin-top: 17px !important; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="Torque comparison" itemprop="image" src="http://images.cardekho.com/images/uploadimages/1448263918312/img2.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 420px; width: 650px;" title="Torque comparison" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 17px !important; margin-top: 17px !important; padding: 0px;"> Tata had already added some tweaks earlier this year to enhance the overall appeal of this vehicle and with the power toppings, Storme has now become a more value for money product. Although the price for the newer model is higher by INR 40,000 (approx.), the overall package with a more powerful engine and efficient gearbox makes it lucrative for the buyer.</div> </div>

There might be a chance while everything working fine with your journey, be it your car, the driving style or the weather. But if headlights don’t properly reflect the road, its becomes difficult to get a control over some mishappenings. So, it is always a good practice to take a check of your vehicle on all the aspects including well illuminating headlights which are of great importance in bad weather (winter/ fog/ rain) and in the night drive.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <img alt="" src="http://process.girnarsoft.com/sites/default/files/images/highlight(2).jpg" style="border: none; height: 401px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 650px;" /></div> <div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <br /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Why headlight Stop illuminating at its Best?</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> Once occurrence of oxidation starts appearing, it speedily diminishes lens of the headlights since polycarbonate is a rifty and spongy thing. Particles of dust, debris, smoke, scratches and continuous thin plastic coatings damage the covering of headlights. All you need to know is that whether this defect is on the outside or inside to decide whether to remove the headlamps completely or just to clean them up. </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ways to Restore the headlamps:</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <ul style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 35px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 2px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Headlamps can be restored by using following methods:</li> <li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 2px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using the Bug Cleaner.</li> <li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 2px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using toothpaste.</li> <li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 2px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using liquid solution.</li> </ul> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> First two methods work temporarily and the headlamps go hazy very soon even after going through these methods. Within 3 days, the dimness starts appearing and you again get into the same status with your headlights not giving the 100%. So, it is suggested to go with the third method, i.e. Cleaning the headlights using liquid solution.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using Bug Spray: </strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> The Bug spray with DEET of 25% and with 75 % of other ingredients is a good combination of the actual material used to restore the headlamps. It shouldn’t be directly sprayed over the headlamps but rather should be taken on the paper towel first and then this paper towel can be rubbed over the headlamps circularly.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <img alt="" src="http://process.girnarsoft.com/sites/default/files/images/spray.JPG" style="border: none; height: 420px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 650px;" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> Quickly, a shiny and glowing headlamps come out as they were all new. But this method doesn’t last for a long time and in a few days starts getting same elements from the outer world even faster. Reason being the bug spray melting the plastic and making it sticky to attract more particles though oil fills the pores of the headlight plastic. </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <img alt="" src="http://process.girnarsoft.com/sites/default/files/images/clean1.JPG" style="border: none; height: 465px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 650px;" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using toothpaste:</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> A toothpaste in a mixture of baking soda and peroxide works very well for cleaning the headlamp surface and bring it in the original form. Few coats of the toothpaste can be enforced over with hand and then a water wet paper towel can be used to remove it all. More you want your headlamps to shine, more times you should do the same exercise. And finally, once it gets dried, you can put a wax coating to seal the surface from getting destroyed again. This method is a safeguard to your headlamps from getting spoiled for few months, so no more maintenance is required and this is suggested better than the bug spray diction.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using liquid solution:</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> First remove the dirt using soap and water or using the Windex (cleaning solution/ lubrication liquid) or a household glass cleaner. Dry it, now put water over the headlight surface and on the sandpaper for an ergonomic hand grip. This sandpaper would next be rubbed over the headlights circularly, up-down and horizontally for 2-3 times. Now it is the time to have a course of the polisher liquid properly in adequate quantity after drying. A sealer protectant (car wax/silicon sealer) is applied after drying it once again that will favour it from gaining yellowish and gets sealed from outer effects. </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <img alt="" src="http://process.girnarsoft.com/sites/default/files/images/clean.JPG" style="border: none; height: 420px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 650px;" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Precautions to be taken while restoring the headlights:</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> Surrounding areas near the headlights should be taped off with masking or painter’s tape to protect the car paint and body from a foozle. Rubber areas get a white film over it with liquid and spoils looks which further is not removable.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> The sandpaper used for rubbing come in various grits from 400 to 2000 grits. Lesser the number, lesser the pressure it requires to put upon the headlights. Greater the number, more efforts you need to put. </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <img alt="" src="http://process.girnarsoft.com/sites/default/files/images/headlight_restoration.jpg" style="border: none; height: 421px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 650px;" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> </div>

So, it is always a good practice to take a check of your vehicle on all the aspects including well illuminating headlights which are of great importance in bad weather (winter/ fog/ rain) and in the night drive.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <img alt="" src="http://process.girnarsoft.com/sites/default/files/images/highlight(2).jpg" style="border: none; height: 401px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 650px;" /></div> <div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <br /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Why headlight Stop illuminating at its Best?</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> Once occurrence of oxidation starts appearing, it speedily diminishes lens of the headlights since polycarbonate is a rifty and spongy thing. Particles of dust, debris, smoke, scratches and continuous thin plastic coatings damage the covering of headlights. All you need to know is that whether this defect is on the outside or inside to decide whether to remove the headlamps completely or just to clean them up. </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ways to Restore the headlamps:</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <ul style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 35px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 2px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Headlamps can be restored by using following methods:</li> <li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 2px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using the Bug Cleaner.</li> <li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 2px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using toothpaste.</li> <li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 2px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using liquid solution.</li> </ul> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> First two methods work temporarily and the headlamps go hazy very soon even after going through these methods. Within 3 days, the dimness starts appearing and you again get into the same status with your headlights not giving the 100%. So, it is suggested to go with the third method, i.e. Cleaning the headlights using liquid solution.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using Bug Spray: </strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> The Bug spray with DEET of 25% and with 75 % of other ingredients is a good combination of the actual material used to restore the headlamps. It shouldn’t be directly sprayed over the headlamps but rather should be taken on the paper towel first and then this paper towel can be rubbed over the headlamps circularly.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <img alt="" src="http://process.girnarsoft.com/sites/default/files/images/spray.JPG" style="border: none; height: 420px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 650px;" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> Quickly, a shiny and glowing headlamps come out as they were all new. But this method doesn’t last for a long time and in a few days starts getting same elements from the outer world even faster. Reason being the bug spray melting the plastic and making it sticky to attract more particles though oil fills the pores of the headlight plastic. </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <img alt="" src="http://process.girnarsoft.com/sites/default/files/images/clean1.JPG" style="border: none; height: 465px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 650px;" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using toothpaste:</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> A toothpaste in a mixture of baking soda and peroxide works very well for cleaning the headlamp surface and bring it in the original form. Few coats of the toothpaste can be enforced over with hand and then a water wet paper towel can be used to remove it all. More you want your headlamps to shine, more times you should do the same exercise. And finally, once it gets dried, you can put a wax coating to seal the surface from getting destroyed again. This method is a safeguard to your headlamps from getting spoiled for few months, so no more maintenance is required and this is suggested better than the bug spray diction.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using liquid solution:</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> First remove the dirt using soap and water or using the Windex (cleaning solution/ lubrication liquid) or a household glass cleaner. Dry it, now put water over the headlight surface and on the sandpaper for an ergonomic hand grip. This sandpaper would next be rubbed over the headlights circularly, up-down and horizontally for 2-3 times. Now it is the time to have a course of the polisher liquid properly in adequate quantity after drying. A sealer protectant (car wax/silicon sealer) is applied after drying it once again that will favour it from gaining yellowish and gets sealed from outer effects. </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <img alt="" src="http://process.girnarsoft.com/sites/default/files/images/clean.JPG" style="border: none; height: 420px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 650px;" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Precautions to be taken while restoring the headlights:</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> Surrounding areas near the headlights should be taped off with masking or painter’s tape to protect the car paint and body from a foozle. Rubber areas get a white film over it with liquid and spoils looks which further is not removable.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> The sandpaper used for rubbing come in various grits from 400 to 2000 grits. Lesser the number, lesser the pressure it requires to put upon the headlights. Greater the number, more efforts you need to put. </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"> <img alt="" src="http://process.girnarsoft.com/sites/default/files/images/headlight_restoration.jpg" style="border: none; height: 421px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 650px;" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">  </div> </div>
