How to clean and maintain your car’s interior

21st November 2021
"A clean car interior is a must in making sure your vehicle retains its value & also keeping you and your family safe from germs."

If you drive a lot for work or have kids and pets, you know how hard it can be to keep the inside of your car clean. Keeping your car clean also keeps odors from developing and can help its resale value, too. Here are the tips and maintenance to clean your car’s interior:

Clear trash:

Before you pull out the vacuum and cleaning supplies, clear out all the obvious trash. Check everywhere thoroughly. Gather all the trash from the floorboards, cup holders, door pockets, and seat pockets and recycle or dispose of it.

Remove and clean the floor mats:

Floor mats are often some of the dirtiest items in a car interior. Pull the floor mats out of the vehicle and shake them out as much as possible.

This will make vacuuming easier. Scrub them with soap and hot water or a foaming carpet cleaner and allow them to air dry completely before you put them back.

Clean the interior windows and doors:

Spray a window cleaner solution on windows and wipe clean with a paper towel or microfiber cloth. Use a microfiber cloth and an ammonia-free commercial window cleaner in a spray bottle to remove the haze from interior windows.

Clean the seats:

If you have leather car seats, use the vacuum tool to carefully remove dust and grime from stitching and the area where the backs and bottom seats join. If there are stains on the seats or the carpet make sure to clean them as well.

Remove Grime and Dust:

Grab a soft cloth or cleaning wipes to wipe up all that dirt, sticky stuff, and dust. You can also spray a small amount of car cleaner over the console, steering wheel, Dashboard, and the area between the seats to restore that new-car look.

Cup holders can harbor grime, spilled coffee, and dead hair and skin cells. Try using a cotton swab dipped in a little cleaning solution to reach those difficult areas.

Clean the trunk:

Many individuals forget to clean out the trunk. So make sure to clear the area from large items and give it a nice deep vacuum.

Brush down the trunk fabric with your cleaning brush and follow it up with a deep vacuum to remove dirt and grime. Repeat this process and use carpet shampoo or interior cleaner where needed.

Electric Vehicles | Cars | Bikes: Advantages and Disadvantages

30th December 2019
"The government is motivating the customers to buy electric vehicles through tax waivers for EVs."

Not long ago, Nepal only imported vehicles that were generated and operated through fossil fuels. The reasons were simple, lack of enough electricity and public trust in electric vehicles. However, considering the fact that Nepal is one of the richest sources of water and reduction of power cuts, Nepal is now being seen as the potential country for EVs.

Maaz Ashraf, the marketing and communications manager from NIU electric scooter quotes, “This is the third year for NIU electric scooter in Nepal. The first year was disappointing as the people didn’t get the idea of an electric vehicle, and its price range. The second-year was comparatively better and the third year has been overwhelming. The perspective of people towards EVs is changing.”

The government is motivating the customers to buy electric vehicles through tax waivers for EVs. Also, the reduction of load shedding and awareness of people about the difference in cost when switching from a petrol vehicle to an electric vehicle is a supporting factor. More?

Did you visit the NADA Auto Show 2019?

We could observe that there were only a few fuel generated vehicles launched. The rest of all was electric. Brands like Hyundai, KIA, Peugeot launched their EVs recently and they are undeniably hitting the market with a good response. New and local brands like BYD, TheeGo, Genius, Miyama were also getting a very good response from the public. Recently, Yatri introduced Project Zero, YATRI bike which is getting launched in January 2020, has been the talk of the nation. People are more inclined towards the EVs than the fuel generated vehicles.

Is an electric vehicle the future?

Electric Vehicles Advantages and Disadvantages

When we asked this question to the visitors of NADA and other general people and enthusiasts, we got mixed opinions. Some said that electric vehicles are indeed the future because it has advantages of low cost, easy maintenance and eco-friendly. However, some opposed stating that motor vehicles are supposed to be roaring through the streets and no electric vehicle can give such an experience. One visitor we interviewed in NADA said that the electric bike is no less than a cycle, it definitely doesn’t give the vibes of a motorbike at all.

Electric vehicle disadvantages:

Lithium-Ion, the main component of the EV’s battery, being a limited resource, cannot fully replace all the vehicles. Similarly, in the context of Nepal, we don’t have any policy regarding the disposal of the used battery (as of now). As quoted by Santosh Nyaupane, “The liquid coming out of the battery is a hazardous chemical that degrades the environment. If the liquid is disposed at a particular place, it becomes deteriorated and we cannot expect anything to grow from the soil for at least a decade.”

Battery used in electric vehicles

The pioneers of electric vehicles are trying to come up with ideas and inventions for the invention of full proof eco-friendly vehicles. The government is supporting the initiative by providing low-interest rates on loans for installing electric charging sockets. Companies like Hyundai are already exploring and testing hydrogen-powered vehicles. The future of the automobile is still getting advanced. We will keep on informing you of all those innovations. Stay tuned with us.

Buying a Second-Hand Car? Here are the Tips

18th November 2021
"Buying a second-hand car means it’s a smart investment done by the buyer as the price of the new car is raising every New Year."

Buying a second-hand car means it’s a smart investment done by the buyer as the price of the new car is raising every New Year.  

Some buy it because they aren’t as confident in their driving. Whatsoever be the reason trust me this is a very complex thing to do. Herewith are the basic tips you can follow before buying a second-hand car:

History of the maintenance of the car:

Always make sure that you know about the car history, before purchasing one. Checking the exterior condition might help better in finding out about the vehicles.

Maintenance of Car

Simply, ask the owner about in what conditions the vehicle was being used and also ask if the servicing and maintenance were done regularly or if the vehicle has been in an accident.

Moreover, try to get as much information from the owner about in what conditions the vehicle was being used.

Engine:

Engine coolant

As we all know the engine is the heart of the car. Always, check for leaks, corrosion, and cracked tubes in the engine. Make sure to check the oil and transmission dipsticks for discoloration — the oil should be light brown, transmission fluid should be pink or red. The dark brown stains seen on the engine blocks are caused by a gasket leak.

Exterior and Interior Condition:

If you are buying a second-hand car, then it’s very necessary to take a good look at the vehicle from all angles. Things might look fine at first glance, but a close inspection can reveal a different picture.

Exterior and interior

Watch out for rusting and paint damage in the exterior and check the front and back seats for any tear or stains, and electronic items such as a music system, monitor in the interior.

Documents:

The documents related to the vehicle should not be neglected at any cost by the buyer. It is one of the most important things that will give you different information like about previous owner, vehicle sold record, and also vehicle’s tax payment record.

Car documents

Original purchase invoice, insurance, road tax receipt, and pollution certificate are the documents that are needed to be checked while buying a used car.

Mechanical inspection:

This is the last and major step you should not forget. First of all, do your personal inspection of the car and if you are in any of the doubts or no doubt take the car to the professionals for the final check-up because the car is a big investment though it is a second hand.

Car inspection

Even after the detailed inspection and test ride, mechanic inspection will make sure if there is something the buyer should worry about.

Since the mechanics are professionals, they are more aware of the vehicles and can determine if the vehicle has any underlying issues or areas that might become an issue in the future.
