 Benefits of Sanding by Hand

3M blocks make hand sanding a more efficient task, which helps boost overall productivity when power sanding is not an option. Automotive restoration technicians like power sanding due to its speed and ease, but some applications do not allow for power sanding. In those cases, you can still gain efficiency by using 3M sanding blocks. Use these blocks for areas out of reach of power sanding tools. Hand sanding is also preferred for situations in which you need more precise control. With the speed of power sanders, one lingering pause can result in irreversible damage in certain situations. Hand sanding allows you to work at a pace that's suitable for more delicate work. Hand sanding also produces less dust if that is a concern. 

Two Big Benefits of Using 3M Sanding Blocks

3M Hookit Sanding Blocks serve dual purposes of making the job of sanding go easier and the results better. These auto shop accessories are the product of seeking innovative ways to boost efficiency and effectiveness on the job.

Hookit is the perfect time-saving answer when you're switching between abrasive grits frequently. Best of all, you can remove and reattach an abrasive that still has a useful service life. Let's say you need to switch to a different grit but the abrarasives on the sheet you're currently using are not fully spent. Simply remove it and reattach later. Hookit ensures that you will get the same secure hold, which is an important advantage compared to pressure sensitive attachment products where the adhesive may be compromised after being removed.

Expand Network, Mainstay Motor Inaugurates Flagship Showroom Hyundai Mampang

 The development of Hyundai's business in Indonesia was also followed by Andalan Motor. As a nationally renowned automotive dealer company, Andalan Motor began 2022 by inaugurating the opening of Hyundai's seventh dealer, hyundai Mampang, Jakarta. This shows the optimism of Motor's flagship towards Hyundai's prospects in Indonesia.

Previously, Andalan Motor has opened Hyundai Sholeh Iskandar dealers in Bogor City, Hyundai City Store (Pondok Indah Mall 3), Hyundai Pancoran (South Jakarta), Hyundai Sawah Besar (Central Jakarta), and Hyundai Leuwipanjang (Bandung). In the future, Andalan will continue to add Hyundai dealers, following the development of products from Hyundai Indonesia. 

Expand Network, Mainstay Motor Inaugurates Flagship Showroom Hyundai Mampang

Hyundai Mampang is located at Jalan Warung Buncit Raya No.203, Mampang, Jakarta. The area of this dealer's land reaches 1,800 square meters, while the building area reaches 2,500 m2, consisting of four floors and one basement.

Hyundai Mampang carries the concept of 3S or sales, service, and spare parts. At this dealership, there are six units of cars on display and eight service bays. Hyundai Mampang is hyundai's flagship flagship showroom and conforms to the full standards of Hyundai Indonesia. Other facilities include two electric vehicle charging stations, a coffeeshop lounge, and Hyundai's spare parts hub.

Managing Director of Andalan Motor Raynaldi Setiawan explained, his party chose Mampang as the location of Hyundai dealers because this area includes the center of Jakarta. In addition, through this dealer, Andalan wants to reach more fleet consumers, because it is close to the office area.

Raynaldi said, the opening of this dealership also aims to respond to the presence of a number of new Hyundai products, including pure electric car Ioniq 5 and multipurpose vehicle (MPV) segment B. So far, MPV B is one of the best-selling car segments in Indonesia.

Creta Sales

"So far, the sales of Hyundai's dealer network are quite good. This is supported by the presence of Creta SUV," Raynaldi said on the sidelines of the opening of Hyundai Mampang, Thursday (1/27/2022).

Despite being Hyundai's latest product for the Indonesian market, creta's welcome is quite good. Present for the first time at the GIIAS 2021 automotive exhibition in November last year, the SUV produced by Hyundai Cikarang factory continues to get booking letters.

This condition is quite interesting. This is because Hyundai itself only produced Creta in February 2022 which means that since it was shown in November, the public only judged Creta from the news in the media. It is recognized by Makmur, COO of PT Hyundai Motors Indonesia.

At the exhibition we get 670s SPK, late December 1,200 spk. Just two days ago it was now above 1,700 SPK. It continues to increase when there are no display and test drive units. This is a testament to indonesian consumers' confidence in Hyundai's first product in Indonesia. We appreciate the people who believe in Hyundai who previously probably knew Hyundai is a premium CBU product," said Makmur on the sidelines of the Hyundai Creta test drive event in Bali, Wednesday (1/26/2022).

Well, along with the opening of Hyundai Mampang, various promos have been prepared. From Creta free booking until the end of January 2022, then free service, and some interesting rewards.

Previously, PT Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (HMMI) has started mass production of Creta at Cikarang plant, Bekasi, West Java, January 2022. In addition to Creta, the plant, which invested $1.5 billion, will produce electric cars and BPV.

Honda Beat CBS Price Cheapest Rp16 Million, Interesting to Move

 Beat scooter is still a mainstay of Astra Honda Motor (AHM) in the lower segment. It became the best-selling manufacturer in Indonesia. It is sold in three different variants, CBS, CBS-ISS and Street. 

The cheapest, CBS without ISS (Idling Stop System) with an offer of Rp16,815,000. Even without the ISS feature, it still appeals to those who want to save a little.

Honda Beat CBS Price Cheapest Rp16 Million, Interesting to Move

Interesting Kelir Options

The colours and stripes on the Beat herd were refreshed last July. Cbs' cheapest variant was also revised. This glossy color variant still has four options, all based on black for the rear body. Consumers can choose between Hard Rock Black, Dance White Black, Techno Blue Black and Funk Red Black.

In addition to the different colors and strips, there is no difference in design between beat CBS and more expensive. Rims, seats and more are exactly the same.

Compact Dimensions

Very compact size is one of the advantages of Beat. Beat dimensions 1,877 x 669 x 1,074 mm (PxLxT), seat height 740 mm and wheelbase 1,256 mm. The size provision is suitable for most Indonesians, even still very friendly for female riders.

Thanks to its size also beat like agile to control. Moreover, it is supported by a new frame that is more sturdy and stable. The use of eSAF (enhanced smart architecture frame) with new technology supports Beat more proficient in its speed and movement. Plus, the empty weight is only 89 kg.

Machine

It's no secret that Beat has an economical value. It certainly means the fuel consumption. The new generation eSP (enhanced smart power) engine can give a figure of up to 60.6 km / liter. Based on the results of internal testing of the ECE R40 method. Imagine, with a fully loaded tank of 4.2 liters can cover a distance of more than 250 km. Of course it will be different in everyday use in the real world. But it can give an idea of the iritnya beat sticks.

The 110 cc SOHC engine claims to be more responsive than the older generation. One reason, the piston diameter is 47 mm and the step length is 63.1 mm and the compression is 10:1. Because the character of overstroke makes the initial pull responsive. Maximum power output of 8.89 hp at 7,500 rpm with the highest torque of 9.3 Nm at 5,500 rpm. Even without the help of the ISS, it can still get the most economical results from what Beat CBS offers.

Full Features

Although the last variant, Beat CBS has a completeness that is not much different from the more expensive option. The main difference is only from the availability of power charger sockets, starting from CBS-ISS. The rest is the same, including led headlights that are power efficient and durable.

The meter panel is a combination of digital and analog. Displays the speedometer, odometer and fuel indicator. Equipped with ECO indicators for more fuel efficient driving results. As a sweetener, the blue background color of the meter panel.

Secure key shutter is present to secure from theft. Equipped with an integrated seat opener that makes it practical. Without having to unplug the key, you can access luggage that has a capacity of 12 liters. It is enough to store many essential objects of a driving buddy.

Not to forget the CBS (combi brake system) feature, combining braking between the front brake with the help of the rear brake. It is safer and more practical to use. While the left brake lever is pinned lock. It can be functioned like a parking brake on a car and is very useful for example stopping at an incline or descent.

Conclusion

Honda Beat CBS is the cheapest. Indeed, just add Rp700 thousand can get Beat with ISS features and charger sockets. But as a cheap segment, that differentiation comes in the count. Not to mention the choice of kelir. The glossy look is more appealing to a number of people. So the Honda Beat CBS remains interesting as a choice.
