Meguairs G220 (220v) - Changing the Carbon Brushes

Seems that a few of the EU and Asian members were looking for carbon brushes and also a "how to" in changing them. So I got some free time today and decided to help out the members here.

Been looking around for alternatives for the carbon brush and managed to source them locally. Equivalent to the original ones (dimension wise) but not 100% sure on the composition of the carbon though. -

Caveat: I am not a trained electrician so use this only as a reference. I am not going to be responsible for any damage caused at your side.

Wished we had a Meguiar's service center here in Malaysia.



Difficulty Level: Basic electrical knowledge

Time Required: 15 Minutes or so.

Things you need.

1. Phillips screwdriver

(there are other makers of brushes out there [dewalt,hitachi,makita] but I only managed to source them from Bosch Repair Centre - nearest to me)

Detailed : KIA FORTE 2.0 Ebony BLACK

A very kind gentlemen was very keen in getting his newly acquired car, properly detailed. When we met, the car looks glossy indeed and what seems to be a simple exterior detail became quite a challenge for me.

The work on this car endured for 3 days (at least 35hours) to complete the overall work.

A very nice car here and he managed to get his hands on an awesome 2.0 version.

Odo was still at 5K kilometers and even the inside plastic coverings were still on.
