New owner 3 questions!
1. Are there any USB ports for rear seat passengers to charge their phones?
2. How do you get rid of a kind of spotting on the chrome trim around one of the windows? 3. How do you stop your brake discs from having a rust coloured coating on them? Many thanks in advance! Last edited by Chuckyarla; 05-23-2020 at 01:23 PM.. |

2. I don’t really know I have the same problem actually, wax may fix it..? 3. I would suggest some more spirited driving and more braking although I don’t use the car too much right now so mine have rust too |

For 2. Try a mild polish, such as Autoglym Super Resin Polish, or toothpaste..

Not sure if it will work on chrome but I have the black trim on my cars and believe it or not but rain x got the water spots out on the windows and the trim my spots comes from my sprinkler system in my yard maybe worth a shot for u

Here are my replies to your queries: 1. I have 2 USB ports in the back. If you only have a lighter socket in the back get a flat usb from Ebay for 1-2 euros. 2. MY 740 is shadow black and I have no chrome anywhere. On my work car I use Various products here: Meguiar's, Simoniz, Autoglym, Autosol. 3. CRC brake cleaner. got it from Costco. |

Underneath the rear climate control, there is a place for ur phone and then underneath that there is a trim piece with a little chrome top. Press that and it will come down and reveal 2 cigarette lighter ports. Check out this link it should show it at the very bottom. https://m.atcdn.co.uk/a/media/w1024/...c47e8b4837.jpg
