I often see moisture inside the lenses in the headlights of my Maserati GranTurismo. And while it's not causing any real problem, it can be a sore in the eyes, and I'm worried that it might be causing obstruction and reduction in the amount of beams that my headlights give off to illuminate the road. What can I do about this?

A certain amount of condensation inside the headlight is actually normal because of the temperature difference between the air inside and outside the light, as well as the changes in the temperature around. Any condensation inside the headlight should evaporate after a while, as the temperature outside the unit climbs. If the condensation in your car headlight is almost always there, then this could indicate a problem in the said component. Check the rubber seals around the headlights for leaks. Carefully inspect the lenses to see if there's any crack or tear that might be causing the condensation. The vents should also be inspected. If they're clogged, then the clog could be trapping the water or moisture inside the headlight unit. Check all of these and address the cause as soon as you find it.

Is it legal to mount my car GPS on the windshield? And if it is not, what are the mounting alternatives for the GPS?

Some drivers mount their GPS on the windshield via a suction cup. However, not only is this cup not a very reliable holder but windshield mounting of GPS is illegal in more than half of the states in the US. This is because they can severely obstruct the vision of the driver when on the road. There are also a few states that allow windshield mounting of GPS, but this is subject to specific state regulations. You can check the laws in your specific state to determine whether you can do this or not. The best alternatives to windshield mounting of the GPS are in the dashboard and console mount. These will ensure that the device will be accessible while not causing any obstruction or distraction during the drive.

I just replaced some of the fuel injectors in my Maserati GranTurismo because of damage, and my mechanic suggested adding fuel injector cleaners to my fuel to prevent the same problems happening in the future. What exactly is this kind of fuel additive, and how does it work?

Fuel injector cleaners primarily address the problem with carbon deposits forming in and clogging the injectors. This was probably the problem you had in the injectors that you replaced. Most cleaners will prevent the formation of carbon deposits, while others (especially those formulated for high-end function) can actually remove any carbon deposit that has already formed—not only from the injectors but also from the cylinder head. Another way you can keep the fuel system clean is to ensure that you get only fuel of premium grade. You can also go for regular hydrogen treatment to keep the injectors clean and prevent any possible fuel injector problems.
