Car body dents can be repaired. Generally, the larger the dent, the longer the repair time will take. Different degrees of dents require different repair methods. Repair Methods for Minor Dents: Minor dents are surface damage where only the metal panel is dented, and the paint is not damaged. Special hooks can be used to pry out the dent, followed by tapping it back into place with a rubber hammer and smoothing it out. This method causes minimal damage to the car's paint. Alternatively, car owners can use suction rods or bridge-type dent repair tools. Fix the suction cup to the car body, place the suction rod on top of the small suction cup, and pull it up forcefully. Then, gradually move the suction cup and repeat the pulling process. When using a bridge-type dent repair tool, fix two suction cups on either side of the dent, apply strong adhesive to the dent, and once the adhesive is set, use its pulling force to restore the dent to its original shape. Repair Methods for Moderate Dents: Moderate dents involve damage to surface components and the paint, but the underlying frame remains intact. In such cases, repairs must be done at a professional panel beating and painting facility. Repair Methods for Severe Dents: Severe dents often come with damage to the vehicle's frame, requiring replacement of the affected parts followed by a full-body repaint.

Where is the child lock located in the car?

Child locks are typically located in the window button area on the driver's side door or on the inner edge of the rear doors. How to use: To activate the child safety lock, first open the rear door, gently push the small lever below the door lock in the direction of the child icon, then close the door. The function is that when the child safety device is in the locked state, the door can only be opened from the outside, and the inner door handle temporarily loses its ability to open the door. Additional information: When the car child safety lock is in the locked state, it will remain locked even if the central locking system is unlocked. The door can only be opened from the outside. If you find that the rear door cannot be opened from inside the vehicle while it opens normally from the outside, you should check whether the child safety lock has been accidentally activated.

Will rain affect a newly replaced windshield?

Rain can affect a newly replaced windshield, particularly its sealing performance. Normally, the windshield should not come into contact with water within three days after replacement. Do not wash the car within three days after replacing the windshield. Remove the tape fixing the windshield position after three days. Try to avoid driving on excessively bumpy roads, sudden braking, or rapid acceleration to prevent the windshield from shifting. Do not insert parking permits or other cards into the gap between the windshield and the dashboard. Avoid driving on highways and keep the speed below 80 km/h. Do not apply window tint within seven days. After rear windshield replacement, avoid opening windows while driving for three days to prevent the rear windshield from shifting due to wind pressure. Windshield maintenance tips: Use dedicated or suitable wiper blades and replace them promptly (usually once a year) to prevent scratching the windshield. Keep the windshield clean; if debris is stuck, avoid using the wipers and carefully remove it with a towel or other tools. Use automotive-specific glass cleaner to maintain clear visibility, increase lubrication, and reduce wear on the windshield. Before using the wipers during rain, wipe off dust and other particles to minimize the risk of scratching the windshield. When attaching labels or stickers to the windshield, use static cling film to avoid accidentally scratching the windshield when removing adhesive residues.

Engine carbon cleaner is composed of high-efficiency surfactants, detergents, corrosion inhibitors, and other additives, appearing as a colorless transparent liquid. It is diluted with water at a concentration of 3-6% during use. Currently, there are generally two methods for cleaning carbon deposits on the market. The first method: Using a related machine connected to the engine's intake pipe to inject the cleaning solution. The solution participates in combustion along with the engine, with gasoline as the main component and the cleaner as an auxiliary.

Is there a time limit for retaking the subject one test after deducting 12 points?

There is a time limit for retaking the subject one test after deducting 12 points. If a driver's license is deducted 12 points, the license will be confiscated. To retake the test and retrieve the driver's license, the driver must attend a 7-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department within 15 days. Within 20 days after completing the study session, the driver must take the subject one test. Only after passing the test can the points be cleared and the driver's license returned. If the driver fails to attend the study session at the designated place within the specified time, it is best to consult the traffic management department to explain the reason for not participating in the study session and then apply to take the test to retrieve the driver's license. Subject one test content: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; basic knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; basic knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. Test process: Follow the staff's instructions and collect your driving school file in order in the waiting area; Carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off when entering the test area; No loud noise is allowed in the test area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the test area (or must be placed in a bag); After the test, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Submission Window" at the front of the test area; Candidates who pass the test will sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit of the test area and then leave; Candidates who fail the test can leave the test area and wait for the driving school staff to notify them of the retake time.

Will Not Going to the 4S Store After the First Maintenance Affect the Warranty?

Not going to the 4S store after the first maintenance will not affect the warranty. Specific explanation: If the car is under warranty and has not been repaired or maintained at a 4S store, the car will not lose its warranty opportunity. In other words, after the first maintenance, if you go to an external repair shop for maintenance, the car can still enjoy the warranty provided by the 4S store. If you always maintain the car at a 4S store, some warranty processes are relatively simple and do not require too many other operations. However, maintenance at an external repair shop will be relatively more complicated. Related knowledge about car warranty: If some minor parts or parts unrelated to where the maintenance is performed have problems, as long as it is confirmed that the damage was not caused by maintenance at the repair shop, there is no doubt that the 4S store will definitely provide the warranty. This is because these parts have nothing to do with where or when the maintenance is performed, so the 4S store naturally has no reason to refuse.
