Is the white showing through a black car the primer?

Normally, if white is showing through a black car, it is the primer. Correspondingly, if black is showing through a white car, it is also the primer. It is recommended to check the vehicle's user manual, which will provide relevant information. Bumper primer: The primer for front and rear bumpers, if made of plastic, is black; if not made of plastic, there is no primer. Body and door primer: As for the body and doors, basically any color that differs from the body color is the primer. Related knowledge about car paint: The primer for plastic bumpers is different from that of the car body, as the body uses electrophoresis. Waxing can only increase the smoothness of the paint surface and provides minimal protection to the paint film, but it cannot achieve the effect of repainting.

Does a Car Cover Need Waxing?

While a car cover can minimize the need for additional paint care, waxing is still recommended when possible. Although an invisible car cover reduces the necessity for extra paint maintenance, waxing enhances the cover's anti-stain properties, preventing dust and other contaminants from adhering to it, thereby improving both performance and appearance. Below are the functions of a car cover and precautions to take after installation: Functions of a Car Cover: An invisible car cover primarily protects against dust and acid rain while enhancing aesthetic appeal. Its inherent corrosion resistance is stronger than that of waxing. However, acid rain, insect remains, bird droppings, and accumulated dirt can gradually erode the invisible car cover, affecting the vehicle's surface shine. Therefore, even with a car cover, regular cleaning is essential. For frequent use, washing the car once a month is advised, while less frequent use requires cleaning at least every six months. Precautions After Installing a Car Cover: For the first three days after applying an invisible car cover, avoid waxing or permanent polishing. It is generally sufficient to wax the cover once every two months thereafter.

What Does the Wrench Warning Light Mean?

The wrench warning light is a maintenance indicator, reminding you that it's time for maintenance. Below are the car maintenance intervals and maintenance items: Car Maintenance Intervals: The maintenance interval is preset when the vehicle leaves the factory, so the "small wrench" light will appear after a certain mileage, reminding the driver to perform maintenance in time. Typically, the maintenance interval is every 5,000-8,000 kilometers, while the factory-set interval is slightly longer than 8,000 kilometers. After maintenance, the warning light needs to be reset following a specific procedure to turn it off. If the light remains on after maintenance, simply reset it. Routine Maintenance Items: Engine Oil Maintenance: Engine oil, also known as lubricating oil, helps reduce engine wear and provides cooling and lubrication. There are three types of engine oil: Full Synthetic Oil: Replace every 10,000-12,000 kilometers. If the car is not driven frequently, the oil may emulsify and lose effectiveness, requiring replacement after about a year. Semi-Synthetic Oil: Replace every 8,000-10,000 kilometers. Mineral Oil: Replace every 5,000 kilometers.

Where Could the Problem of Car Resonance Be?

Car resonance can be caused by aging rubber in engine mounts, engine misfire, or deformation/improper installation of the engine guard plate. Below are detailed explanations: Aging Rubber in Engine Mounts: If the car has been used for a long time, the high-temperature fatigue aging of the rubber in engine mounts can easily cause resonance, and in severe cases, there may even be bumping and friction noises. Engine Misfire: Engine misfire can also cause resonance in the engine. Deformation or Improper Installation of the Engine Guard Plate: Resonance caused by deformation or improper installation of the engine guard plate is relatively common and easy to resolve.
