Brake dust needs to be removed with professional cleaning agents and brushes. If you want to remove brake dust, it is recommended to go to a professional car cleaning facility. It is normal to have brake dust on the rims, as some powder will fall off during the friction process between the brake pads and the brake discs. Here are the methods for selecting brake pads: 1. First, look at the friction coefficient. The friction coefficient determines the basic braking torque of the brake pads. If it is too high, it can cause the wheels to lock up during braking, loss of directional control, and burning of the pads. If it is too low, the braking distance will be too long. 2. Consider safety. Brake pads generate instantaneous high temperatures during braking, especially during high-speed driving or emergency braking. In high-temperature conditions, the friction coefficient of the friction material will decrease. 3. Check for comfort, including braking feel, noise, dust, smoke, and odor, which are direct reflections of friction performance. 4. Look at lifespan. Typically, brake pads can guarantee a service life of 30,000 kilometers.

Can I roll down the windows 24 hours after car window tinting?

You should not roll down the windows 24 hours after car window tinting. It is recommended to avoid raising or lowering the windows for a week after tinting (minimum 7 days, maximum 15 days), as the film has not fully dried between the glass and may shift. Additionally, do not use the defroster for the windshield in a short time, avoid directing air conditioning vents straight at the windows, and refrain from hanging objects on the windows for a week. Precautions for car window tinting: 1. Do not pick at the edges of the tint film near the window corners to prevent dirt from entering; 2. If bubbles are found, have them addressed at a car detailing shop within 24 hours; 3. Avoid sticking adhesive labels (such as compulsory insurance stickers or inspection stickers) directly onto the tint film; 4. Try to avoid washing the car within three days after tinting to prevent the film from peeling off due to moisture.

What are the causes of Nissan CAN communication circuit failure?

Nissan CAN bus system failures are generally caused by the following three reasons: 1. Faults caused by the vehicle power supply system: The operating voltage of automotive electronic control modules is typically between 10.5-15.0V. If the power supply system provides abnormal operating voltage, it may cause temporary malfunctions in certain electronic control modules, leading to communication issues in the entire CAN bus system. 2. Link faults in the vehicle CAN bus system: Short circuits, open circuits, or physical changes in communication lines that cause signal attenuation or distortion can result in multiple electronic control units malfunctioning, rendering the CAN bus system inoperable. 3. Node faults in the vehicle CAN bus system: Nodes are electronic control modules in the CAN bus system, so node faults refer to faults in these modules. This includes software faults, such as defects or conflicts in transmission protocols or software programs, which can cause communication chaos or system failure, often occurring in batches; hardware faults usually involve failures in the electronic control module chips or integrated circuits, preventing the CAN bus system from functioning properly.

What is the Difference Between Soft Enclosure Floor Mats and Full Enclosure Floor Mats?

The difference between soft enclosure floor mats and full enclosure floor mats is that soft enclosure floor mats are an upgraded version based on full enclosure car floor mats. Currently, the installation of soft enclosure floor mats can be more troublesome and usually requires a professional at a car detailing shop to install them. Below is some relevant information about car floor mats: 1. Material: Floor mat materials include plastic, rubber, leather, etc. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, with leather/rubber being the mainstream choices for purchase. 2. Classification: Floor mats are divided into single-piece and full enclosure types, with full enclosure floor mats further categorized by whether they cover the door sill. When purchasing car floor mats, it is important to clearly understand the coverage, but note that more coverage is not necessarily better. 3. Purchasing Considerations: It is best to choose double-layer floor mats so that the top layer can be removed for cleaning. Before purchasing, communicate with the seller to confirm whether the style is detachable.

What Causes Weak Braking?

Experiencing weak braking is most likely due to a loss of pressure in the transmission pipeline that provides the braking force. This issue is difficult to resolve on your own. It is best to drive the car to a repair shop for inspection and repair. Otherwise, the consequences could be quite severe. Here is some relevant information about car brakes: 1. Function of Brake Pads: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking largely depends on the brake pads. 2. Composition of Brake Pads: Brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution during coating meets quality standards. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conductive materials to provide thermal insulation.

What is the reason why the Buick Excelle key cannot be turned and the car won't start?

Buick Excelle key cannot be turned and the car won't start because the teeth of the key are excessively worn, preventing the spring leaves from being lifted, which makes it impossible to turn. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Reason: The teeth on the Buick Excelle key, commonly known as "dog teeth," experience slight wear with each turn. Over time, the tips of the teeth gradually become blunt, making them insufficient to lift the internal spring leaves. If the spring leaves cannot be lifted, the key naturally cannot be turned. 2. Solution: In this situation, you can only use the spare key to start the car, and it is necessary to quickly make a new key using the spare key. Otherwise, if the spare key is also damaged, the entire key system will need to be replaced. To avoid damaging the key, please do not drop the key; do not get the key wet; do not expose the key to any type of magnetic field; and do not expose the key to high-temperature environments, such as the dashboard or engine hood, or direct sunlight.
