Cleaning methods are as follows: 1. First, rinse the dirt on the car body with water or car wash solution. Then, use a pre-soaked clay bar with warm water, gently wiping the paint while spraying water. Avoid applying too much pressure to prevent small particles from scratching the paint. 2. Stop the operation once the surface becomes smooth again. After using the clay bar, it's recommended to apply a layer of wax. Since the clay bar reveals the paint's original color, waxing not only protects the paint but also enhances its gloss. If the paint gets accidentally scratched during clay bar use, waxing becomes even more essential.

What is the reason why the remote key cannot open the trunk?

The reason the remote key cannot open the trunk is insufficient power of the remote, resulting in a weak signal that the receiver cannot detect. The basic components of a remote key consist of the following two points: 1. Transmitter: Composed of a transmission switch, transmission antenna, integrated circuit, etc., it contains an identification code storage circuit and an amplitude modulation circuit, with a button-type lithium battery installed on the opposite side of the circuit. The transmission frequency uses radio waves, and pressing the transmission switch button once sends a signal. 2. Receiver: After the transmitter sends the identification code using shortwave modulation, it is received by the car's shortwave antenna and enters the shortwave high-frequency amplification processor of the receiver's electronic control unit via a distributor for demodulation, where it is compared with the demodulator's identification code.

Check whether the charging valve is qualified. The use of inferior charging valves is prohibited. 3. Connect the high and low pressure pipes of the air conditioning system to the red and blue pipes on the air conditioning pressure gauge device. Then, connect the yellow pipe on the device to the vacuum machine for vacuuming. 4. Turn off the vacuum machine and remove the high pressure pipe. 5. Shake the bottle up and down before use to ensure the contents are evenly mixed. Add an appropriate amount of refrigerant oil from the compressor service port as needed.

How to Turn on the Defogger for the Front Windshield?

The method to turn on the defogger for the front windshield is: Press the front windshield defogging button, and the air will blow directly onto the glass, effectively removing the fog. A fan-shaped symbol indicates the front window defogger and defroster, while a rectangular symbol indicates the rear window defogger and defroster. The reason for fogging on the glass is simple: it's due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle acting on the windshield. When the temperature inside the cabin is higher than outside, moisture inside the cabin condenses on the inner surface of the windshield, forming fog. This phenomenon is more common in winter. If not handled properly, it can severely affect driving and even lead to accidents. Besides using the defogger button, you can also use a defogging agent for the windows, which is available online or at car wash locations.
