Clean with an alkaline solution to remove the oxide film that has absorbed dirt. After removal, rinse several times in distilled water. Soak in dilute acid or alkali, and immediately remove and rinse with water when gas is generated. Sandpaper can also be used for polishing. Perform necessary cleaning on the surface of the product to expose a pure metal substrate, facilitating smooth oxidation coloring and obtaining an artificial film with good properties such as wear resistance. Use a low-concentration alkaline solution, around 35%, and ensure proper protection before cleaning.

Which One is the Brake and Which One is the Accelerator?

Brake and accelerator positions vary depending on the vehicle model: 1. In automatic transmission vehicles, the left pedal is the brake, and the right pedal is the accelerator; 2. In manual transmission vehicles, the middle pedal is the brake, and the right pedal is the accelerator.

Is ETC unnecessary if I don't drive on highways?

ETC is unnecessary if you don't drive on highways. ETC, or Electronic Toll Collection, is a system that enables vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping. It uses onboard equipment to identify vehicles, record information, and automatically deduct the corresponding funds from a pre-bound IC card or bank card. ETC is a road toll method specifically designed for toll roads, commonly found on highways, bridges or tunnels with toll policies, and certain sections of urban centers to alleviate traffic congestion. To unbind a vehicle from an ETC card: Bring the vehicle owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, ETC card, and OBU device to an ETC service center for removal, then use the removal certificate issued by the ETC service center to terminate the contract at the contracted bank.

Do I Need to Change Tires When Replacing Car Rims?

Whether you need to change tires when replacing car rims depends on the situation: 1. If you replace with rims of the same model, there is no need to change the tires; 2. If you replace with rims of a different model, you need to change the tires to match the new rims. The maintenance methods for rims are: 1. When the vehicle is in a humid area, the rims should be cleaned frequently to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface; 2. If necessary, after cleaning, you can wax the rims to maintain their luster; 3. When the rims are at a high temperature, let them cool naturally before cleaning. Do not use cold water to clean them, as it may damage the aluminum rims, deform the brake discs, and affect braking performance. Using detergent to clean the rims may cause chemical reactions on the surface and result in loss of luster.
