Here are the methods to deal with minor car scratches: 1. Plastic parts scratches: For areas like bumpers, rearview mirrors, and wheel arches, since they are made of plastic and won't rust, it's not a big deal if you don't repaint minor scratches. Alternatively, you can use a touch-up pen or a small spray can to repair the scratches yourself. 2. Steel panel scratches: For minor scratches on the car's steel body panels, touch-up pens or spray cans can be used for a quick and convenient fix. 3. Primer scratches: If the steel panel is scratched to the point where the underlying primer color is visible, it's necessary to take the car to a repair shop for repainting. Because even a small scratch can cause the steel panel to start rusting. To minimize color discrepancies, the repair shop will often repaint the entire panel, even if only a small area needs touch-up.

How to Identify Whether a New Car is Genuine?

Here are several methods to identify whether a new car is genuine: 1. Check the nameplate on the co-pilot side, which indicates the production date: for domestically produced cars, it should not exceed 3 months, and for imported cars, it should not exceed six months; otherwise, it is a stock car. 2. Check the odometer, which should not exceed 50 kilometers: if you suspect the 4S store has tampered with the odometer, feel the exhaust pipe with your hand to see if there are any black marks, as their presence indicates the car has been driven more than 50 kilometers. 3. Inspect the production date of the tires: there are four consecutive numbers on the tire, the first two digits represent the week of production, i.e., the week of the year it was produced, and the last two digits represent the year.

What Causes Body Shaking Upon Startup?

Reasons for body shaking upon startup are as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup. When there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts, making it difficult to start and causing shaking. 2. Ignition system issues. Poor performance of the ignition system, such as weak spark plug firing, can lead to severe shaking during cold starts. 3. Unstable fuel pressure. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can all cause body shaking. 4. Aging engine components. Worn-out components can lead to engine mount problems, transmitting these vibrations to the steering wheel and cabin, causing shaking during idle.

What are the techniques for driving an automatic transmission car into an underground garage?

Techniques for driving an automatic transmission car into an underground garage: 1. When approaching the parking space, you can drive forward, keeping the car about 50 centimeters away from the outer edge line of the parking space; 2. Stop when the car's B-pillar reaches the middle of the second adjacent parking space, then turn the steering wheel fully to the left or right and start reversing into the space; 3. During the reversing process, maintain a slow speed and pay attention to the surroundings. When the car body is roughly parallel to the parking space, quickly straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing; 4. When parking, ensure the vehicle is completely within your own parking space and does not obstruct other vehicles' parking or movement. Since each car has a different wheelbase, the distance to drive forward will vary, requiring gradual practice to find the appropriate distance.
