Methods to repair oxidized car chrome trim: 1. Use toothpaste for repair, as toothpaste contains antioxidants and decontamination abrasive particles. Apply it with a damp towel, polish, and then wipe it off. 2. Use toilet cleaner, which contains dilute hydrochloric acid that can dissolve the oxides on the chrome trim. After wiping with a towel, clean off any residual acid with a clean, damp towel. 3. Use WD-40 multi-purpose rust preventive. According to official data, it has strong surface affinity and permeability to metal, penetrating into the metal's capillary pores to 100% eliminate moisture and humidity, forming an ultra-thin, dense protective film to isolate humidity and air, effectively solving metal rust problems "from the inside out."

The functions of the ABS system are: 1. To prevent loss of vehicle control, increase braking distance, and improve vehicle safety; 2. To enhance the overall braking performance of the vehicle; 3. To prevent wheel lock-up during braking; 4. To ensure the driver can control the direction during braking and prevent rear axle skidding.

Can Scratched Wheel Hubs Be Repaired?

Scratched wheel hubs can be repaired, either by yourself or at a repair shop. Methods for repairing wheel hubs: Carefully inspect whether the scratch extends to the inner side of the wheel hub. If it can't be simply patched, just use paint thinner to slowly wipe around the bruised area and remove dirt. If the scratch on the wheel is deep and the dirt next to the scratch is difficult to remove, then tools are needed—just a small toothpick can thoroughly clean it. Impact of wheel hub scratches: If the wheel hub is scratched and only the paint is damaged, replacement isn't necessary. Sometimes the scratched area may appear large and seem severe, but it still doesn't require replacement because the performance isn't affected—only the aesthetics are compromised.
