To repair scratched paint on a car, pour some medicated oil onto a soft cloth and repeatedly wipe the scratched area. Introduction to car paint: Automotive paint primarily serves to protect the car body from corrosion and enhance its aesthetic appeal. It is also a way for many car owners to express their individuality. Automotive paint is generally a type of baked enamel. It typically consists of four basic components: film-forming substances, pigments, solvents, and additives. The film-forming substance is the main component of the paint, responsible for keeping the pigments bright and intact. Methods for maintaining car paint: Regular car washing; waxing helps prevent oxidation, isolates static electricity, and improves the brightness of the paint surface, keeping dust and harmful gases away from the paint. Crystal coating involves applying a high-molecular film with high hardness and smoothness to the car's surface, which solidifies and protects the paint. Glazing penetrates the paint to form a mesh-like protective film, enhancing the paint's durability.

Can You Make a U-turn at a Highway Toll Station?

U-turns are not allowed before the toll station at highway exits. Not only is it prohibited for motor vehicles to make U-turns on the main lanes of highways, but it is also strictly forbidden on ramps and within the toll plaza area. Making a U-turn at any section of the highway will result in a one-time deduction of 12 points. Below is relevant information about U-turns on highways: 1. For moving vehicles: Vehicles driving normally may not realize you are reversing, leading to rear-end collisions or even chain-reaction accidents. 2. Driving regulations: Highways are designed for one-way traffic. 3. Key considerations: U-turns disrupt the normal flow of other vehicles, endanger highway traffic order, and occupy other lanes. It is recommended to plan your route in advance, memorize highway exits and junctions, and pay attention to highway signs. 4. Correct approach: If you realize you've taken the wrong route, proceed to the next exit to leave the highway and then return. Do not reverse or drive against the traffic.

What should be noted when adding water to the car radiator?

Special radiator coolant or qualified antifreeze must be added to the car radiator. When selecting radiator coolant or antifreeze, it is advisable to choose high-quality diluted radiator coolant or antifreeze. In case of unexpected water shortage, tap water can be supplemented to prevent unnecessary losses caused by water shortage. Moreover, both special radiator coolant and antifreeze offer freeze and boil protection, which water cannot match. Below is more relevant information: Precautions: 1. The radiator should not be filled too full. If water is added and too much or even full, it will cause a large amount of overflow due to "thermal expansion," leaving many water marks and scale on the surface. Additionally, adding water can produce scale in the cooling system, clogging pipes, affecting heat dissipation, and damaging the engine. Furthermore, the optimal operating temperature range for most car engines is 75-90℃; temperatures higher or lower are not conducive to engine performance. 2. The liquid level in the radiator should be kept between the min and max marks. If it is below the min mark, it needs to be topped up, and the same brand and specification of coolant must be added; otherwise, a complete replacement is necessary. The choice of coolant is mainly determined by the local minimum temperature, and it is generally all-season when leaving the factory. If the radiator does not leak, it may not need water added all year, but regular checks are still required. As long as there is no leakage, the level will hardly decrease, and there is no standard for how much to add. The water in the car radiator is antifreeze, which has functions of freeze protection, rust prevention, and boil prevention. 3. If water is added, the radiator can be cleaned once after tens of thousands of kilometers, during which the coolant can be replaced. If coolant is added, it needs to be replaced every two years. Nowadays, there are many high-quality long-lasting antifreeze products, and regular top-ups are sufficient. When cleaning the radiator after tens of thousands of kilometers, it can be replaced once.

What does it mean when a red light flashes after locking the car?

It is normal for a red light to flash after locking the car. This is the car key light, and if the car engine anti-theft light flashes at a frequency of once every 1 to 2 seconds, it is normal. The flashing indicates that the car has entered the anti-theft state, and the engine anti-theft system has started to function. After the car anti-theft lock is activated, the owner does not need to deactivate it, and the power consumption of the anti-theft light is extremely minimal for the car battery, so there is no need to worry about excessive power consumption. Most cars are equipped with an anti-theft system, which is very important for the vehicle. With the advancement of technology, the anti-theft systems in cars have become increasingly sophisticated, making it more difficult for criminals to successfully steal a car.
