Methods to repair scratches caused by car keys: If the primer is exposed, repainting is required, or you can purchase a touch-up paint pen and apply a similar color to cover it; if the scratch is not deep, polishing may suffice. A car key refers to the tool used to operate a vehicle. Modern car keys utilize chips, which are part of a magnetic chip system. The ignition lock cylinder's reading coil reads the chip in the key, as each chip contains fixed digital information. Passenger vehicles are primarily designed and technically configured for transporting passengers and their personal belongings or temporary items, with a maximum seating capacity of nine, including the driver's seat.

I had my car scratched before, and it was heartbreaking. If the scratch is very shallow, toothpaste or scratch wax can fix it. First, clean and dry the scratched area, apply some toothpaste or scratch wax, then rub it vigorously in circles with a soft cloth, and finally apply some car wax for protection. If the primer is exposed, don’t try to fix it yourself—you’ll need a paint touch-up. Online, touch-up pens cost around twenty yuan each, but make sure to match the color code to your car model. Apply a thin layer, let it dry, and then apply another layer to avoid runs from being too thick. If a large area is scratched or the metal is exposed, it’s best to go directly to a professional repair shop—they have the right equipment to spray paint without color mismatch. For scratches on plastic parts, rust isn’t a concern, but if it bothers you, you can cover it with a stylish sticker.

What are the causes of high temperature in a car radiator?

The causes of high temperature in a car radiator are: 1. Radiator leakage or lack of coolant, preventing the engine heat from dissipating and the temperature from being reduced in time; 2. Deterioration of the coolant, leading to a decrease in boiling point parameters, affecting the cooling effect or reducing anti-rust quality, causing blockages in the radiator circulation pipes; 3. High ambient temperature, air conditioning overload operation, or radiator component failure; 4. Electronic fan failure, resulting in insufficient fan speed. The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component in the car's cooling system. Its function is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to dissipate the heat, and then returns to the water jacket in a continuous cycle.
