A small white spot appears on the windshield, use a clean cloth dipped in toothpaste and apply more force to rub the spot. Here are the methods to repair small white spots on the windshield: 1. For dense small white spots on the car windshield, you can purchase and use a specialized tar remover, or use paint thinner, commonly known as banana oil. Additionally, gasoline can effectively remove paint stains—dip a towel in it and wipe. Alternatively, you can purchase and use car clay, which can act as a polishing agent when rubbed on the glass. 2. For repairing small white spots on the front windshield, the best approach is to have it treated at a professional auto beauty shop. If the front windshield surface is blurry with stains, polishing can be performed to remove surface pores and stains, restoring the glass to its original clarity. If there are cracks on the front windshield, small cracks can be repaired by using repair tools to fill the cracks with repair fluid. Once the repair fluid solidifies, it can conceal the damage and prevent further cracking, serving a repair function. However, if the cracks are large, they cannot be repaired, and the glass will need to be replaced.

Having driven for many years, I have a deep understanding of the small white spots on the windshield. These spots are usually caused by flying stones or debris. If not treated in time, they can easily expand into cracks when the weather changes. Repairing them is actually quite simple: buy a windshield repair kit, which costs anywhere from tens to a hundred yuan. When operating, first clean the spot, fill it with the resin from the kit, and then harden it with a UV lamp. The entire process should be done in the shade—avoid operating under direct sunlight, as it will reduce effectiveness. After repair, the spot is almost invisible, saving the cost of replacing the entire glass. For prevention, maintain a safe distance while driving and avoid tailgating. I remember once on the highway, a stone caused a small spot, and I repaired it that same night—the glass remains intact to this day. I recommend everyone try DIY repair; it’s much better than waiting for it to worsen.

I'm a hands-on person, and fixing small windshield chips is a piece of cake for me. You'll need a repair kit that includes cleaner, resin injector, and UV lamp. The steps are: first clean the damaged spot to ensure no dust remains, then squeeze resin to fill it. After the resin penetrates, use the lamp to cure it for about 10 minutes. The small chip will disappear after repair, without affecting driving visibility. If left untreated, the chip may expand due to thermal expansion and contraction, potentially obstructing vision and posing risks. DIY costs are low, and you can finish the job yourself within 30 minutes. I recommend choosing a high-quality kit to avoid incomplete resin curing. Fixing such small chips can also extend the windshield's lifespan, saving money and hassle.

Don't ignore those small white spots on your windshield. I usually fix them with a repair kit. Just clean the spot, inject liquid resin, and cure it with a UV light. The spot disappears after repair. If left untreated, it may crack in winter, obstructing your vision while driving, which is very dangerous. So it's safer to address it early.

The steps for repairing small chips are clear. First, clean the glass surface to ensure the chip area is free of dirt. Then, inject the resin from the kit to fill the chip. Next, use a UV lamp to cure the resin, which takes about 10-15 minutes. After curing, smooth the surface. The entire process can be done at home, saving time and effort. If the chip is too large or deep, avoid DIY attempts to prevent poor results; it's better to seek professional service. After repair, the glass will look good and remain safe. I recommend regularly checking the windshield and addressing any issues promptly.

How to Shift from D to S Gear in an Automatic Transmission?

Shifting between D and S gears is not affected by vehicle speed or road conditions, nor does it require braking, and can be done at any time. Here is relevant information: 1. The automatic transmission D/S typically represents the shift between D and S gears. The so-called D gear is the drive gear, an abbreviation of the English word 'Drive'. When the gear lever is moved to this position, the transmission automatically shifts up or down within the engine speed range, with the shift point depending on engine load, the driver's driving style, and vehicle speed. 2. The S gear is the sport mode of the D gear, offering more powerful output. In sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but shifting is delayed, keeping the engine at high speeds for a longer time, thereby increasing vehicle power. 3. The D gear is the most commonly used driving position. It's important to note that since the automatic transmission determines the gear based on throttle size and vehicle speed, the method of operating the accelerator pedal affects the shifting speed. If the accelerator pedal is pressed quickly at startup, upshifting is delayed, enhancing acceleration capability. Once a certain speed is reached, quickly releasing the accelerator pedal allows the car to upshift immediately, resulting in reduced engine noise and improved comfort.

What Causes Intermittent Air Conditioning Failure in BMW 5 Series?

BMW 5 Series air conditioning intermittent cooling failure may be caused by refrigerant leakage, internal damage to the air conditioning pump, or excessively dirty condenser fins. Refrigerant Leakage: Prolonged use of car air conditioning can deplete the refrigerant, leading to insufficient cooling and affecting the air conditioning performance. Automotive air conditioning refrigerant leakage. Once the refrigerant leaks and is depleted, both the internal and external units of the car's air conditioning system will operate normally, but there will be no cooling effect, resulting in the air conditioning not cooling. Solution: Inspect the leaking components and add refrigerant along with fluorescent dye. Internal Damage to Air Conditioning Pump: This prevents the cooling effect from starting, and a damaged air conditioning pump usually produces abnormal noises. Solution: Inspect and replace the air conditioning pump. Excessively Dirty Condenser Fins: This causes the air conditioning system's pressure and temperature to rise too high. To protect the system, the air conditioning pump stops working, resulting in no cooling. Solution: Use a high-pressure water gun to clean the condenser fins, then dry them with a high-pressure air gun.

What should be the tire pressure for the Buick Excelle?

The normal tire pressure range for the Buick Excelle is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. Method to check tire pressure in the Buick Excelle: Press the MENU button to switch to the vehicle information menu. If the overspeed alarm is displayed, rotate the knob at the top of the left lever to the tire pressure monitoring information to view the pressure of all four tires. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure. The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring not reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate. Simply reset the tire pressure in this situation. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged while driving, the tire pressure warning light will also come on. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.
