Polishing is useful for car scratches, and its functions are: 1. To make the paint surface smooth and shiny; 2. To effectively remove dirt and corrosion; 3. To restore the cleanliness of the paint surface. Polishing refers to the processing method that uses mechanical, chemical, or electrochemical action to reduce the surface roughness of the workpiece to obtain a bright and flat surface. The steps of polishing are: 1. Use a cleaning agent to wash the entire car; 2. Use water sandpaper to sand the scratched area; 3. Use a mechanical grinder with coarse polishing paste to roughly grind the marks left by the water sandpaper; 4. After rough grinding, add polishing paste for fine polishing; 5. Use a mechanical polisher with a mirror finish agent to remove the swirl marks left by the coarse polishing paste; 6. After polishing, wipe off the polishing paste, use cotton yarn dipped in polishing wax to polish the area, and then use dry cotton yarn to wipe off the excess polishing wax.

Where is the car OBD interface located?

The OBD interface of a car is generally located in the interior trim panel below the steering wheel, near the driver's knee area. Here is some relevant information about the car OBD: 1. How the car OBD works: The OBD system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's exhaust emissions exceed the standard. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. When a system failure occurs, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine warning light will illuminate, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will store the fault information in memory. The fault code can be read from the PCM through a specific procedure. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. 2. The style of the car OBD interface: The OBD interface is generally a 16-pin female connector, trapezoidal in shape. Some vehicle models have a protective cover over the OBD port. Common OBD interface colors are black, white, or blue.

Is 4H High-Speed Four-Wheel Drive or Low-Speed Four-Wheel Drive?

4H is high-speed four-wheel drive. Here are the relevant details: 1. Slippery roads: If driving on snow or slippery surfaces, using 4H mode is highly suitable, as it ensures sufficient drive wheels while avoiding excessive driving force that could cause wheel slippage. 2. Climbing: Due to its high driving force, 4L mode is ideal for climbing slopes or off-road conditions, maximizing the vehicle's power. 3. High-speed: High-speed four-wheel drive is not suitable for highway driving. For part-time four-wheel-drive vehicles, dry paved roads are not appropriate for 4H or 4L modes; only 2H mode should be selected.
