Car tires that require distinction will be marked with "outside" and "inside" on the sidewall. If there are no markings, it means there is no distinction between inside and outside. How to check tire size: Tire labels are uniformly located on the tire sidewall. Taking the tire specification 195/65R15 as an example, 195 indicates the tire width is 195mm, 65 represents the tire section height as a percentage of the width (65%), R stands for radial tire, and 15 indicates the wheel rim diameter is 15 inches. Functions of tires: Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; transmit traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the car's power performance, braking performance, and passability; work together with the car suspension to cushion impacts during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations.

Can Rearview Mirrors Be Repainted?

Rearview mirrors can be repainted. Carefully inspect the damaged area; if the damage exceeds one-third of the component, an over-repair method should be used for restoration. Waxing: Waxing is divided into direct waxing and polishing waxing. Direct waxing involves cleaning the car body and applying wax directly to the clear coat on the surface of the paint. Polishing waxing, on the other hand, requires using a polishing machine to polish the paint surface before applying wax. This method can instantly make the car look shiny. Glazing: Due to the composition of the glaze, it is not resistant to acid and alkali cleaning and can be easily damaged. It typically lasts only 1-3 months, and glazing can harm the car paint, requiring reapplication every two to three months. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective layer specifically designed for the care of key areas such as the car's paint surface, seats, interior and exterior trim, glass, and tires. It comes in quick-drying and slow-drying types, mainly determined by the primary ingredients. Film Application: Car coating is a highly protective measure that can brighten the paint surface while also providing multiple effects such as resistance to acids and alkalis, high temperature resistance, strong waterproofing, oxidation resistance, and UV protection.
