In fact, even for a new car, the severity of paint damage varies, and whether to repaint depends on the situation. If the metal is exposed, it will definitely rust. However, under normal circumstances, the metal is not easily exposed, and what you might see is the primer. Here is some additional information: 1. Minor scratches: If it's just a minor scratch where the paint surface is scraped but the primer is not damaged, you can wait and have it repaired all at once. If you don't want to repaint but have OCD, it's recommended to buy a touch-up pen online and do it yourself. 2. Severe scratches: If the scratch is severe and the metal part is exposed, it needs to be repainted as soon as possible. The process of car painting is very complex, and what you see is only the top layer of paint. If the blackened part is not repainted in time, exposure to wind, sun, and time will cause rust in that area. Later repainting may also result in cracks and fissures.

What Causes a Clicking Sound When Releasing the Brake?

It may be caused by the brake disc and brake pads sticking together due to rust, resulting in abnormal noise. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Brake Disc: Simply put, a brake disc is a round disc that rotates synchronously with the vehicle's movement. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force. When the brake is applied, it clamps the brake disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. Brake discs offer effective braking performance and are easier to maintain compared to drum brakes. 2. Brake Pads: Also known as brake linings, automotive brake pads are friction materials fixed on the rotating brake drum or brake disc of the wheel. The friction linings and blocks bear external pressure, creating friction to slow down the vehicle.

Does the Start-Stop Disabler Harm the Car?

Start-stop disablers do not cause significant harm to cars. Here are the relevant details: 1. Principle: Most wear and tear on a car engine comes from the instantaneous wear during cold starts. Since automatic start-stop durations are very short, the oil adhering to the inner surfaces of the engine cylinders does not completely drain away. Under hot start conditions, the impact on the engine is minimal. 2. Automatic Start-Stop: Engine automatic start-stop refers to a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle temporarily stops during driving (e.g., at a red light) and automatically restarts it when it's time to move forward again.
