Minor scratches on rearview mirrors should be treated. Here is an introduction to handling minor scratches on rearview mirrors: 1. Touch-up paint pen: If the rust is not very severe, you can first use very fine sandpaper dipped in water to gently remove the rust spots, but avoid sanding randomly without direction—sand in straight lines in the same direction. After completely cleaning it, apply a layer of primer. For new scratches, you can clean them and then directly apply the primer. 2. Small can of original paint: If the vehicle comes with a small can of original paint, you can wait for the primer to dry, then use sandpaper to smooth it, and apply the original paint over the primer. If you don't have the original paint, you can purchase a touch-up paint pen and use it for coloring. Although this method is not as effective as going to a beauty shop for treatment, for small or inconspicuous scratches, it can still help prevent the rust from spreading and worsening.

Are cars in Macau left-hand drive or right-hand drive?

Macau cars are right-hand drive. Here are some issues to pay attention to when driving right-hand drive vehicles abroad: 1. Always remember to drive on the left: No matter where you return to the road from, keep this in mind. 2. Respect the right of way: When merging from a small road onto a major road, never cut in. Drivers in Commonwealth countries have no concept of yielding beyond the rules. If you cut in, they may not be able to brake in time, leading to disaster. 3. When driving in urban areas or approaching pedestrian crossings, if pedestrians have the right of way (green light), never fail to yield to them: because most people do not have the concept of yielding to vehicles. 4. Remember to use turn signals when changing lanes or turning: Since speeds in these countries are generally high, failing to signal in poor visibility conditions could lead to disaster.

How Long Can a Refurbished Battery Last?

Refurbished batteries marked with "refurbished" can last about 3 months. Below is relevant information about refurbished batteries: 1. Nature: Refurbished batteries refer to recycled, repaired, and reused batteries (lower grade), commonly known as reconditioned batteries. 2. Warranty: The warranty for refurbished batteries typically ranges from 12 to 15 months. If the battery has quality issues, the manufacturer will replace it with another refurbished battery. 3. Quality: Refurbished batteries are of lower quality compared to standard batteries because they are essentially batteries that have been repaired after failing during their second stage of use. The lead inside is not purified again, which naturally affects the battery's performance.

Why Are License Plates Easily Washed Away by Water?

Not using dedicated license plate screws to secure the plate to the vehicle, but instead placing the plate in a clip that can be easily opened and detached, makes it prone to being washed open by water. Some car owners intentionally do not tighten the screws for easy removal of the license plate. Additionally, if the license plate has been installed for too long, the screws may have loosened without the owner noticing. Below is relevant information: 1. Causes: Some vehicles have narrow front bumpers or concave lower sections, where the installation width of the bumper is less than the width of the license plate. This results in the lower part of the license plate being suspended and unable to adhere to the bumper, making it impossible to tighten the bottom two screws. 2. Precautions: Always check if the license plate fixing nuts are securely fastened before driving through water.

What Could Be the Reasons for a Car Remote Key Malfunction After Battery Replacement?

Car remote key malfunction after battery replacement could be due to the following reasons: 1. The newly replaced battery is dead, or the remote control button is damaged: When the remote control is unresponsive, first check if the indicator light on the remote control lights up when pressing the button. If it doesn't light up or is dim, the battery should be replaced again. 2. If the remote control is confirmed to be functioning properly, check the door lock actuator: Inside the left front door, use the mechanical key to open the door and manually lock it to see if the other three doors respond. A response indicates normal operation. 3. Code loss, meaning data loss: This can occur due to power disconnection, hitting potholes, etc. In such cases, the remote needs to be reprogrammed, and it's advisable to seek professional assistance.
