Car scratches can be treated with toothpaste. Here are some related questions about car scratch treatment: 1. Note: No matter what type of scratch it is, improper handling can make a brand-new car look extremely ugly. Scratches are generally quite noticeable on the overall appearance of a car. 2. Operation: For shallow and minor scratches, they can be easily dealt with at home. Apply toothpaste to the car's scratches, then use a soft cotton cloth to rub it onto the car surface in the same direction, ensuring the application is as even as possible. Repeating this process several times can effectively reduce the marks and prevent corrosion in the scratched area.

There are often small scratches on my car, and I've tried various methods. For shallow scratches, I directly use scratch repair paste or polish, applying a small amount to a soft cloth and rubbing slowly, which works well and requires about ten minutes of patient wiping. If the clear coat is damaged, I use fine sandpaper to gently sand and then touch up the paint, being careful not to press too hard to avoid making it worse. I recommend buying a kit product, like the 3M Scratch Repair Kit, which is easy to use. After each repair, I apply a layer of wax to protect the paint and reduce future scratches. Keeping the car body clean is also crucial, as dirt can worsen wear and tear. Make it a habit to check for minor damages and address them promptly.

Why Can't the Key of Baojun 730 Be Pulled Out?

When the key of Baojun 730 can't be pulled out, many people may think there is a malfunction somewhere. In fact, this is just the self-locking anti-theft function that comes with the car's steering column. Reasons why the key can't be pulled out: The cause of this situation is that the steering wheel was moved after the last time the engine was turned off and the key was pulled out. At this point, you just need to apply a little force, wiggle the steering wheel left and right while turning the key to solve the problem. Principle of why it can't be turned: After the key is pulled out, the mechanism controlled by the key will no longer hold the locking tongue, and the locking tongue will pop out under the action of the spring. At this time, if the steering wheel is turned, the locking tongue will engage tightly with the locking groove on the steering column, making the key unable to turn as well.

What are the differences between different colors of antifreeze?

There are three main differences between antifreeze of different colors: 1. Different colors: Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze appears green. Diethylene glycol antifreeze is blue. Propylene glycol antifreeze is red. 2. Different costs: Ethanol is flammable and volatile, so its content should not exceed 40% when preparing, and it is not suitable for use in diesel engine cooling systems with higher operating temperatures. Glycerin (glycerol) requires a significant amount in water to achieve a low freezing point antifreeze. 3. Different boiling points: The freezing point of glycerin (glycerol) is -17℃, and the boiling point is 290℃. When mixed with water, the lowest freezing point can reach -46.5℃. The freezing point of ethylene glycol is -11.5℃, and the boiling point is 197.4℃. When mixed with water, the lowest freezing point can reach -68℃.

What are the reasons for the Wuling Rongguang feeling sluggish and powerless when accelerating?

The reasons for the Wuling Rongguang feeling sluggish and powerless when accelerating include: clogged three-way catalytic converter, degraded ignition performance of spark plugs, abnormal fuel injection, etc. Below are detailed cause analyses and solutions: Clogged three-way catalytic converter: Sluggish acceleration and a feeling of being stifled are likely caused by a clogged three-way catalytic converter. When clogged, it restricts engine exhaust flow, causing the engine's RPM increase to lag significantly behind the throttle pedal's depression depth, resulting in a stifled and powerless sensation. Solution: Clean the three-way catalytic converter by removing it, soaking it in oxalic acid or toilet cleaner to break down carbon deposits, and restore it to normal condition. Degraded ignition performance of spark plugs: As the direct component for igniting the air-fuel mixture, the spark plug's performance directly affects the engine's power output. During acceleration, if the spark plug's ignition performance degrades and fails to produce a high-intensity spark promptly, the suddenly increased fuel injection cannot combust fully, leading to sluggish and stifled acceleration. Solution: Use dry tissue or cloth to wipe the distributor inside and out, along with wires, then spray some desiccant specifically designed for the distributor cap, battery terminals, spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coil. Abnormal fuel injection: For gasoline to be injected into the cylinder in a well-atomized form, sufficient pressure is required as a foundation, with the injector nozzle serving as the passage. Therefore, when the nozzle is clogged, the injected fuel cannot form a good atomized state or reach sufficient injection volume, resulting in sluggish and stifled acceleration. Solution: Gently insert a sewing needle into the nozzle and stir back and forth to clean the injection holes, allowing it to be cleaned and reused.

How many kilometers should the car igniter be replaced?

Car igniters should be replaced approximately every 100,000 kilometers. As a core component in the engine ignition system, the igniter primarily functions to intermittently convert the vehicle's low-voltage electricity into high-voltage electricity. Without the high-voltage electricity converted by the igniter, the combustible gas mixture in the cylinder will not be effectively ionized and ignited, rendering the engine unable to operate normally. Precautions for using the igniter: 1. Do not turn on the ignition switch when the engine is not running; 2. The external surface of the igniter should be kept clean, and the interior should be protected from moisture to maintain its good insulation performance; 3. For contact-type battery ignition systems, the ignition switch should be promptly turned off when the gasoline engine stops running, and the gasoline engine should be started immediately when the ignition switch is turned on.

What Causes the Oil Can Light to Illuminate?

There are several reasons why the oil can light on the car dashboard may illuminate: 1. Insufficient engine oil level, which reduces the oil pump's output or prevents it from pumping oil due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure. 2. Overheating of the engine, which can thin the oil, causing it to leak excessively through the gaps and resulting in decreased oil pressure. 3. Damage to oil pump components or excessive gaps due to wear and tear or improper assembly, which can lead to the oil pump failing to deliver oil or delivering insufficient oil. 4. Improper clearance between the crankshaft and the bearings (big and small), where too tight a fit increases oil pressure and too loose a fit decreases it. 5. Clogging of the oil filter or oil pickup screen, which can reduce oil pressure. 6. Leaks or blockages in the oil lines.

What does checking the engine oil level mean?

Checking the engine oil level is a warning indicator that suggests an abnormal engine oil level, where the computer detects a low oil level, indicating either insufficient oil or a faulty oil level sensor. When checking the oil level, it should be done with the vehicle turned off by inspecting the oil dipstick. The dipstick has two markings: a maximum level and a minimum level. The normal oil quantity should not be above the maximum level nor below the minimum level; it should be between these two marks. Below are the specific steps to check the oil level: 1. Locate the oil dipstick. 2. Pull out the oil dipstick. 3. Wipe the dipstick clean with a tissue and reinsert it fully. 4. Observe the oil dipstick. If the oil level is between the upper and lower marks, it is normal, and no additional oil is needed.
