The causes of oxidation white spots on wheel hubs are: 1. Residual cleaning agents left on the wheel hubs during regular car washing that are not thoroughly cleaned, leading to oxidation and white spots over time; 2. Scratches or abrasions on the wheel hub surface that damage the protective clear coat, exposing the metal, which then reacts chemically with oxygen in the air, causing oxidation. Methods to remove oxidation white spots on wheel hubs include: 1. Thoroughly clean the wheel hub surface, then spray a specialized cleaning agent onto the oxidized layer; 2. Wait for a period of time, use a toothbrush to clean the gaps, and a sponge to scrub the surface; 3. Dry the wheel hub with a clean towel, then apply wax to protect the alloy surface. A wheel hub is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire from within and is centrally mounted on the axle.

What is the round button on the seat belt called?

The round button on the seat belt is called the buckle. Here is an introduction to seat belt-related content: 1. Function: The seat belt functions to restrain movement and provide cushioning, absorbing impact energy and mitigating inertial forces to prevent or reduce the severity of injuries to drivers and passengers. Automotive accident investigations show that wearing a seat belt can reduce fatalities by 57% in frontal collisions, 44% in side collisions, and 80% in rollovers. 2. Principle: When a strong frontal collision occurs, due to inertia, the driver and passengers' bodies move forward rapidly. At this point, the seat belt will exert force to 'pull back' the bodies, absorbing some of the impact energy while the airbag inflates and fully deploys.
