There are two main reasons for the odor in the car air conditioner: dirt accumulation on air conditioning components and mold caused by moisture. The details are as follows: Odor caused by dirt accumulation on air conditioning components: After years of use, dust can accumulate on the indoor filter and inside the copper fins of the air conditioner. When a certain amount of dust builds up, it produces an odor. When the air conditioner is turned on, this odor is dispersed into the air through the vents. Odor caused by mold from moisture: After the air conditioner operates in cooling or heating mode, moisture often remains inside the indoor unit. If the air conditioner is turned off immediately without a dry and anti-mold function, the moisture inside persists. Over time, this leads to mold growth, resulting in an odor in the car air conditioner.

Is it necessary to repaint the car after a scratch?

If scratches are found on the car body, first check the extent of the damage. Then consider whether repainting is necessary. If it's just a very shallow scratch on the surface paint, clean the affected area thoroughly to remove any dust. After drying, you can apply wax. Depending on the situation, you can also use a compound for treatment, applying it in straight-line motions. Once the scratch disappears, use a finer compound and then apply wax. Here is some related information about car waxing: 1. Introduction: Car waxing, as a traditional car care procedure, primarily serves to waterproof and protect against acid rain. The wax reduces the amount of water droplets adhering to the car body. 2. Waxing frequency: Theoretically, the interval for car waxing depends on how long the wax layer lasts on the paint surface, which in turn depends on the quality of the wax used.

Will the car alarm sound if the car is slightly scratched?

The car alarm may not necessarily sound if the car is slightly scratched. Here are the reasons why a car alarm might sound: 1. The sensitivity of the trigger is too high: The alarm may activate in the presence of slight vibrations or minor noises. Sometimes, excessive vibration sounds can also trigger the car alarm. If the alarm is too sensitive, you can adjust the sensitivity by fine-tuning the vibration sensor on the anti-theft device. 2. The door is not closed properly: This doesn't just refer to the car doors but also includes the car's hood or trunk. If any of these parts are not properly closed, the car alarm will activate. If not addressed, the alarm will continue to sound until the car battery runs out of power or the door is securely closed.
