Here are the methods to remove 3M adhesive from a car: If the adhesive is on the car glass, you can first use a hot towel or a hair dryer to heat the adhesive. After a while, when it seems ready, try to peel it off. If it's still difficult to remove, heat it a bit longer. Use a soft cloth dipped in a small amount of gasoline to gently wipe the adhesive area. Since gasoline may have a 'dissolving' effect on certain plastics or paint, be cautious: first test it on an unimportant area to observe the reaction before proceeding. Use a soft cloth dipped in sufficient 95% alcohol and gently wipe the adhesive area. The adhesive will soften and come off easily, and alcohol generally does not damage plastic parts or the car's paint surface. For stains on glass, ceramics, or tiles, a mixture of soap, a little ammonia, and turpentine can be used to easily remove marks, leaving the surface even smoother.

What Causes Abnormal Noises in a Car?

If the car makes a squeaking sound when driving at low speeds, it is likely coming from the suspension. The car's suspension includes components such as links, springs, shock absorbers, and stabilizer bars. If any of these parts are abnormal, such as loose bolts, they may produce abnormal noises due to movement. The details are as follows: 1. Inside the car: If the noise comes from inside the car, it is necessary to check whether the clock spring under the steering wheel and the universal joint inside the steering column are functioning normally. Wear or malfunction of these two components can cause abnormal noise. 2. Outside the car: If the noise comes from outside the car, it is necessary to check whether the upper plane bearings of the two front shock absorbers are worn, whether the ball joints of the steering gear are loose, and whether the internal rack and pinion of the steering gear are worn. Malfunction of these three components can lead to abnormal noise in the vehicle.

Why is it necessary to replace brake fluid regularly?

Here are the reasons for replacing brake fluid: 1. Brake fluid, commonly known as brake oil, has a limited service life. Unopened brake fluid typically has a shelf life of about 3 years, while opened brake fluid lasts about 1 year. 2. Expired brake fluid gradually emulsifies and deteriorates. During the emulsification process, bubbles may form and accumulate in the pipelines, unable to be released. This creates air resistance, affecting the normal transmission of hydraulic pressure and leading to reduced braking performance or even failure. Additionally, brake fluid has strong water absorption properties. Over time, absorbed water lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid, resulting in insufficient brake pressure and compromised braking effectiveness. 3. Using brake fluid beyond its recommended service period may not affect daily driving, and there may be no noticeable abnormalities. However, during downhill driving or aggressive driving, the high temperatures generated by the braking system can cause the brake fluid to boil. This can lead to bubble formation in the brake lines, severely affecting the operation of the braking system in extreme cases. Brake failure caused by boiling brake fluid often occurs suddenly without warning.
