Car The rust-like substance on a car is generally caused by damage to the paint from road debris such as stones and sand hitting the surface while driving, which gradually leads to rusting. Here are some additional tips: 1. Use toothpaste: The toothpaste you use daily can also serve as an effective cleaning tool. Apply toothpaste to the rusted area and rub it back and forth. 2. Use wet sandpaper: If the rust spots are not too large and the adhesion is not too strong, you can gently sand the area with wet sandpaper and water. However, if the rust spots are extensive and strongly adhered, not only will wet sandpaper and water be needed to sand the car body, but after sanding, primer or a touch-up paint pen will also be required to repair the sanded area. 3. Visit a car detailing shop or 4S store for cleaning: Some rust stains are very stubborn, and you might worry about damaging the car's surface if you attempt to remove them yourself. In such cases, it is recommended to go to a car detailing shop or 4S store for professional cleaning.

Is Vehicle Inspection and Pickup Not on the Same Day?

Generally, the vehicle inspection and pickup should be completed on the same day. When purchasing a new car, pay attention to checking the following aspects: 1. Exterior: When picking up the new car, inspect the car's exterior under sufficient lighting to check for color differences in the paint and any scratches or dents. 2. Interior: Check if the car seats have wrinkles, if there is any unusual odor inside the car, or if there is dirt in the corners to avoid picking up a flood-damaged vehicle. 3. Glass: Check the production date of the car's glass. Generally, there may be differences in the production dates of the car's glass, but they should not exceed one year.

What is the problem when a Mercedes-Benz makes abnormal noise when shifting gears?

Mercedes-Benz cars make abnormal noise when shifting gears for the following reasons: 1. Damaged transmission housing: The transmission housing and bearing seat holes are worn and deformed over time. This noise is loudest when shifting into low gear and gradually decreases as higher gears are engaged, with direct drive producing the least noise. 2. Broken gear teeth: This causes impact during meshing. When shifting into this gear, strong impact and vibration occur, leading to resonance in the transmission housing. 3. Improper transmission assembly: Improper replacement of gears, needle bearings, or bushings in a certain gear of the transmission, or abnormal assembly clearance, results in poor gear meshing and abnormal noise during transmission.

Is It Necessary to Install a Shark Fin on a Car?

It is not necessary to install a shark fin on a car. If the shark fin is original, it may have advantages such as enhancing the car's communication signals and shielding static electricity. However, if it is installed later, the shark fin only serves a decorative purpose and has no other functions. Here is some information about shark fins: Shark fin antennas overcome the shortcomings of traditional telescopic rod antennas, whip antennas, and car glass antennas. They integrate all the functions of ordinary antennas using the latest electronic technology, including discharging static electricity, amplifying communication signals, reducing turbulence, and improving the accuracy of the GPS system. Additionally, they serve as FM radio antennas, GSM communication antennas, and GPS antennas.

What Causes Abnormal Noises When Driving on Rough Roads?

Abnormal noises when driving on rough roads can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Friction between car components: It may be caused by the friction sound from the fixed rubber sleeve of the suspension lateral stabilizer bar, or related components of the interior trim panel rubbing against each other. 2. Lack of lubrication in the steering column dust cover: Insufficient lubrication in the steering column dust cover can lead to dry friction sounds. Applying some grease inside the dust cover can eliminate the noise. 3. Abnormal noise from the steering column universal joint: The front end of the steering column is equipped with a universal joint. Lack of lubrication in the universal joint can cause abnormal noises, which can be resolved by lubricating the universal joint.

What is the maximum speed of the Corolla 12t on the highway?

The Corolla 12t can reach a maximum speed of 120 km/h on the highway, but traffic regulations must be observed. Factors affecting maximum speed: The maximum speed is largely related to the road surface and is also subject to the road's speed limit. Discussing maximum speed alone is not meaningful. Speed regulations: Motor vehicles must not exceed the speed limit signs on the road. On roads without a centerline, the speed limit is 30 km/h in urban areas and 40 km/h on highways. On roads with only one lane in the same direction, the speed limit is 50 km/h in urban areas and 70 km/h on highways. When turning, the maximum speed of a motor vehicle must not exceed 30 km/h.
