Use a dry cloth to wipe it, then clean it directly with glass cleaner, and finally wipe it clean with a warm, damp cloth. You can apply some toothpaste to the spots and then wipe them. Wipe the car glass with a damp cloth first, then use a clean damp cloth dipped in a little alcohol to scrub the car glass vigorously. Use sandpaper specifically designed for car cleaning, and then restore the gloss of the car surface by waxing.

Yesterday, my car was parked near a construction site for several days, and the windows were covered in a layer of grayish stuff that was really hard to wash off—super annoying. This situation is most likely caused by construction dust or hardened cement residue sticking to the glass, turning into stubborn stains. I tried rinsing it with plain water, but it didn’t work well. Later, I used a professional glass cleaner, sprayed it on, let it sit for about ten minutes, and gently wiped it with a soft cloth. Remember, don’t use hard brushes or steel wool—scratching the glass would make things worse. If the construction site is dusty, check the wind direction before parking and find a sheltered spot to avoid trouble. If the stains are severe, it’s better to take it to a car wash early—after all, blurred vision while driving is too dangerous. Safety comes first.

What causes the whistling sound during engine idle?

It is usually the sound from the valves or fuel injectors. The carbon canister solenoid valve can also produce this sound, but it tends to be more crisp. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Identification method: During idle, slightly press the accelerator to see if the frequency changes. If the frequency remains unchanged, it is likely the sound from the solenoid valve. If the frequency changes, it should be noise from the valves. If the sound is not very clear inside the car, it is generally not a big issue. Vehicles typically produce corresponding ticking sounds—one from the fuel injectors working, another from the valve area, and a similar sound from the timing chain, which is different from the ticking sound and more like a rattling noise. 2. Troubleshooting method: Generally, when a car is cold-started, the engine sound will be slightly louder than when the engine is warm. As long as the sound is even and smooth, not harsh, it is usually not a problem. This is because, when the engine is cold, the gap between the cylinder wall and the piston has not yet reached the optimal size, and the lubrication from the engine oil is not fully effective. Normally, when the engine block temperature reaches around 95 degrees, the sound will return to normal.

Where does the outside air enter in a car's external circulation system?

The air for the external circulation in a car's air conditioning system enters from below the windshield or from the engine compartment. The external circulation symbol is an arrow pointing from outside the car to the inside. However, many car models nowadays do not have a dedicated external circulation button. This does not mean the function is absent; rather, manufacturers simplify the design by defaulting to external circulation when the internal circulation button is not pressed. Below are four functions of a car's air conditioning system: 1. The air conditioner can control the temperature inside the cabin, heating or cooling the air to maintain a comfortable level. 2. The air conditioner can remove humidity from the air, drying it to absorb sweat and create a more comfortable environment. 3. The air conditioner can intake fresh air, providing ventilation. 4. The air conditioner can filter the air, removing dust and pollen.

Is Engine Oil Leakage a Major or Minor Issue?

Engine oil leakage is not a major problem, but it is harmful. The following are the hazards of oil leakage and an introduction to engine maintenance: Hazards of engine oil leakage: Engine oil leakage is harmful, with the main hazard being the loss of oil, which leads to waste, insufficient oil levels, and engine damage. The damage is not caused by the leakage itself but by the insufficient oil pressure resulting from the leakage. Therefore, it is essential to closely monitor the oil level. Some vehicle models have oil level displays, which prevent the oil level from unknowingly dropping below the normal range. Engine maintenance: The three filters and oil in a car need to be replaced. In the routine maintenance of vehicles with gasoline engines, the most frequently replaced items are the three filters and the engine oil. The three filters refer to the gasoline filter, air filter, and oil filter. These filters prevent impurities from entering the engine, which could cause abnormal wear or operation of the engine.

What does T-Box failure mean?

T-Box failure refers to problems with the vehicle's T-BOX in the telematics system, requiring a visit to the 4S shop to check the fault code, which will then determine the fault information. Most issues typically occur with the radar probe, making it impossible to obtain vehicle information. Here are some related details: 1. Structure of the T-Box: The T-Box structure includes an STM32F103CBT6 main controller and a dual-core STM32F105RBT6 processor. In addition, GPRS, GPS, a six-axis G-Sensor, and a vibration sensor are called upon by the main controller, along with two 12V outputs. The vehicle's T-BOX communicates with the host via CAN bus, enabling the transmission of commands and information, including vehicle status data and control commands. 2. Function of the T-Box: The T-Box has a variety of functions, the most common being remote query, remote control, and security services.

Does Unmanned Car Washing Damage Car Paint?

Currently, unmanned car washing does not cause damage to car paint. Common vehicle scratches and their causes: Spiral marks, accurately referred to as sun swirls, are fine spiral-like patterns visible under sunlight, while rainbow-like patterns are known as glare marks. Using unclean cloths to vigorously wipe the car can also leave such marks. Sand is the main culprit behind scratches. Whether washing manually with a cloth or using an automatic car wash machine, directly wiping the car body with a cloth can trap dirt in the fabric, leading to scratches when rubbed against the surface. Safety of brushes in automatic car wash machines: The brushes in automatic car wash machines are made of soft foam material. Taking a certain automatic car wash machine as an example, it uses imported EVA foam brushes with very low material density, capable of filtering fine particles above PM2.0. The brush ends are forked with an inverted trapezoid structure, soft and smooth, preventing sand from being trapped and ensuring no harm to the car paint. Safe cleaning methods: After pre-washing, the brushes are activated. During the washing process, the program monitors the safe current value to ensure the brush's pressure on the car body, preventing high-friction surface contact. Due to the centrifugal force from rotation, sand cannot adhere to the brush surface. Under the influence of inertial centrifugal force, sand is flung away from the brush surface in the opposite direction of the car body. High-pressure water nozzles continuously spray water onto the brushes, thoroughly cleaning them with each rotation, making it impossible for sand and dirt to damage the car body. Effective drying methods: Water droplets left after washing can easily form convex lenses, reflecting sunlight and causing localized high temperatures that may burn the car paint or leave watermarks. Therefore, a certain automatic car wash machine is equipped with an intelligent drying mode. After cleaning, the profile lifting top wind and fixed side wind drying system automatically adjusts the wind curtain direction, speed, and pressure based on model parameters obtained from the cleaning brush pressure sensor system, ensuring the high-intensity, high-airflow super wind curtain achieves optimal drying. Safety of car wash liquids: Some alkaline car wash solutions, such as dish soap or even 84 disinfectant, may clean the car effectively at the time but can accumulate over time, corroding the painted surface and leading to dullness or cracks. The neutral imported car wash liquid used can effectively prevent car paint from being damaged by excessive acid or alkali during washing. Shining water wax: After the weak water wash is completed, the automatic car wash machine automatically sprays shining water wax, which repels water, enhances the car's surface brightness, and provides short-term (3-5 days) protection for the car paint. Not only does it not damage the car paint, but maintenance is also something the automatic car wash machine quietly performs.
