If the plastic of the bumper is deeply scratched, it requires a paint repair. However, this painting job is best left to professional workers for spraying. To repair bumper scratches: 1. Toothpaste: When the bumper is scratched and exposes plastic, using toothpaste is very effective because toothpaste itself has a grinding function, equivalent to applying a layer of wax to your car, thus achieving a good repair effect. 2. Touch-up Paint Pen: Using a touch-up paint pen can cover some smaller and lighter scratches, making the marks less noticeable. Although there is still a certain gap compared to the original factory paint, and the durability is certainly not comparable to the original paint, after all, the touch-up pen is only for local touch-ups, the overall effect is relatively good.

How to Deal with a Car After Driving Through Deep Water?

After a sedan drives through deep water, it may cause short circuits in the car's wiring, poor contact, water ingress into the engine, and reduced lifespan. It is necessary to promptly check the air filter and electrical facilities after driving through deep water. Here are the relevant details: 1. Impact: After wading through water, if the engine ingests water, it may result in issues such as insufficient power and shaking. Prolonged use under such conditions can lead to deformation or breakage of the piston connecting rod, ultimately causing engine damage, though significant disassembly may be required. You can first check the air filter to see if there are any signs of water. 2. Precautions: Wading through water offers no benefits to a car and should be avoided whenever possible. If there is no choice but to drive through water, it is essential to inspect the vehicle promptly afterward, focusing on areas susceptible to water damage, to eliminate potential hazards as early as possible.

How to Remove the Air Filter of Ford Escort?

The air filter of Ford Escort is located inside the dashboard on the passenger side. When replacement is needed, remove the cover plate to access the air filter. The cover plate is a long strip, and after removing it, the air filter can be taken out. Here are some additional details: 1. The air filter at a Ford 4S store costs over 100 RMB, and the labor fee for replacement is over 200 RMB. It is recommended that car owners purchase and replace it themselves to save costs. Ford does not specify a fixed replacement cycle for the air filter but suggests an annual inspection for cleaning or replacement. It is advisable to clean it regularly and replace it every two years. 2. Without an air filter, particles can enter the cabin, polluting the car's air conditioning system and reducing the performance of the cooling system. Inhaling dust and harmful gases can cause allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and unpleasant odors, all of which affect driving safety. A high-quality air filter can capture dust particles, reduce respiratory discomfort, minimize irritation for allergy sufferers, enhance driving comfort, and protect the air conditioning and cooling system.

What are the effects of rainy weather on car paint?

Rainy seasons are prone to bacterial growth. After rain, the rainwater stains on the car body will gradually shrink, increasing the concentration of acidic substances in the rainwater. If these stains are not promptly rinsed off with clean water, over time, they can damage the topcoat. Below is a detailed introduction to car paint: 1. Overview: The primary function of car paint is to protect the vehicle body from corrosion. Additionally, car paint enhances the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle. Car paint is also a type of coating. The purpose of a paint booth is to provide a clean, safe, and well-lit painting environment for car painting operations, ensuring that the spraying process is free from dust interference and maintaining paint quality. 2. Composition: Car paint mainly consists of resin, pigments, additives, fillers, curing agents, solvents, etc. Metallic car paint usually includes glittering metallic powder (aluminum powder), while pearlescent paint typically contains mica particles.

How often should a 10-year-old car undergo annual inspection?

A 10-year-old car needs to be inspected annually. Here are some relevant additional details: 1. Annual inspection considerations: The specific time for each annual inspection is indicated on the vehicle's driving license. You can have the inspection done up to three months in advance of the due date, but it cannot be delayed. Even one day overdue is considered a violation. If caught by traffic police, you may face a fine of 200 yuan and 3 penalty points. Before the inspection, ensure all traffic violations are cleared; otherwise, the inspection cannot proceed. 2. Required documents and materials for the inspection: When taking your vehicle for inspection, the owner must bring the vehicle's driving license, insurance certificate, and the owner's original ID card.

What are the differences between iron engines and aluminum engines?

The differences between iron engines and aluminum engines are as follows: 1. Cast iron engine: The advantages are that it has lower manufacturing technical requirements and mature processes. Cast iron engines can withstand high-temperature and high-pressure working environments during actual operation. The disadvantage is that the engine is too heavy and its heat dissipation is not as good as that of aluminum alloy. 2. Aluminum alloy engine: The advantages are that it is lightweight, effectively reducing the engine's self-weight, and has good heat dissipation. Additionally, the manufacturing process requirements are slightly higher, and the manufacturing cost is more expensive than that of cast iron engines. The disadvantage is that the engine is prone to deformation when heated during operation, causing the matching degree between the cylinder inner wall and the piston to decrease over long-term operation, leading to increased clearance and significant power leakage. Furthermore, aluminum alloy engines cannot excessively exploit the engine's power. However, with technological improvements, the high-temperature resistance of aluminum alloy engines is now comparable to that of cast iron engines.
