How to Determine if a Car Scratch is New or an Old One?

If it's a new scratch, you can feel significant unevenness when touching the scratched area with your hand. For an old scratch, it won't feel the same. Below are methods to handle scratches of varying degrees: 1. Fine hairline scratches: Even dust and sand particles in the air can cause subtle hairline scratches on the car's paint surface when driving at high speeds. These can be observed as faint lines under reflected light but are usually not detectable by touch. Such hairline scratches can be easily removed with a wax containing fine-cut abrasives, such as mirror polish wax. Since the abrasives are as fine as the nanometer level, they won't damage the original protective layer of the paint. 2. Light scratches: Upon careful touching of the car body, you'll feel the scratch is very shallow with only slight indentation. This type only damages the transparent layer of the paint surface. Using fine abrasive wax, you can repair such light scratches yourself by rearranging the molecules of the surface paint, effectively filling the scratch with surrounding paint. 3. Moderate scratches: If the scratch is clearly visible and reaches the colored paint layer, the best approach is to take the car to a professional auto repair shop. Attempting to fix it yourself may result in more scratches during the polishing process.

Note the charging time: Charging time (hours) = Battery capacity (mAh) / Charging current (mA) * 1.5 coefficient. For example, using a 1600mAh rechargeable battery with a 400mA charger, the charging time would be: 1600/400*1.5=6 hours. Below is an introduction to automotive batteries: 1. Structure of automotive batteries: Automotive batteries are an essential part of a vehicle and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries.
