I remember once tinkering with my car in the garage, looking for the engine number of my Buick Excelle. This thing is usually located on the engine block, such as on the left side or rear of the engine compartment, near the firewall. You'll need to pop the hood first and remove the plastic cover or heat shield to get a clear view. It's engraved on the metal and consists of a series of numbers and letters. Take your time, use your phone's flashlight to inspect carefully, and avoid touching any wires to prevent short circuits. When buying a used car, I always make sure to verify this number because if it's been tampered with, there might be issues. The location varies slightly depending on the model year—older models might have it in the center, while newer ones could have it slightly to the right. In short, with a bit of patience, you'll always find it. Safety first!

How to Remove Iron Particles?

After iron particles accumulate on a car, it is necessary to take it to a professional car cleaning shop for treatment. During daily use, or even when the car is stationary, iron particles can adhere to the paint surface. If left uncleaned for a long time, these particles can erode the car's paint, significantly affecting its appearance. Here are the specific steps for removal: 1. Use a paste-type iron particle remover: Before removing the iron particles, it is recommended to clean the surface to avoid wastage. When applying the remover, spray it on the areas with iron particles, preferably in small amounts to prevent waste. Note that wheels are common hotspots for iron particle accumulation and are often heavily contaminated. For cleaning, it is advisable to use a paste-type iron particle remover because of its high viscosity, which allows it to adhere to the surface for an extended period and work effectively, thereby improving efficiency. 2. Use a brush for cleaning: It is recommended to use a brush during the cleaning process. The brush can enhance efficiency and help clean every detail of the tires and the car body more thoroughly. After cleaning, rinse with water as soon as possible to prevent any residue from the cleaner, which could otherwise affect the car and its appearance.

Where is the best place to install ETC in a car?

The ETC device is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield for passenger cars, while for large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with anti-explosion film or those that have it installed later, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner needs to provide their valid ID card and the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner themselves, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Documents required for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); A photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); The original ID card of the agent; The original vehicle registration certificate; The vehicle that needs to have ETC installed. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large inclination angle of the windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered when installing ETC, it may increase the driver's blind spot. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not need to be charged or have its battery replaced, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, when installing, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may easily block the solar panel. Do not remove it randomly once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal guide rod, connected to a switch below. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal guide rod in. If the tag is removed randomly, the guide rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, you will need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device.

Is Full Car Wrapping Necessary?

Full car wrapping is necessary if you want to better protect the car's paint. Here are some introductions about car wrapping: 1. Precautions for car wrapping: When applying the wrap, it is essential to choose high-quality film and have it installed by a professional shop. Inferior wraps may not meet light transmittance standards, which can affect the driver's visibility during night driving. It is not recommended to apply film on the front windshield as it may obstruct the driver's view. When wrapping the front side windows, two sections should be cut out to ensure the driver has a clear view of the side mirrors. After the wrap is applied, avoid rolling the windows up and down immediately, as this can cause the film to peel off. 2. Duration of car wrapping: Generally, car wraps can last for about three years. After removing the wrap, a lot of adhesive residue may remain on the windows. Before attempting to remove this residue, it is important to soften the adhesive first to facilitate removal. If the adhesive is not softened and scraped off directly, it can leave many scratches on the glass. After softening the adhesive with alcohol or essential balm, use a plastic scraper to remove it, avoiding the use of hard metal tools.

How to Distinguish Between Good and Bad Car Window Tint?

High-quality tint film should allow clear visibility of objects beyond 6 meters at night, while inferior films often appear hazy. Genuine films feel thick and smooth to the touch, whereas poor-quality films are thin and brittle, prone to wrinkling. Here is more information about car window films: 1. Overview: Car window tinting (Auto-tint-film) involves applying a thin film layer to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof of a vehicle. This film is also known as solar film or heat-insulating film. 2. Functions: It blocks UV rays, reduces heat, prevents injuries from shattered glass, and minimizes glare. Additionally, the one-way transparency feature of solar films helps protect personal privacy.
