It is quite common for car paint to be chipped by small stones, possibly due to driving through roads with a lot of sand and dust or being hit by stones kicked up by the vehicle ahead. Additional Information: Below is an introduction to new car maintenance: 1. Paint Maintenance: An important part of "automotive surface maintenance." 2. Air Conditioning Maintenance: It is essential to clean the car air conditioning system periodically because the ducts accumulate many fine dust particles. Over time, mold can grow, and bacteria can be blown into the cabin through the ducts. Drivers often sit in the car for hours, breathing in such toxic air, which can be very harmful to health.

How to Repair Cracks in the Car Windshield?

It is recommended to repair cracks in the car windshield at a specialized repair shop. Below are the detailed steps for repairing windshield cracks. 1. First, attach a small mirror to the inside of the windshield. This helps to better reflect the crack condition. 2. Place a triangular suction cup on the windshield. The center of the suction cup should align with the impact point of the crack. Then, slowly position and align the vacuum injector with the damaged spot on the windshield. Use the vacuum function of the tool to extract any residual air from the damaged area before applying pressure to inject the repair resin into the crack. 3. Perform vacuum extraction. Pull the lever of the vacuum injector and wait for 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on the small mirror to observe if any bubbles are forming. If no more bubbles appear, it indicates that all the air inside the crack has been extracted. If bubbles continue to form, wait longer. 4. Lower the lever. From the inside of the windshield, you can clearly observe the flow of the repair resin as it gradually covers the damaged spot. 5. Once the resin has fully penetrated the crack, remove the repair tool. Then, cover the repaired area with a transparent plastic film and use a UV lamp to quickly cure the repair resin. 6. After the resin has solidified, remove the UV lamp and peel off the transparent plastic film. Use a utility knife to gently scrape off any excess resin from the windshield, ensuring a smooth finish. This completes the windshield repair process.

How Long is the Lifespan of a Tire?

Tire lifespan is generally determined by the degree of tire wear. Taking taxis as a reference, the lifespan of a tire can typically reach 100,000 to 200,000 kilometers. Below are some tips to extend the service life of your tires. 1. Pay attention to daily tire maintenance. Regularly check for punctures, scratches, or bulges caused by broken cords. If any issues are found, promptly visit a repair shop or 4S store for repair or replacement. 2. Regularly check tire pressure—once a month—and adjust it as needed to avoid unnecessary uneven wear caused by improper tire pressure. Overinflation leads to wear in the center, while underinflation causes wear on the sides. 3. Develop good driving habits. Avoid sudden acceleration, hard braking, and sharp turns, as these actions can accelerate tire wear.

Additionally, the reverse light can be replaced with an LED reverse light to improve the lighting conditions during nighttime reversing. Below are the relevant details: 1. The LED reverse light is installed at the rear of the vehicle. It automatically turns on when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear, illuminating the area behind the vehicle and alerting pedestrians and vehicles to safety. The power is generally 2-5W, and the light color is white. 2. The main components of a night vision camera are also quite simple. The most basic infrared camera consists of the camera housing, infrared light panel, camera lens, and the camera mainboard.
