Cleaning a car's wheels is one of the easiest ways to give it a makeover. It's also important to do this regularly, otherwise brake dust and other impurities can become embedded in the metal and leave marks. Improper rim cleaning can damage your vehicle, we explain what you need to do to avoid it.
A good rim cleaner is required. However, be careful to choose a suitable product for your rims, otherwise you risk damaging them. Pay special attention to the pH of the cleaner: if your wheels are aluminum or polished, a product that is too acidic can leave indelible marks. If in doubt, definitely go for a neutral pH (around 7) which is less effective but doesn’t pose a risk to your wheels.
You don’t need to save a few minutes by spraying product on all rims at the same time. This will force you to work very quickly on each rim. It is better to go from A to Z on each wheel until the last step. You won’t need more than 10 minutes per wheel anyway.
Do not overlook the amount of product used: the cleaner should cover all parts of the rim, including the hardest-to-reach ones. Don’t forget to check if it’s behind the rim and around the valve.
In most cases, one to two minutes is all it takes for the product to take effect. If your wheels are very dirty, you can expect a little more, but waiting too long can damage your wheels.
A special brush is ideal for it to be effective. Many shapes and materials are available: Opt for a thin head to reach the tiniest corners and plastic bristles, which are easier to use when the brush is filled with water. The handle should also not be too flexible, otherwise it will bend under pressure. A sponge can also work, but it will be less effective and more difficult to reach small spaces.
Cleaning with the help of a high-pressure gun is ideal here. It is really necessary to thoroughly rinse each wheel to get rid of brake dust and wheel wash product. Take your time and make sure you don’t miss any corners. The chemicals you use may leave marks on the rim.
As with body washing, drying is an important step, especially if your water is rich in limescale. This will ensure that no traces of brake dust and other contamination or traces of water evaporation remain. Use a microfiber cloth and be careful not to drip.
After your wheels are completely cleaned, there is one last step left. By using protective products (spray, cream or ceramic protective layer), you can make your wheels less dirty in an extended period of time . Thus, you protect your wheels against dust and dirt. This will make your job much easier the next time you clean them.
Ford Pro Electric SuperVan has full 2000 hp power, with this huge power, 0-100 km/h acceleration takes place in less than two seconds. It's a performance that most supercars fail to deliver.
Ford E-Transit SuperVan, which will be launched in the second half of 2023, shows us of what it can do with its appearance and cool design. Thanks to the extended wheelbase, there is a water-cooled 50 kWh battery that feeds the four electric motors with a total power of 2000 hp. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under two seconds and reaches speeds of over 300 km/h very quickly. The vehicle is made of carbon material to be light.
Malfunctions in the vehicle can have many different causes. According to research, in most cases, car owners have the opportunity to prevent breakdowns. The following guide explains what are the most common vehicle malfunctions and how to avoid them.
According to the 2019 ADAC breakdown statistics, problems with the car battery are the most common cause of malfunctions. There are two main reasons for this: On the one hand, while the average age of vehicles has increased slightly, on the other hand, the electricity need of cars has increased continuously in recent years. As there are more and more electrical systems, from air conditioning to seat heating, the susceptibility to errors has also increased.
But in most cases, the reason the battery is dead is because the owner has not turned off electrical devices such as lights or radio. Therefore, check that all systems are turned off after each trip. It is also recommended that you follow all maintenance appointments. If your battery runs out quickly despite all this care, then it’s time to replace it with a new battery.
According to various surveys, almost a third of drivers experienced a flat tire in a short time. Often, foreign bodies that get into the tires are to blame. But according to experts, punctures are often due to human error. Risk can be minimized by the following measures, among others:
Even if modern engine systems have a relatively long service life, more than 20 percent of all car owners are forced to stop driving due to the problem of engine overheating. If the vehicle has an engine failure, it is usually announced by increased oil consumption, loss of performance, or smoke.
Anyone who notices such signs should go to a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid major damage and the associated costs. A faulty engine cannot always be avoided. However, you can at least prevent your own carelessness from causing such a glitch:
If a car is not starting, it is not necessarily due to the car battery. It is also possible that the alternator is faulty. This is the alternator that powers the vehicle and charges the vehicle battery.
Damage to the alternator is usually announced by a whistling sound and a flashing warning light. The vehicle then travels a certain distance, but in this case replacing the component cannot be avoided.
Spark plugs are used to ignite the fuel and air mixture with a spark. They are parts that wear out over time, so they naturally fail at some point. A faulty ignition system is noticed by a clicking noise or engine misfire.
You can prevent such a malfunction by changing the spark plugs at regular intervals. Depending on the design, there are distinct differences in mileage. Ordinary spark plugs usually last up to 30,000 kilometers, while platinum and iridium plugs reach up to 100,000 kilometers.
V-belt transmits engine power to auxiliary units such as hydraulic pump or alternator. If the V-belt breaks, the water pump will not work either, so the engine will quickly overheat. You can see if this condition exists by looking at the temperature gauge.
Other signs of a torn V-belt are the charge control light coming on and squeaking noises from the engine. In this case, you should stop using the vehicle and call the breakdown service instead. Otherwise, it can cause much more serious damage to the engine.
The injection pump is also one of the wearing parts with a limited service life. Vehicle owners can hardly tell if the component is faulty. It is recommended that only the specified maintenance dates are adhered to.
If you have a faulty injection pump, you should go to a car mechanic as soon as possible, otherwise you risk damaging the engine.
Car breakdown is often caused by wear and tear parts such as spark plugs, V-belts, and toothed belts. It is therefore recommended that you do not miss a service appointment if you want to minimize the risk of malfunctions. This is especially true for older vehicles.
You should also have your vehicle inspected at the slightest sign of defect, otherwise indirect damage will usually occur. It is important in general checks on the car, such as filling the coolant or visually checking the tires.
Boeing's new 747 project continues to get tough for the US President. Not only is the project already causing millions of dollars in losses, but its completion may be delayed further.
On behalf of the US government, Boeing is converting two 747-8Is into new presidential aircraft. The aircraft will replace two existing 747-200Bs that have been in service since the 1990s.
However, according to the latest report of the State Accountability Office (GAO) to Congress, the VC-25B project increases the risk of further delays. The most important problem is the difficult situation in the labor market. The report states that Boeing is facing a shortage of skilled workers due to its highly competitive labor market.
It’s no secret that there is a serious shortage of skilled workers in the United States. But Boeing especially needs employees with special skills to help complete the new Air Force One. Since this is a matter of utmost military secrecy, the security aspect is of paramount importance.
Applicants must go through a thorough security screening process before becoming familiar with the precise details of the project and obtaining so-called security clearances. This lengthy process will likely make the search for suitable workers even more difficult. According to the GAO report, Boeing will work with the program office to improve the review process so that approvals can be granted faster.
In fact, the new AF-1 is supposed to enter service in 2024, but that seems impossible for now. The US Department of Defense recently announced that new Air Force One aircraft will not be delivered before 2026.
Another factor mentioned in the report to Congress for this timing mismatch is extensive wiring. This is essential, among other things, for the state-of-the-art communications system that aims to enable unrestricted operation even at an altitude of 40,000 feet. The change in the equipment company also makes the US company lose time.
But the White House has recently decided against the new navy, red and white color chosen by Donald Trump. A study shows that because of the dark blue color under and above the hubs of the engines, the electronics underneath can get very hot due to solar radiation. In addition, cooling factors are said to be installed. This not only costs a lot, but the required conversion takes time as well.
ID AERO will be available in the Chinese market first, and is expected to go on sale in the US and Europe later on. At first glance, the new concept car impresses with its superb aerodynamics, elegant design and ample space. The vehicle will be unveiled on Monday, June 27, at 14:00 CEST.
