If you have mastered the knowledge of car polishing and waxing and have the corresponding tools, you can wax your car by yourself. Restore the paint surface: For car paint surfaces that are oxidized, dull, or have scratches, you can remove oxides and corrosive substances to achieve the goal of restoring the cleanliness of the paint surface; Protective effect: Car waxing can protect the car's paint surface, provide gloss to the body, and serve functions such as waterproofing, acid rain resistance, UV protection, anti-static, and polishing. Polishing is a method that uses polishing wax and a polishing machine to remove scratches and rough areas on the car's paint surface. Polishing can grind off the aged paint film, allowing a new paint film to form, restoring brightness. Waxing or glazing after polishing can achieve more ideal results. The main purpose of car waxing is to protect against rain and acid rain.

Can the Subject 2 Test Be Postponed If I Don't Have Time to Study?

Yes, it can be postponed. Here are the details: 1. Time Limit: The validity period of the driving skill examination permit is three years. Applicants must complete the Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests within this period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subject scores will be invalidated. 2. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the test items include five mandatory tests: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions may also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection.

What Causes Severe Vibration When the Air Conditioner is On?

Severe vibration when the air conditioner is on may be caused by a malfunctioning air conditioning speed-up device, carbon buildup in the throttle body, or a collapsed or damaged engine mount. Check if the air conditioning speed-up device is malfunctioning or broken. Normally, when the air conditioner is turned on, the idle speed should increase by 200 to 300 RPM. If this speed-up device is faulty, it will cause noticeable vibration. This speed-up device is essentially the idle speed solenoid valve, which might be stuck—cleaning it could resolve the issue. Carbon buildup in the throttle body can make the engine struggle to drive the compressor, leading to idle vibration. The throttle body should be cleaned, and if driving conditions are harsh, regular cleaning is recommended—preferably every 10,000 kilometers.

What Causes Insufficient Power, High Fuel Consumption, and Slow Acceleration?

Insufficient power, high fuel consumption, and slow acceleration are most likely caused by prolonged idling or warming up the vehicle while stationary, leading to increased carbon deposits. Here are some details about fuel consumption: 1. Introduction: Generally refers to the amount of gasoline consumed per 100 kilometers, which is a theoretical indicator for vehicles. 2. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: The longer the vehicle idles, the higher the fuel consumption, so minimize idling time; avoid sudden acceleration, hard pressing of the accelerator, and driving at low RPMs. 3. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various driving conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling, as well as load capacity, ambient temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on, all have an impact.

Is There a Risk of Spontaneous Combustion with Engine Oil Leakage?

Engine oil leakage poses a risk of spontaneous combustion. If the engine oil leakage is severe and occurs above the exhaust manifold, there is a certain probability that the engine may spontaneously combust. Car engine oil is the lifeblood of the engine. Below are detailed explanations about car engine oil: Overview: Engine oil is the lifeblood of the engine. It circulates within the engine, providing protection to various moving parts and performing critical functions such as lubrication, cooling, cleaning, buffering, and sealing. Additional Information: The condition of the engine oil not only directly affects the engine's performance but also impacts its lifespan. Engine oil operates in a harsh environment where impurities from gasoline combustion contaminate it, leading to oxidation and deterioration over time.

What Causes a Car Fuel Pump Fuse to Blow?

Electrical appliances consuming more power than their rated capacity can easily blow fuses. If inspection of the fuel pump circuit reveals no intermittent short-circuit faults, the possible causes could be either excessive current draw by the fuel pump or excessive impurities in the fuel leading to pump seizure and increased current consumption, which can easily blow the fuse. Below are relevant details: Inspecting the fuel pump circuit: Many fuel pump wiring harnesses run along the side doors and pass under the rear seats. Frequent passenger weight over prolonged periods may cause wear and tear in these areas. Side door wiring panels: After removing the trim panels, many people accidentally pierce the power wires when using self-tapping screws without realizing the insulation damage, which may eventually lead to this fault.
