Minor scratches can be treated with partial polishing, but this is only a temporary solution. Because polishing will inevitably damage the paint surface, after two times the paint will become very thin. After polishing, regular waxing is necessary, otherwise the paint surface will quickly develop cracks, become matte, or fade due to aging. Benefits of polishing: For vehicle paint surfaces that are oxidized, dull, or have scratches, polishing can remove oxides and contaminants, restoring the cleanliness of the paint surface. Drawbacks of polishing: Polishing will thin the car paint, and if not done carefully, it may even polish through to the primer.

What Do the Last Six Digits of a Car Engine Number Represent?

The last six digits of a car engine number (visible on the vehicle registration certificate) typically include the engine model, production date, and a randomly assigned serial number given when the engine comes off the production line. Some may also contain a place-of-origin code (though this code is only understood by the manufacturer). The arrangement and content of engine numbers vary by manufacturer. Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose passenger vehicles are required to display the professional manufacturer's name, model, and production number in accordance with regulations. To facilitate production management and usage, the national standard (GB725-82) "Rules for the Naming and Model Designation of Engine Products" provides unified regulations for engine names and model numbers. Components of a car engine number: Prefix: Includes product series code, generation symbol, and regional or enterprise code. Manufacturers may choose corresponding letters as needed, subject to approval and filing by the industry standard authority. Middle section: Composed of symbols for cylinder count, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and bore diameter. Suffix: Consists of structural and usage characteristic symbols. Tail: Distinguishing symbol. When differentiation is needed due to improvements or other reasons within the same product series, manufacturers may select appropriate symbols, with the suffix and tail separated by a "-".

What does 1.5td displacement mean?

1.5td displacement refers to a 1.5-liter turbocharged direct injection engine, where 't' stands for turboboost, translated as turbocharging; 'd' stands for direct injection, which refers to the technology of injecting fuel directly into the cylinder, allowing it to mix and combust with air. Turbocharged direct injection engines deliver more powerful performance, with a thermal efficiency of 36.8%. Additionally, the direct injection technology ensures that the atomized fuel and intake air are precisely, fully, and uniformly mixed, filling the entire cylinder and achieving homogeneous combustion under all operating conditions.

What does 'lock' mean in a car?

lock refers to the ignition switch. The switch of the car's ignition system (usually requiring a key) can freely open or close the main circuit of the ignition coil. Here is additional information: 1. The activation method is to insert the key into the ignition switch, pause briefly at each gear for about 1-2 seconds, during which you can hear the sound of electrical equipment powering on, and then proceed to the next gear. Some cars can directly enter the ON position, wait for all electrical systems to fully start up (approximately 6-7 seconds), and then turn the key to the START state to ignite directly. 2. The one-button start button or knob can only be activated when it detects the presence of the smart key, with a typical sensing range of about 50 centimeters.

How to Remove a 3M Adhesive Spoiler?

3M adhesive spoiler removal method: Use a hair dryer to slowly heat it, allowing the adhesive to soften, then wipe it off with an eraser; alternatively, you can use an adhesive remover, which can easily remove various types of adhesive residues. The adhesive remover can peel off stickers on car windows, body surfaces, paint surfaces, glass, marble surfaces, etc. A car spoiler refers to the ducktail-shaped protrusion installed at the rear end of the car trunk lid, which is part of the car's aerodynamic kit. Its main function is to reduce the lift at the rear of the vehicle. If the lift at the rear is greater than that at the front, it can easily lead to excessive steering, reduced rear wheel grip, and poor high-speed stability.

Is the Electronic Parking Brake Effective After the Engine is Turned Off?

Electronic parking brake remains effective after the engine is turned off. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both relying on the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. The electronic parking brake, also known as the electronic parking brake system, integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, and achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its advantages include saving the space occupied by the mechanical handbrake and creating a larger center console space.

What Does Air Suspension Modification Mean?

Air suspension modification refers to a type of shock absorber that controls the vehicle's height through air pressure. The working principle of air suspension involves adjusting the vehicle's height by regulating air pressure. It consists of elastic rubber airbag shock absorbers, a pneumatic control system, a trunk-mounted air tank, and an electronic control system. Air suspension is not only found in modified vehicles but is also installed in many factory models, such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Land Rover Discovery, and even many supercars come with factory air suspension. Modified air suspension systems typically include a connected remote control inside the vehicle, allowing the owner to preset several height settings for quick switching between different levels. This enables the car to "slam" to the ground when parked and rise to a normal driving height when in motion.
