The lifespan of touch-up paint from a 4S store depends on the quality of the paint used and the workmanship. If done well, it can last over a decade, but if poorly executed, it may crack within a year or two. Here is a detailed introduction to automotive painting: Overview: Automotive painting refers to applying a layer of paint to the car's surface to protect it. Automotive paint is typically baked-on paint. In automobile manufacturing plants, after the frame and body are welded, the next step is painting. Types include standard paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. Automotive painting process: applying putty, sanding, painting, etc. Composition: Automotive paint generally consists of four basic components: film-forming substances, pigments, solvents, and additives. The film-forming substance is the main component of the paint, responsible for keeping the pigments bright, durable, and adhering to the surface. Pigments are one of the two non-volatile substances in paint. Solvents are the volatile components in paint.

Here are the solutions: 1. Short-term polishing: If it hasn't been long, you can use Biaoli sand wax to polish the paint surface. 2. Long-term sanding: If it has been too long, you will need to use 3M polishing sandpaper for full-body sanding (followed by Biaoli sand wax or polishing wax to restore the paint's gloss).

Can the vehicle damage insurance cover water damage to a car?

Including water damage coverage: Because it includes water submersion coverage. For commercial auto insurance purchased before September 19, 2020, it must include both vehicle damage insurance and water submersion coverage to be eligible for compensation. For example, a car worth 100,000 yuan with both water submersion and vehicle damage insurance, and if the engine is damaged, can receive full compensation. 2. Claim based on the vehicle's age: If it is a very old car that has lost its repair value, it will be treated as a total loss. If the repair cost exceeds 50% of the vehicle's value, the insurance company will consult with used car dealers to sell it.

What Causes a Manual Transmission Car to Roll When Parked?

Manual transmission cars may roll when parked due to the following reasons: Tightening the Handbrake: Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause the handbrake cable to loosen, leading to the vehicle rolling when parked. Replacing the handbrake cable can resolve this issue. However, it's important to note that after applying the handbrake, you should habitually check if the vehicle is completely stationary and doesn't move at all. Braking on a Slope: If parking on a slope, use the foot brake for short stops. For longer stops, you can apply the handbrake, but only if it is effective. In such cases, try to pull the handbrake all the way. After tightening, check your surroundings and use other vehicles as reference points to determine if your car is rolling. For older vehicles with poor handbrake effectiveness, it's advisable to rely on the foot brake to prevent rolling.
