What materials are used for car polishing?

Materials used for car polishing include a polishing machine, polishing pads such as wool pads, rabbit hair pads, sponge pads, etc., polishing compounds, masking film, and paper tape. Generally, after polishing is completed, waxing, glazing, or coating is required. The steps for car polishing are as follows: 1. Wash the entire car. Use a paint cleaner with strong stain-removing power to clean the entire car. When using the cleaner, avoid causing new scratches from dust particles during polishing. 2. Sand with water sandpaper. For defects such as coarse particles, fine sandpaper marks, or flow marks on the paint surface, use 600-1000 grit water sandpaper wrapped around a small rubber block to gently sand the surface until smooth before polishing. Be careful not to sand through the paint layer. 3. Coarse and fine grinding. Use a mechanical grinder with coarse polishing compound to rough grind the marks left by the water sandpaper; then add fine polishing compound for fine grinding. 4. Polishing. Use a mechanical polisher with a mirror-finish treatment agent to remove swirl marks left by the coarse polishing compound, achieving a mirror-like polish on the paint film. 5. Manual waxing. After grinding and polishing, wipe off the polishing compound and immediately use a cotton cloth soaked in polishing wax to wipe the polished areas thoroughly. Then, use a dry cotton cloth to remove any excess wax, leaving the paint surface mirror-like and dazzlingly bright.

Is there a subsidy for scrapping National IV emission standard vehicles?

There are subsidies for scrapping National IV emission standard vehicles. The subsidy policies vary by region. In the context of increasingly advocating energy conservation and environmental protection, vehicle emission standards are becoming stricter, and car owners can scrap their vehicles in advance according to actual conditions. Private vehicle scrapping regulations: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-operational small and micro vehicles have no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common operational vehicle scrapping regulations: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and micro operational passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized operational passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years.

What are the requirements for meeting oncoming vehicles in the Subject 3 driving test?

Subject 3 requirements for meeting oncoming vehicles are as follows: 1. When meeting oncoming vehicles on roads without central isolation facilities or center lines, failing to slow down and drive on the right, or failing to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, pedestrians, or non-motorized vehicles will result in a 100-point deduction; 2. Failing to yield when meeting oncoming vehicles is difficult will result in a 100-point deduction; 3. Poor judgment of lateral safety distance and emergency steering to avoid oncoming vehicles will result in a 100-point deduction. More details are as follows: 1. Regarding the operation during vehicle encounters, examination regulations vary by region. Some areas only require lightly tapping the brakes, some require that the right side of the vehicle body does not exceed 40 cm from the right boundary line, and some areas require the speed not to exceed 30 km/h. Specific test requirements should be consulted with the local vehicle management office or the instructor. 2. When hearing the voice prompt, the right turn signal should be activated, the situation of the vehicle behind should be observed, and the speed should be reduced with downshifting if necessary. After confirming safety, gradually move into the right lane, and when the raised part of the wiper just coincides with the right boundary line, the body is about 30 cm from the right boundary line. 3. Students can also use the right rearview mirror to judge the distance. When the current door handle position is tangent to the roadside right boundary line and the body is parallel to the boundary line, the vehicle is also about 30 cm from the right boundary line.

Do Privacy Glass Need Window Tinting?

Privacy glass does require window tinting. Here is an introduction to window tinting: 1. Besides protecting privacy, the main functions of window tinting are safety, explosion-proof, and heat insulation. 2. In case of an accident while driving, the glass can easily shatter and cause injuries. The tint film helps secure the glass fragments to prevent secondary injuries. High-quality films also provide excellent heat and UV insulation, preventing excessive temperature inside the car. Below are the steps and precautions for window tinting: 1. To avoid dust and impurities affecting the tinting effect, the car's glass must be thoroughly cleaned before applying the film. 2. Areas that might be damaged during the tinting process should be covered in advance to prevent scratches on the car paint or interior. Any accessories that might interfere with the process should also be removed beforehand. 3. After the overall preparation of the car body, the film should be cut according to the size of the glass for an initial fit. 4. The roughly cut film is then applied to the car glass. The front and rear windshields need to be heated (using a heat gun) to conform the film to the curvature of the glass, ensuring a smooth application without water marks. 5. After heating, the film will adhere closely to the glass. Further adjustments are then made, precisely cutting the film to match the shape of the glass. 6. Since window tinting is applied to the interior side of the glass, a crucial step is the installation of the film. The interior side of the glass must be cleaned thoroughly, and the film must be applied quickly and accurately to push out any water bubbles. 7. After completing all the steps, a final inspection is necessary. Check each window, especially the edges and corners, and address any bubbles immediately. 8. After the tinting is done, avoid rolling down the windows for 2-5 days. The rear windshield's defogger function should not be used, and the front windshield should not be exposed to direct air from the air conditioner. Avoid using serrated items to clean the glass. After the installation, make sure to fill out the warranty application form to ensure future after-sales service. It is recommended to return to the shop for a follow-up inspection after 3 days to address any quality issues promptly.

The standards for the 6-year exemption are as follows: The vehicle must be a non-commercial automobile. The vehicle must have a seating capacity of 6 or fewer. Starting from November 20, 2020, non-commercial small passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding small trucks) are included in the exemption.

Vehicles that have not been registered within four years from the date of manufacture are excluded. The vehicle must meet the above criteria and must not have been involved in any fatal traffic accidents during the exemption period. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the main items of vehicle inspection include: Exterior inspection: mainly checking the vehicle's lights, body appearance, suspension, sunroof, and tires, ensuring the lights function properly, the body has not been repainted, and the suspension has not been modified. Emission test: ensuring the vehicle's exhaust emissions meet national standards during high-speed operation. On-road test: primarily testing the vehicle's braking system, headlights, horn, and chassis. Violation check: all traffic violations must be resolved before the inspection to pass. Vehicle inspections can be conducted up to 90 days in advance but must not be overdue. The consequences of overdue inspection, as per the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," are as follows: Vehicles that fail the annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road. Driving an overdue vehicle results in a 3-point penalty and a 200 CNY fine. If an accident occurs involving an overdue vehicle, the owner bears full or primary responsibility, and insurance will not cover the damages. Driving an overdue vehicle is considered illegal and may result in vehicle impoundment.
