Car polishing does cause a certain degree of damage to the paint surface. The steps for car polishing and the criteria for determining whether polishing is needed are as follows: Steps for Car Polishing: Wash the entire vehicle, sand with water sandpaper, use a mechanical grinder (electric or pneumatic) with coarse polishing compound to rough grind the marks left by the sandpaper, then apply polishing compound for fine polishing, use a mechanical polisher with a mirror-finish treatment agent to remove swirl marks left by the coarse polishing compound, achieving a mirror-finish effect on the paint film, and finally perform manual polishing. Criteria for Car Polishing: Polishing is necessary for vehicles used between 4 to 5 years, or when there are multiple minor scratches on the car's paint surface, in which case the scratched areas can be polished.

Is It Necessary to Clean the Fuel Injectors in a Car?

It is necessary to clean the fuel injectors in a car. Generally, the recommended frequency for cleaning the fuel system is every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. If the fuel injectors are not cleaned for a long time, it can lead to increasingly severe carbon buildup inside the engine cylinders, accelerated wear of the cylinder walls and piston rings, and issues such as unstable idling, increased fuel consumption, poor acceleration, and difficulty starting. In severe cases, the fuel injectors may become completely clogged, damaging the engine. A car's fuel injector is a simple solenoid valve. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, it generates a magnetic force that lifts the needle valve, opening the injection hole. Fuel is then sprayed at high speed through the annular gap between the needle valve's tip and the injection hole, forming a fine mist that promotes efficient combustion.

What does OPS mean?

OPS stands for Optical Parking System, commonly known as the parking assistance system, which is an extension of the parking radar's functionality. The working principle of the Optical Parking System involves analyzing, processing, and calculating the ultrasonic signals reflected back from obstacles detected by the parking radar's ultrasonic sensors. The colors in the Optical Parking System represent the distance between the obstacle and the rear of the car: the green line indicates a greater distance, the yellow line indicates a distance of 60 cm, and the red line indicates a distance of 30 cm. When reversing, the closer you get to the red line, the nearer the obstacle is. The components of OPS include radar probes that support OPS, related wiring harnesses, and modules.
