Clay bar and waxing do not damage car paint. Functions: Waxing serves to waterproof, protect against acid rain, high temperatures, and UV rays. The thin film formed by wax can reflect some light, effectively preventing paint aging. Additionally, car wax can reduce static electricity, which means less dust adhesion, and it also provides a glossy finish, making the car look newer and more attractive. Reasons: Waxing and glazing themselves do not harm the car paint; instead, they offer better protection. However, many irresponsible car detailing shops frequently polish the paint during waxing and glazing processes to achieve an immediate glossy effect, which naturally thins the paint layer over time.

Where is the drain hole of the Teana car door?

Teana's door drain holes are located at the lower part of the door panel. Below is a partial introduction to the drainage system: 1. The drain holes of large vehicles are generally distributed in places such as the fuel tank cap, engine compartment, lower part of the door panel, and sunroof. The most prone to clogging areas are the sunroof and engine compartment. 2. There are many hidden drain holes in various parts of a car, and their proper functioning greatly affects the vehicle's usage. 3. Some car models do not have separate drainage pipes inside the doors; rainwater directly flows through the rust-proofed door panel and drains out. Once the door drain holes are clogged, accumulated water remaining inside the door panel can cause damage to the window regulator, audio system, and central door lock.

What is the method of identifying engine oil with a tissue?

The method of identifying engine oil with a tissue is: Dip the oil dipstick into the engine oil and drip it onto a tissue. The oil will spread outward, forming concentric rings with varying shades of color on the tissue. From the inside out, these rings are the deposit ring, diffusion ring, and oil ring. If the darker deposit ring is prominent, the oil needs to be changed immediately. The functions of engine oil are: 1. As a lubricant, it reduces friction and wear between moving parts; 2. As a coolant, it absorbs heat generated in the engine combustion chamber and piston top, cooling the engine and preventing overheating; 3. As a sealant, it fills the gap between the piston rings and cylinder liner to prevent leakage of combustion pressure.
