Glossy gold oil does not corrode the original car paint. Relevant introductions are as follows: 1. Definition: Glossy gold oil is a type of transparent resin paint. Theoretically, touch-up painting can be done without applying glossy gold oil. However, in practice, it is recommended to apply glossy gold oil. Since there will always be some color difference between the touched-up paint and the car's original paint, to eliminate the visual color difference, glossy gold oil needs to be applied around the touched-up area for a smooth transition. 2. Function: After body repair and painting, the color and gloss of the painted areas may differ from the surrounding unpainted areas, affecting the overall aesthetics. The role of glossy gold oil is to blend the color of the repaired area with the surrounding parts, enhance the gloss of the repaired area, and make the differences less noticeable.

As an average car owner, after driving for five or six years, I've found that high-gloss polish itself doesn't corrode the original car paint—it's actually a protective product. For example, I've used Turtle Wax's high-gloss polish several times on my car, and the paint became smoother and more glossy as a result. The key is choosing reputable brands, as products from small workshops might contain acidic substances that could cause corrosion. When applying, make sure the paint surface is clean and dry, and avoid direct sunlight during application. Regular application can prevent paint oxidation and scratches, extending the vehicle's lifespan. Personally, I wax my car once a month, combined with normal washing habits, and I've never encountered any issues. In short, don't worry—just pick a good product, and you'll save money while staying worry-free.

What sound does a faulty exhaust valve make?

Exhaust valve failure will produce a whistling sound. When the exhaust valve is damaged, it cannot control the amount of exhaust gas recirculation. Excessive exhaust gas participating in recirculation will affect the concentration of the air-fuel mixture. The car may experience difficulties in starting, engine shaking, unstable idle speed, and weak acceleration, which can impact engine performance. The function of the car exhaust valve is to allow exhaust gas to recirculate into the cylinder for combustion. This small amount of exhaust gas reduces the temperature in the cylinder during combustion. Since nitrogen oxides are generated under high-temperature and oxygen-rich conditions, the formation of nitrogen oxides is suppressed, thereby reducing the NOX content in the exhaust gas. Reasons for exhaust valve damage include: 1. Poor quality of the exhaust valve itself; 2. Improper maintenance; 3. Poor fuel quality; 4. The exhaust valve operates at high engine temperatures, and over time, it will age like the valve cover gasket and rubber seals.

What is the use of L gear?

L gear is a low-speed gear that can be used when going up or down steep slopes. When L gear is engaged, the transmission will maintain a lower gear without upshifting. In low gear, the torque on the wheels increases, making it more suitable for climbing slopes. When descending a slope, engaging L gear allows the use of engine braking to slow down the vehicle. Some models on the market may have L1 or L2 marked on the L gear, corresponding to the restricted gear levels. The vehicle will not shift above the restricted gear, but it can only be engaged at sufficiently slow speeds; otherwise, the transmission will not respond to the gear-shifting operation.
