No harm, on the contrary, it can play a protective role. Here are the specific details: 1. Waxing for new cars: After purchasing a new car, the paint surface is in good condition. Waxing can effectively protect the paint from oxidation caused by UV rays and maintain the paint's gloss. 2. Waxing frequency: Wax every 2 months or so; for vehicles parked outdoors, due to exposure to wind and rain, the interval can be slightly shortened. 3. Waxing preparation: Before waxing, thoroughly clean the dirt and dust on the car body. Do not blindly use strong alkaline detergents such as dish soap and soapy water, as strong alkaline detergents can oxidize the paint surface.

Ice wax is absolutely beneficial for car paint. I've been using it to protect my car. It's quick and easy to apply, forming a transparent film on the paint that effectively blocks damage from UV rays, rain, and dust. As an experienced driver, I can tell you that after waxing, the glossiness of the paint improves significantly, making the car look like new. Moreover, the special formula of ice wax makes it less likely to retain dirt, making car washing easier. Of course, it's important to follow the correct application method: ensure the paint surface is thoroughly clean before applying to avoid trapping sand or dirt. I make it a habit to wax every two months, and with long-term use, the paint ages more slowly and retains its color. For daily maintenance, choosing a good brand of ice wax and combining it with regular car washing doubles the reliability of protection, making car care effortless.

As a busy professional, I've found that ice wax has become my go-to solution for car maintenance. It has a positive impact on the paintwork by reducing the need for frequent washes, as rainwater and dirt don't adhere easily. After application, the car's finish shines brilliantly, and colleagues often ask about my secret. Having used ice wax for nearly two years, I've noticed it protects the paint from scratches, especially when parked outdoors, preventing damage from branches or bird droppings. Just remember not to apply it too thickly, as this can lead to residue buildup. Overall, ice wax has simplified my life, saving time and effort with no adverse effects on the paint. I highly recommend it to fellow time-strapped individuals.

I'm a car enthusiast, and the ice wax really boosts the look of my ride. It's great for the car paint, providing long-lasting shine and easy dirt removal. Every week when I take it out for a spin, the paint looks as fresh as when it was new. I chose ice wax because it's quick to apply and doesn't interfere with my other hobbies. It forms a protective layer against sun damage and corrosion. I recommend young people use it more often—it enhances the vehicle's visual appeal and saves maintenance time.

What system does the highway ETC belong to?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic road toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC charging method: Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, the system uses networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge and road toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a 'pass first, charge later' approach. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. The photocopy of the driving license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Credit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC vehicle-mounted device for free at designated outlets. No fees are charged during this process. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old. The vehicle must be registered under the applicant's name. Below are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not block the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation does not consider this, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid blocking the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to failed toll deduction. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction to fail.

What is the passing score for C2 Subject 2 driving test?

The passing score for C2 Subject 2 is 80 points. According to Article 35 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", the passing standards for each subject test are as follows: the full score for Subject 2 test is 100 points. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 is required to pass, while for other vehicle types, a score of 80 is sufficient. The C2 Subject 2 test consists of 4 items: reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, it excludes the hill start item. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the hill start and stop item is no longer assessed for C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests. Reverse parking is one of the more challenging items in the Subject 2 test, so many test centers arrange it as the first item. The key to reverse parking includes: the steering wheel turning point, the 30 cm correction point, and the parking point. Drivers must follow the prescribed route and sequence. The vehicle must be parked within the lines without crossing them. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the parking space with the rear wheels, observing the rear corner in the mirror, and maintaining the distance between the wheels and the left dotted line. There's no need to straighten the wheels after parking, but don't forget to use the turn signal when exiting. The vehicle body must not exceed the lines after parking, and the tires must not touch the lane boundaries during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is manageable for many students with good driving sense, indicating its moderate difficulty. However, some students misjudge the line positions during the actual test, leading to immediate failure. The key is to observe the position of the hood marker and the edge line. The wheels must not press against the road edge line. Right-angle turns are relatively easier, essentially a simplified version of the exiting part in reverse parking. The method to find the turning point is similar to exiting, based on the relationship between the hood's horizontal line and the front line (just touching or slightly delayed). Ensure the wheels do not touch the road edge line. Typically, the required training hours are 16 for C1 Subject 2 and 14 for C2 Subject 2. Completing the training hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 test. Hours can only be increased, not reduced, and additional test items require corresponding extra hours. Each training hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time no less than 45 minutes. If you fail Subject 2, you can retake it once. If you fail again, the test terminates, and you must reschedule after ten days. If you fail five consecutive test attempts (including retakes, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and you must start over from Subject 1.

Is it possible to run a red light without being caught?

If there are cameras, they will take photos. Whether it's running a red light while turning left or going straight, it is considered a violation of traffic laws. According to Article 38 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," vehicles must follow traffic signals, including traffic lights, signs, markings, and the directions of traffic police. If both the left-turn and straight signals are green, going straight from the left-turn lane is not allowed. When the left-turn signal is red, running the red light should be penalized. Here are some ways to avoid running a red light: Check the arrow light first, then the round light: There are two types of traffic lights: arrow signals and round signals. If arrow signals are present, check them first before looking at the round light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a round red light, right turns are allowed. However, if the right-turn arrow signal is red, right turns are prohibited, or it will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light turns on, do not let the front of the vehicle cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, resulting in a penalty for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, use it to judge. If there is no countdown, and the vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, it may proceed to avoid running the red light due to late braking. If the speed is slow and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to avoid running the red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians must follow the motor vehicle signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not penalized under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If caught by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the violation. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration with the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is extremely low, and even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. Blurred evidence photos may result in no penalty for mistakenly running a red light. Emergency situations: When rushing a critically ill patient to the hospital, running multiple red lights may occur. After delivering the patient, obtain proof from the hospital or the rescued person and verify it with the traffic police to clear the violation records. If possible, call an ambulance to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers must follow their hand signals. The traffic police department states that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light flashes may continue. If the yellow light is already on and the vehicle speeds through, it will be considered running a red light if caught.
