Proper polishing will not significantly affect the original car paint. Below is extended information on the impact of car polishing: 1. Waxing and glazing themselves do not harm the car paint; instead, they better protect it. 2. Avoid frequent polishing and grinding during waxing and glazing processes, as this can thin the paint over time and may even lead to burn-through. Below is the car polishing process: 1. Remove contaminants from the paint surface through surface pretreatment, eliminate severe oxidation, minor scratches, and surface defects. Use water sandpaper to remove surface imperfections, employing 3M1500-2500 Imperial Water Sandpaper. 2. Spray a small amount of water on the paint surface and use P1500 pyramid sandpaper with a dry grinder to cover the entire surface in all directions once, leaving the paint in a matte state. After sanding, use a rubber squeegee to remove white foam from the surface. Inspect the paint to identify prominent defects, then spray a small amount of water on the sanding disc to remove them. 3. Use a dry grinder with P3000 pyramid sanding discs and a dry sanding pad to finely sand the polished surface. Spray a certain amount of water on the sanding disc and paint surface, then quickly move the grinder in all directions twice over the entire surface. After sanding, use a rubber squeegee to remove water and white foam from the surface.

Can I get my license plate immediately after successfully selecting a new car number?

You can get your license plate immediately after selecting the number, as selecting the number is part of the license plate application process. Car license plate application process: After the owner selects the car model and pays the purchase price, the dealer will provide the manufacturer's car quality certificate and a three-day vehicle movement permit, and issue a purchase invoice. When issuing the purchase invoice, the owner needs to provide their name and ID number. The owner should take the tax payment copy of the purchase invoice, a copy of the car quality certificate, the original and copy of the ID card (for corporate vehicles, the enterprise organization code certificate and official seal are required) to the vehicle purchase tax office to purchase the vehicle purchase tax. After completing the vehicle purchase tax, the owner can submit the relevant documents, the registration copy of the purchase invoice, the original car quality certificate, the original and copy of the ID card (must be copied on A4 paper) to the vehicle management office for approval and license plate application. Upon arrival at the vehicle management office, first obtain a new car registration form (for corporate vehicles, it must be stamped with an official seal), accurately fill in the owner and vehicle information (with guidance available), and then queue to submit. The vehicle will undergo an external inspection to verify the engine number, chassis number, vehicle model, etc. After the external inspection, go to the insurance hall to purchase relevant vehicle insurance (compulsory insurance and other commercial insurance). After completing the vehicle insurance, proceed to the registration hall to complete the vehicle registration process. In the hall, pay the vehicle and vessel tax, road toll, vehicle license, and other related fees. After paying the relevant fees, the owner can start randomly selecting their license plate number on the computer. After selecting the license plate number, the plate can be installed. After installing the new plate, the vehicle must be photographed for records. Print the glass anti-theft number and receive the exhaust emission certificate. The final step at the vehicle management office is to receive the vehicle license and vehicle registration certificate (property certificate). The owner should take the vehicle license, the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, and the vehicle registration certificate to the vehicle purchase tax office to collect the tax booklet. The owner can then register and pay the road maintenance fee at the road maintenance fee collection office with the registration copy of the purchase invoice, vehicle license, tax booklet, and vehicle registration certificate.

How to Keep Warm Inside the Car in Winter?

Methods to keep warm inside the car in winter include: Wait 30 seconds to 1 minute after starting the engine before driving. Maintain relatively low RPMs and accelerate evenly during warm-up, as the gaps between moving parts in the engine are larger at low temperatures, and the engine hasn't reached its optimal operating temperature. Rapid acceleration at this stage can cause excessive wear on components like pistons, connecting rods, and crankshafts. Precautions for keeping warm inside the car in winter include: 1. Avoid turning on the heater immediately after a cold start, as it not only provides poor heating efficiency but also adds extra load on the engine. 2. Never sleep in the car with the heater on while the vehicle is stationary. If the heater is running with the windows closed, the increased concentration of carbon monoxide from the exhaust can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
