After car painting, the time to wash the car can be divided into the following situations: 1. If the painting is done in a paint booth, you can wash the car as soon as the car is driven out, because the car has already stayed in the paint booth for 3 to 4 hours. 2. If the painting is done at a professional shop, you can wash the car after the staff hand over the car, because professional shops follow standard painting procedures, and washing the car after painting will not have any negative effects. 3. If the car is painted and picked up on the same day, it is recommended to wait 2 days before washing. Ensure sufficient ventilation and humidity, and you can wash the car after 6 to 7 hours. 4. In lower temperatures, it is advisable not to wash the car for a week, as the fresh paint is still fragile. Washing the car may cause the dirt and sand on the car's exterior to damage the clear coat on the paint surface during the scrubbing process.

What does the color display of the Accord's trip computer screen mean?

The color display of the Accord's trip computer screen indicates more media functions. A color screen is more aesthetically pleasing and vibrant compared to a monochrome one. The trip computer display generally refers to the screen on the instrument panel, which mainly shows the current status of the vehicle, such as instant fuel consumption, average speed, etc. Some models also allow vehicle settings to be adjusted through this display. There is a significant difference between monochrome and color screens for the trip computer, as detailed below: 1. For daily commuting in a family car, many functions are unnecessary, so there's no need to overthink it. 2.
