Generally, polishing once a year is sufficient, or it can be determined based on the actual condition of the car's paint, as polishing can significantly damage the paint. The methods for maintaining car paint are as follows: 1. Car washing: This is a maintenance method adopted by many car owners and is the most basic method. Whether parked or driven, the car body will inevitably accumulate some dirt. The composition of this dirt is complex and may contain acidic corrosive substances, which can cause some damage to the paint over time. Therefore, regular car washing can help protect the paint. 2. Waxing: This involves applying a layer of wax to the car's paint surface and then polishing it. Waxing helps prevent oxidation, isolate static electricity, and enhance the brightness of the paint surface. It effectively separates the paint from dust and harmful gases, thereby protecting the paint. 3. Coating: This involves applying a high-molecular film with good hardness and smoothness to the car's surface. This film solidifies directly on the vehicle's surface, meaning the paint is directly protected by this film. Even minor damage will not affect the paint surface.

Is the temporary license plate provided by the 4S shop or handled by oneself?

When applying for a temporary license plate, it can be handled by the car owner themselves or by the 4S shop as an agent, depending on the agreement between both parties. Here is some extended information: To obtain a temporary license plate, you only need to submit the car owner's ID card, vehicle certification, purchase invoice, and compulsory insurance certificate to the staff. After completing the review, payment, and other relevant procedures, you can immediately receive the temporary license plate. For the official license plate: If the car owner uses the on-site selection method (choosing from 10 or 50 options), they can usually get the official license plate right away, as these plates have already been made and can be issued immediately upon selection. However, if the car owner opts for self-selection or online selection, it normally takes about 7-15 working days to produce the plate before the owner is notified to come and collect it.

Which Driving Test Subject Does Parallel Parking Belong To?

Parallel parking is a component of Subject 2 in the driver's license examination. Further details are as follows: Definition of Parallel Parking: Parallel parking has become increasingly common in urban areas, especially as formal parking spaces grow scarcer. Many locations have converted street sides into parking spaces, creating 'parallel parking spots.' Specific Rules: Previously, parallel parking involved using four poles placed on the ground to symbolize the four corners of a parking space. One criterion for successful parking was whether the vehicle entered the space smoothly without touching these poles. After the implementation of new traffic regulations, parallel parking no longer uses poles; instead, ground markings define the parking space boundaries. For learners obtaining a C1 driver's license, the length of the parallel parking space is 1.5 times the vehicle's length plus 1 meter. The vehicle must be driven parallel to the direction of travel in front of the parking space, then reversed into the space without any pauses. As long as the vehicle is parked within the boundaries without crossing the lines, it is considered a pass.
