If the scratch is only superficial and affects the top layer of paint, immediately treat it with a compound, using a straight-line wiping motion. Once the scratch disappears, wipe it with a finer compound and then apply wax. This method allows for quick repair of car paint scratches. Additional information is as follows: 1. Performance: The main characteristics of car paint performance include excellent film fullness, high gloss, high hardness, strong adhesion, superior mechanical properties of the paint film, outstanding gloss retention, weather resistance, and abrasion resistance, as well as good resistance to acids, alkalis, alcohol, and gasoline. 2. Types of Car Paint: The main components of standard paint are resin, pigment, and additives; metallic paint contains aluminum powder, giving it a shiny appearance when finished; pearl paint incorporates mica particles. If metallic paint is coated with a clear layer, the paint will appear dazzling.

What does the highway ETC system refer to?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC toll collection method: Through microwave-specific short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses internet technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge and tunnel toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license, and the photocopy of the driver's license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; Credit card application form, which is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS slip to the designated outlet to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no fees charged during the process; Be between 18 and 60 years old; Own a vehicle under personal name. Below are precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct 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 this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it casually: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed casually, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable, requiring a visit to an ETC service point for unlocking. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note: 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 in front. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may prevent the vehicle device information from being read, leading to failed toll deductions. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction failure.

Are All Three Photos Necessary for Running a Red Light?

Yes, the determination is made based on three photos captured by electronic cameras. The first photo shows the vehicle crossing the stop line at the intersection, including the red traffic light and license plate number. The second photo captures the vehicle completely passing the stop line, also including the red traffic light and license plate number. The third photo shows the vehicle continuing to move, primarily by comparing the vehicle's position in the second photo to confirm movement, again including the red traffic light and license plate number. Capturing these three photos is sufficient to determine that the vehicle ran a red light. Running a red light is clearly defined in the Road Traffic Safety Law. Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light permits passage, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage. If a vehicle passes through an intersection during a red light, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Six scenarios of running a red light: Stopping immediately after crossing the line at a red light: If a vehicle just crosses the stop line during a red light but stops immediately, this is not penalized as running a red light. However, if there is noticeable movement after crossing the line, it will be penalized. The three photos captured by electronic cameras for running a red light are: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are available will it be considered running a red light. Running a red light under police direction: When there is a conflict between the traffic signal and a police officer's gesture, drivers must follow the officer's on-site instructions. If a driver runs a red light due to police direction, they can obtain a diversion certificate from the local traffic police station to avoid penalties. If the driver disputes the penalty, they can appeal through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation. Stopping after the entire vehicle crosses the line at a red light: If the entire vehicle crosses the stop line during a red light but does not continue moving, this is not considered running a red light but rather stopping beyond the line. Reversing after stopping beyond the line: Motor vehicles are not allowed to reverse at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, or tunnels. Violations may result in a warning or fine. Accidentally running a red light behind a large vehicle: Drivers must maintain sufficient visibility to see the traffic signals ahead and ensure a safe braking distance. Generally, if a vehicle following a large vehicle is photographed, it is due to rushing through the intersection. This behavior will be penalized as running a red light. Passing through an intersection during a yellow light: Traffic authorities state that Article 91 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that vehicles already crossing the stop line when the yellow light is flashing may continue to pass. However, if a driver continues to rush through after the yellow light is on, it will be considered running a red light if photographed.

What does 40tfsi mean?

40tfsi represents the g-value of the engine, which better reflects the car's acceleration. The 't' in tfsi stands for turbocharging technology, while 'fsi' refers to the fuel stratified injection engine. Stratified fuel injection technology is a type of lean-burn technology for engines, which allows for a lower gasoline content in the engine's air-fuel mixture, improving fuel efficiency. At the same time, this technology can also reduce the engine's fuel consumption. FSI can inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber, reducing the engine's heat loss, thereby increasing output power and reducing fuel consumption, benefiting both fuel economy and power performance.

What does sae0w20 mean?

sae0w20 is an engine oil viscosity grade. The number before the 'w' represents the freezing point temperature, with 0w oil corresponding to a freezing point of -35 degrees Celsius. The number after the 'w' indicates the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100 degrees Celsius; the higher the number, the higher the oil's viscosity. The primary functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear on moving parts, remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (cleaners) from the engine, neutralize acids produced by fuel and lubricant oxidation (cleaners), improve piston ring sealing, and cool the engine by carrying away heat from moving components.
