Banana oil. Also known as thinner. Banana oil can be used to dilute paint and also has a good cleaning effect on paint spots. Gasoline is a well-known cleaning agent with good cleaning effects and less corrosive than banana oil. It can be applied by wiping with a damp towel. As a traditional dedicated cleaning agent, it offers good cleaning effects and is also inexpensive. Relatively speaking, it is much more irritating than asphalt cleaner but still has certain cleaning effects. Also known as volcanic mud, it softens after soaking in water for a while. It has extremely strong cleaning power without being corrosive, making it one of the best-performing products.

I usually pay close attention to the exterior of my car. If paint drips onto it—for example, from accidentally parking near a construction site—I address it immediately to prevent spreading. First, I gently scrub the stain with warm water and a soft brush. If that doesn’t work, I apply a dedicated automotive paint remover, let it soften for a few minutes, and then wipe it off with a microfiber cloth. I always wear gloves to avoid allergic reactions. For prevention, I park in clean areas or use a car cover. Waxing the car monthly helps repel water and dirt while extending the paint’s lifespan. Delaying treatment is risky—hardened paint can erode the original coat, potentially leading to costly sanding and repainting, as well as lowering the car’s value. Making it a habit to inspect the body regularly and clean minor stains promptly saves money and ensures peace of mind.

Is the Windshield a Speed-Reducing Glass?

Automobile front windshields are not speed-reducing glass, as the so-called "speed-reducing glass" does not exist at all. Characteristics of automobile windshields: Car windshields are generally made into a large curved single-piece type with certain curvatures on all sides. This curved glass is a product with very high technical requirements, whether from the processing process or the fitting perspective, as it involves issues such as vehicle model, strength, heat insulation, and assembly. The reason for the speed-reducing effect when looking out through the car glass: Visual illusion. The variable people use to judge motion perception is not linear speed but angular speed (angle of view per second). Therefore, the more high-end the car, the longer the front part of the car, the greater the inclination of the front windshield, and the farther the driver is from the front of the car, the more obvious this "speed-reducing" effect becomes.

What is the difference between engine oil viscosity 30 and 40?

The specific differences between engine oil viscosity 30 and 40 are as follows: 1. Viscosity: There is a difference in viscosity. The number after 'w' in the oil grade indicates the oil viscosity. 40-grade oil has higher viscosity than 30-grade oil, and they are suitable for different vehicle models. 2. Low-temperature fluidity: The number before 'w' in the oil grade represents the low-temperature fluidity of the oil. 30-grade oil has better fluidity than 40-grade oil, which can reduce fuel consumption more effectively and allow the engine to dissipate heat faster. 3. Comprehensive performance: 40-grade oil also has better quality and overall performance compared to 30-grade oil. Under extremely high-temperature conditions of the engine, 40-grade oil provides better oil stability than 30-grade oil.

How to Identify China 5 or China 6 Emission Standards?

Vehicle conformity certificate indicates whether it meets China 5 or China 6 standards. Below is an introduction to China 6 emission standards: 1. Definition: The China 6 Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard is formulated to implement the 'Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China' and the 'Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China', aiming to prevent environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. 2. Implementation Timeline: On May 26, 2021, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment announced at a regular press conference that starting from July this year, China will fully implement the China 6 emission standards for heavy-duty diesel vehicles, marking the comprehensive entry of China's automotive standards into the China 6 era and achieving basic alignment with developed countries in Europe and America. Compared with China 5 standards, the China 6 standards for heavy-duty vehicles reduce nitrogen oxides and particulate matter limits by 77% and 67%, respectively.

What is the difference between dry transmission oil and wet transmission oil?

Dry transmission oil and wet transmission oil differ in the following aspects: Different environments: The clutch plates in a dry transmission complete torque transfer in the natural environment inside the transmission, while the clutch plates in a wet transmission are immersed in oil to complete torque transfer. Different oil volumes: A dry transmission requires only 1.7 liters of transmission oil, whereas a wet transmission requires 6.5 liters. Different compositions: A dry transmission uses multiple friction plates and metal diaphragm plates connected to the input shaft for power transmission. Power is transferred when the friction plates and diaphragm plates are pressed together and interrupted when they are separated. A wet transmission consists of steel diaphragm plates, friction plates, and inner and outer diaphragm plates. The outer diaphragm plates of the two sets of clutches are connected to the engine's drive plate, while the inner diaphragm plates are connected to the transmission's output shaft. When the inner and outer diaphragm plates and friction plates are pressed together by oil pressure, power is transferred from the engine to the transmission.

What to Do When the Remote Car Key is Locked Inside the Car?

If the remote car key is locked inside the car, you can try entering through the trunk. Additionally, some car models can be unlocked via a mobile app. Below are specific functions of car keys: 1. Closing Windows After Turning Off the Engine: Press and hold the lock button on the remote key to close the windows. This feature may also be available on regular family cars. 2. Finding the Car in a Parking Lot: Some car keys have a dedicated car-finding button. For certain vehicles, pressing the lock button twice will trigger a loud horn sound to indicate the car's location, making it easier to find the car quickly in crowded areas. 3. Automatic Trunk Opening: Many car models have a trunk-opening button on the remote key. Press and hold the trunk unlock button to open the trunk automatically. 4. Keyless Entry: You need to carry the car key, which will automatically match the car's decoder when near the vehicle. Press the unlock button on the car door handle to unlock the car.

Test Subjects: The content and passing standards for the test subjects are uniform nationwide. The test sequence follows Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4 in order. Only after passing the previous subject can one proceed to the next. 2. Examination: The processing desk reviews the identity proof submitted by the driver and the education certificate issued by the traffic management department of the public security authority. If the requirements are met, it will schedule a Subject 1 test for those who have scored full points once, and schedule Subject 1 and Subject 3 tests for those who have scored full points twice or more, issuing a test scheduling certificate. 3. Introduction: The motor vehicle driving test is an examination to obtain a driver's license, adopting nationally unified test content and passing standards.
