First, use your fingernail to lift one corner of the car film. If that doesn't work, you can try using a utility knife. Then, slowly peel off the car film. To speed up the process, you can use a heat gun to warm the film while removing it. Methods for dealing with adhesive residue left after removing window film: 1. Use solvents or alcohol: Apply organic solvents, industrial alcohol, or high-proof liquor to the adhesive on the glass. Use a cloth to wipe rather than touching directly with water. 2. Use a hair dryer: Blow hot air from a hair dryer to soften the adhesive on the glass. Once weakened, it can be removed more easily. For any remaining traces, use nail polish remover to wipe. 3. Use vinegar-soaked cotton or cloth: Soak cotton or cloth in vinegar and apply it to the adhesive spots on the glass, covering all affected areas. Once the adhesive is thoroughly soaked, you can gradually remove it bit by bit. 4. Use ethyl acetate: Gently wipe with a cloth dampened with ethyl acetate. The adhesive will come off quickly. Follow up with a clean cloth to wipe a few more times. Carefully scrape off any remaining adhesive, then use nail polish remover or hot water to completely remove all residue.

How Long is the Validity Period of a Temporary License Plate?

Temporary license plates are categorized into three types based on their validity periods: 15 days, 30 days, and 90 days. The details are as follows: 1. Different types of temporary plates have varying validity periods: For ordinary consumers purchasing new vehicles and driving temporarily within the administrative jurisdiction, a temporary license plate with a validity period not exceeding 15 days is issued (i.e., urban temporary plate); for temporary driving across administrative jurisdictions, a temporary license plate with a validity period not exceeding 30 days is issued (i.e., inter-provincial temporary plate). 2. Violations with temporary plates are still punishable: A temporary license plate is the only legal document allowing a new car to be driven on the road before the official license plate is issued. Owners should not take chances by driving secretly, as being caught by traffic police will result in the vehicle being impounded, the driver being required to provide the corresponding license plate, a 12-point penalty on the driver's record, and a fine of 200 yuan.
