Methods for smoothing out after applying a touch-up paint pen are as follows: 1. Sanding can be done using wet sandpaper. After the touch-up paint has dried, use high-grit wet sandpaper soaked in soapy water until soft, then sand the touched-up area in circular motions until it is flush with the original car paint. 2. Toothpaste can be used for polishing and wiping. Simply apply toothpaste to a towel and wipe the touched-up scratch area, which can achieve a polishing effect and make the surface smoother. 3. Both methods mentioned above can effectively smooth out the touch-up paint. It's important to note that the toothpaste used should not contain abrasive particles, avoid excessive force during sanding, keep the wiping area within the touched-up range to prevent damage to the original car paint, and perform careful and meticulous sanding. After sanding, it is recommended to apply a layer of wax for better results.

Why Do Highways Get Congested?

Reasons for highway congestion: 1. Traffic accidents ahead force following vehicles to slow down; 2. Severe weather conditions prevent vehicles from maintaining high speeds, turning expressways into low-speed roads; 3. Construction work reduces available lanes, affecting traffic efficiency. Expressways, abbreviated as highways, are roads specifically designed for high-speed vehicle travel. The road surface consists of three main parts: the main carriageway, ramps, and auxiliary lanes. The main carriageway, also known as the roadway, is divided from left to right into overtaking lanes, fast lanes, and slow lanes depending on the number of lanes. The average annual daily traffic volume for expressways should exceed 15,000 passenger car units, with design speeds ranging from 80 to 120 kilometers per hour.

What is the best way to clean engine carbon deposits?

Engine disassembly cleaning is relatively effective for removing carbon deposits. In terms of results, disassembly cleaning works very well, but the entire process requires a significant amount of time and effort. The engine needs to be dismantled, and then cleaning agents, ultrasonic methods, etc., are used to completely and thoroughly remove carbon deposits from the components. Other methods for cleaning engine carbon deposits include: 1. Hanging a bottle-shaped tool above the engine, pouring cleaning agent into the tool, and then introducing it into the engine through a tube to achieve the purpose of cleaning carbon deposits; 2. Injecting a cleaning agent into a machine, pressurizing it into the combustion chamber with the machine, allowing the cleaning agent to react with and dissolve the carbon deposits, and then extracting the waste liquid. After cleaning, the engine oil also needs to be replaced. Severe carbon deposits can alter the engine's original structural parameters, reduce engine power, increase fuel consumption, and in serious cases, can cause engine knocking, acceleration noise, damage to pistons and crankshafts, and may even lead to the engine burning oil, necessitating a major overhaul.

What to Do When Tire Pressure Is Too Low?

Solutions for low tire pressure: 1. If the car's air leakage is not severe, you can drive to the nearest tire repair shop for assistance; 2. If the tire pressure is too low to continue driving, use a portable air pump to inflate the tire slightly, then drive slowly to the nearest repair shop, or replace it with a spare tire before heading for repairs. When a car's tire pressure is too low, a noticeable symptom is increased fuel consumption. Low tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the road, leading to higher rolling resistance and consequently higher fuel consumption. Additionally, the tire's workload increases as the heightened friction raises its temperature, causing it to soften and reducing its durability.

What are the penalties for driving a vehicle without annual inspection?

If a vehicle is found to be driven without passing the annual inspection, the traffic police department will impound the vehicle. For motor vehicles driven on the road without displaying license plates, inspection qualification marks, insurance marks, or without carrying the vehicle registration certificate and driver's license, the traffic management authorities of the public security department shall detain the vehicle and require the owner to provide the corresponding documents, marks, or complete the necessary procedures. Motor vehicles can undergo annual inspection up to three months before the expiration date. It is recommended that owners complete the inspection one or two months in advance. The expiration date for the annual inspection can be found on the supplementary page of the vehicle registration certificate, which states the validity period of the inspection. For example, if the copy of the registration certificate indicates an inspection validity period until September 2018, the owner should schedule the inspection within July, August, or September. Conducting the inspection early will not affect the timing of the next inspection. Considering that most people tend to wait until the end of the month, leading to congestion, it is advisable to prepare for the inspection at the beginning of the month.
