When applying, it's best to apply horizontally or vertically, similar to waxing, as this will result in a better appearance once dried. During the application process, many small bubbles may appear. It's essential to wipe these bubbles clean; otherwise, they will leave small pits once dried. After the black plastic parts regain their black color, they should be waxed. Even the plastic parts that haven't turned black should also be waxed.

I've encountered the issue of car plastic corrosion several times, usually caused by parking under direct sunlight or using strong cleaning agents. Simple solution: First, wash the corroded area with warm water and neutral soap, gently wipe off stains with a soft cloth, then apply a dedicated plastic restorer like Back to Black spray. Let it sit for a few minutes after spraying to allow absorption, and perform weekly maintenance to prevent new corrosion. If severe corrosion leads to cracking or brittleness, stop DIY attempts and consult a professional shop to check if part replacement or protective paint coating is needed. For daily care, I recommend parking in shaded areas and avoiding chemical spills to prolong plastic lifespan.

Which Kia models are priced between 30,000 to 50,000 yuan?

There are two Kia models priced between 30,000 to 50,000 yuan: Kia Pegas: The Pegas is Kia's entry-level compact car, making it an ideal choice for commuting. Its biggest advantage is its spacious interior, which is quite rare in this vehicle class. The 1.4L naturally aspirated engine may lack power, but it compensates with excellent fuel efficiency. However, the comfort level and interior materials are average, which is understandable given its price point, and consumers tend to be more forgiving in this regard. Kia Stonic: The Stonic is a compact SUV under the Kia brand, suitable for young commuters. Its main advantage is its well-equipped features at a very competitive price. Design-wise, the Stonic isn't extraordinary but still carries some stylish elements. However, its cabin space is somewhat limited, barely meeting family needs. The powertrain performs modestly but excels in fuel economy.

What are the techniques for removing yellow stains on white cars?

Yellow stains on white cars can generally be removed gently with polishing wax. If polishing wax is not available, toothpaste can also be used for removal. For severe stains, car wash clay can be used for cleaning, followed by polishing and then sealing glaze or wax treatment. The causes of yellow stains on white cars and their removal methods are introduced as follows: 1. Yellow stains caused by dust and impurities: When a car is driven in areas with heavy dust, dust and impurities can be left on the white paint surface. Some impurities are more stubborn and cannot be removed with ordinary cleaning, such as asphalt and bird droppings. These impurities have strong adhesion and require the use of special cleaning agents for wetting, stain removal, and rinsing to be completely removed. 2. Yellow stains caused by paint aging: If the car paint surface is exposed to sun and rain for a long time without timely care, the paint can easily age and form spots on the surface. Some cars that are parked for too long or soaked in acid rain may also suffer severe corrosion. In such cases, the paint surface needs to undergo pathological treatment, which involves using abrasive wax to grind and polish the affected paint surface.

Can the Buick GL8 use 92-octane gasoline?

The Buick GL8 comes in two models: 2.5L and 2.0L. The Buick GL8 2.5L can use 92-octane gasoline, as the vehicle's manual recommends using 92-octane or higher-quality unleaded gasoline. However, the Buick GL8 2.0L is better suited for 95-octane or higher gasoline for optimal engine performance. Below is additional information: Replacement Cycle: Typically, manual transmission fluid should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers or 2 years, while automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers or 3 years. Precautions: You can determine whether the gear oil needs replacement by observing the feel of daily gear shifting. Generally, replacing gear oil within 20,000 kilometers poses no issues. Beyond 20,000 kilometers, pay attention—if gear shifting remains smooth and transmission noise changes little, you can continue driving with confidence. However, if gear shifting becomes noticeably rougher and less smooth than before, or if transmission noise increases significantly after 100 kilometers, the gear oil must be replaced promptly, regardless of whether the mileage is 30,000 or 40,000 kilometers. Otherwise, it will exacerbate gear friction in the transmission, leading to premature major repairs. Replacing gear oil too frequently results in unnecessary waste, so timing is crucial.
