Purchasing a paint protection film mainly depends on the owner's needs. If you plan to discard the car after three to five years, there is no need to buy it. However, if you aim to preserve the car's value or use it for several more years, then purchasing a paint protection film is advisable. The advantages of a paint protection film include: 1. Enhancing paint gloss. A paint protection film can improve the gloss and brightness of the car's paint, with varying effects depending on the brand, typically increasing brightness by 5%-30%. 2. Preventing physical scratches. The primary purpose of a paint protection film is to protect the car's original paint, especially against physical scratches. Minor scratches and abrasions can self-heal. It effectively prevents damage from road debris like stones and branches. 3. Preventing chemical corrosion. You won't have to worry about acid rain corrosion, oxidation, or damage from common road contaminants like bird droppings and insect remains. 4. Long-term value preservation. The transparent paint protection film perfectly safeguards the original paint while enhancing its brightness, adding aesthetic value. A well-maintained, brighter paint job can increase the car's resale value by 10%-20% in the used car market.

What is the reason for the continuous flashing of the handbrake light?

The reasons for the continuous flashing of the handbrake light are: 1. The handbrake is pulled up or the handbrake switch has poor contact, causing the light to flash. If the handbrake is pulled up, the handbrake light will keep flashing; release the handbrake to resolve this. If the handbrake switch has poor contact, the switch needs to be repaired. 2. Poor contact in the handbrake light's power wire or a broken wire harness requires repairing the handbrake light's power wire. Precautions for the handbrake light: 1. Engage the handbrake when parking on a slope for an extended period. 2. Do not pull the handbrake while driving at high speed. Pulling the handbrake directly during high-speed driving is very dangerous. The handbrake typically acts on the rear wheels; pulling it directly can cause the rear wheels to lock, leading to skidding or even a rollover.

Why is there no sound from the central control screen?

The reasons for no sound from the central control screen include: connection issues between the camera and the central control screen, camera malfunction, or problems with the central control screen itself. Related introduction to car central control screens: 1. Definition: A full-touch central control screen refers to a car's dashboard that no longer uses traditional physical button or knob designs, but instead employs capacitive touch technology. Similar to smartphone screens, it responds to light touches, presses, or swipes. 2. Advantages: Full-touch central control screens not only significantly enhance the vehicle's technological and premium feel but also add a highlight to the car's otherwise less avant-garde interior design.

Is Washing the Car at Noon Harmful to the Paint?

Washing the car at noon can damage the paint. After being exposed to the midday sun, the car's paint surface becomes very hot. When cold water comes into contact with the hot paint surface, the temperature difference can make the paint brittle and prone to cracking. Precautions for car washing: 1. Avoid using hard water: Do not use anything other than soft water for washing, including hot water, alkaline water, or water with high hardness. These substances can damage the paint. Washing with hard water can leave marks and a film on the car's surface after drying. 2. Avoid using high-pressure water streams: Excessive water pressure can harm the car's paint. If there is stubborn dirt or mud on the car, soak it with water first before rinsing. Use a dispersed water stream for spraying.

What are the methods to identify a car's production date?

There are several methods to identify a car's production date: 1. Check the vehicle's factory nameplate. Every car has a nameplate embedded on it when it leaves the factory. 2. Look at the black characters in the lower right corner of the front windshield, which include the production date. 3. The production date can also be checked through the car tires. The production date on the original tires is the same as the car's production date. The vehicle identification number (VIN) also contains the production date, along with information such as the manufacturer, model year, vehicle type, body style, engine code, and assembly location. The VIN consists of three parts: the first part is the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI), the second part is the Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS), and the third part is the Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS).
