Polishing refers to the processing method that utilizes mechanical, chemical, or electrochemical actions to reduce the surface roughness of a workpiece, thereby achieving a bright and smooth surface. The following are the benefits of polishing: 1. Remove oxidized paint and various foreign objects on the car body; 2. Enhance the car's ability to resist water erosion on the paint surface; 3. Improve the car's ability to reflect ultraviolet rays, reducing damage; 4. Strengthen the hardness of the paint surface, reducing scratches; 5. Maintain the brightness and depth of the paint surface. Extended content: The method for car polishing and waxing is: 1. Use tape to mark out the areas that need waxing; 2. Pour an appropriate amount of polishing agent onto a green sponge block; 3. Wipe back and forth in a straight line along the scratched areas; 4. After a few minutes, wipe clean with a soft cloth; 5. Check the waxing effect after wiping is complete.

The biggest benefit of polishing is restoring the shine to the car paint, making it look exceptionally pleasing. After driving my old car for several years, the paint had turned somewhat gray and dull, with an oxidized layer accumulated from daily exposure to wind and sun. After polishing, the entire car gleamed like a mirror, and the previously visible fine scratches disappeared. The abrasive used during polishing also fills in tiny imperfections, making the surface incredibly smooth to the touch. More importantly, this treatment acts like a protective shield for the paint, defending against rain and UV rays, slowing down rust and fading. Some polishing treatments are combined with waxing, doubling the protective effect on the paint. I tried it once myself and found that washing the car became much easier afterward, as dirt didn't stick as easily. If you're planning to sell the car, a shiny paint job can even help negotiate a higher price.

Are BMW Antifreeze and Coolant the Same Thing?

BMW antifreeze and coolant are not the same thing. The differences between automotive antifreeze and coolant are as follows: 1. Coolant refers to the liquid that can lower the engine temperature; antifreeze, whose full name is antifreeze coolant, is a liquid that prevents the radiator from freezing and cracking and the engine cylinder block from freezing in cold winters. 2. Coolant only has a cooling effect, while antifreeze has both cooling and antifreeze effects. For example, coolant can be water or antifreeze. 3. If the coolant is water, it will be affected by cold seasons. Antifreeze is a coolant with antifreeze function and can be used all year round. 4. Coolant is composed of ethylene glycol, dye, pure water, and coolant additives.

Refrain from high-speed driving; 6. Use high-quality gasoline; 7. Do not remove the speed limiter prematurely; 8. Shift gears timely; 9. Properly adjust the ignition system and fuel supply system. The break-in period for a new car is about 1 year, referring to the initial driving period after leaving the factory to allow smooth wear-in of engine components, with a recommended mileage of 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. The first maintenance for a new car should be performed at approximately 5,000 kilometers.

How to Determine if the Highlander's Brake Light is Broken?

Here is an introduction on how to determine if the Highlander's brake light is broken: 1. Check if the bulb is not lit. You can determine if the brake light is damaged based on whether the light is on or not. 2. Step on the brake pedal to see if the bulb fails to light up. 3. If the brake light bulb is not damaged, check if the fuse is blown. Brake lights are generally installed at the rear of the vehicle, with the main body color being red to enhance the penetration of the light source. This ensures that vehicles behind can easily detect when the vehicle in front is braking, even in low visibility conditions, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions.

How many kilometers can a BMW X2 drive after the oil warning light comes on?

It is best to stop the BMW X2 immediately when the oil warning light comes on, as it indicates that the engine oil is severely insufficient. There are three scenarios for oil pressure warnings: 1. The warning occurs during engine startup and disappears shortly after normal startup; 2. High-temperature warning, where the warning does not appear during startup but occurs during normal operation or high-speed driving; 3. Continuous warning, where the alert persists from startup to operation. Precautions: When such a warning appears, it is necessary to analyze the engine on one hand; on the other hand, it may be due to the use of oil with a low viscosity grade or poor sealing causing leakage, requiring the replacement with a higher viscosity grade gasoline engine oil.

Why Doesn't the Wiper Blade Clean Properly?

There are two main reasons why wiper blades don't clean properly: 1. The sticky secretions from insects adhere to the car windshield, creating an uneven surface that's difficult to wipe off; 2. When parked downwind of a central air conditioning cooling tower, the fine water particles sprayed from the tower settle on the glass, forming small white spots that are hard to remove. Wiper blades, also known as windshield wipers, are blade structures installed in front of the windshield. Their components include an electric motor, reducer, four-bar linkage mechanism, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade. The function of wiper blades is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct the driver's view.
