Paint protection film boasts exceptional toughness, wear resistance, non-yellowing properties, anti-adhesion, and impact resistance. However, it also has drawbacks such as high installation technical requirements and expensive pricing. Below are detailed introductions to paint protection film: Maintaining Paint Appearance: Paint protection film is a high-performance, eco-friendly new film widely used in the automotive film beauty and maintenance industry. It is a common term for transparent paint protection film, a polyurethane film containing UV-resistant polymers that prevent yellowing. With superior toughness, wear resistance, non-yellowing properties, easy adhesion, and impact resistance, it isolates the car paint from air after installation, protecting against acid rain, oxidation, and scratches for long-lasting paint preservation. Uneven Quality: Nowadays, many inferior products flood the market, mixing with genuine ones. Sold under the guise of paint protection film at low prices, these products often cause paint bubbling within six months.

After applying the paint protection film to my car, it looks as shiny as new, and the paint protection effect is amazing. The benefits include scratch resistance, protection against acid rain, and no worries about small stones scratching the surface during car washes. It also resists UV rays, preventing the paint from fading under intense summer sun. The downside is the high cost—cheaper options cost a few thousand, while premium ones can exceed ten thousand. It's crucial to have it installed by a professional shop to avoid bubbles or wrinkles. After installation, regular cleaning and maintenance are required, as it may yellow over time and become difficult to clean. Overall, it provides worry-free protection, but think twice before trying it—only consider it if you have sufficient funds.

Is the Engine Scrapped When Piston Collision Occurs?

Piston collision has a significant and severe impact on the engine. In mild cases, it can damage the valves and valve train. In severe cases, it can damage the pistons, crankshaft, connecting rods, cylinder head, etc., leading to the engine being scrapped. Causes of piston collision in car engines: Foreign objects entering the cylinder: Hard objects falling into the combustion chamber; intake or exhaust valve spring breakage, causing the valve to drop into the cylinder; mismatched pistons: During an overhaul, the geometric dimensions of the replaced pistons do not meet requirements, or the replaced connecting rod bearings are too thick, or the gaskets are too thick; damage to the cylinder block plane: Frequent cylinder head gasket failures can damage the cylinder block plane. If repairs take too long, the piston may rise to the top dead center, causing the piston top to exceed the cylinder block plane and the upper cylinder. Repair methods for engine piston collision: For minor piston collision, only the pistons and valves need to be replaced; for severe piston collision causing crankshaft journal bending, the crankshaft, connecting rods, and both big and small bearings must be replaced; for extremely severe piston collision that penetrates the cylinder wall, the cylinder liner, intake and exhaust valves, valve seats, valve stem seals, valve guides, valve oil seals, camshaft, etc., must be replaced.

Does sleeping in the car with the AC on consume fuel?

Sleeping in the car with the AC on consumes fuel. Impact on the vehicle: Running the AC for extended periods while idling can affect the vehicle's cooling system. When the vehicle is in the ignition state, the engine is operational, generating heat. While driving, the movement of the vehicle creates airflow, which helps dissipate some of the engine's heat. However, when idling, there is no airflow to assist in cooling, so the engine's heat can only be dissipated through the vehicle's cooling system. Carbon buildup: Prolonged idling can also lead to carbon buildup in the engine. Even without the AC on, extended idling can cause carbon deposits to form inside the engine.
