The steps for applying car window tint film are: 1. Install interior protection for the vehicle; 2. Cut the car window tint film according to the window dimensions; 3. Wipe and clean the front and rear windshield glass; 4. Use a heat gun to shape the film; 5. After heating, perform fine trimming of the film. The heat insulation principle of the film is: It blocks heat through radiation and conduction. The high-performance metal film and magnetron sputtering film in car heat insulation films apply nickel and silver metal molecules to the safety base layer via sputtering. The metal layer selectively reflects various heat sources from sunlight. The functions of the window tint film are: 1. Block heat generated by infrared rays; 2. Block ultraviolet rays to prevent skin damage; 3. Safety and explosion-proof, as the film has strong tear resistance and puncture-proof capabilities; 4. Maintain privacy and safety; 5. Reduce air conditioning load; 6. Minimize accidents caused by glare factors.

I've installed window tint film myself before and have summarized a set of methods. First, prepare the tools: a specialized tint knife, squeegee, spray bottle, and heat gun. Park the car in a shady, dust-free area, thoroughly spray and clean the inside of the glass with soapy water, ensuring no dust remains. When cutting the film, leave a margin larger than the glass—I usually leave an extra 2cm. It's best to have two people work together during installation: one quickly peels off the film's backing paper and sprays water, while the other immediately aligns and applies the film to the glass, using the squeegee to push from the center outward to remove air bubbles. The corners are the most troublesome—soften the film with a heat gun before tucking it into the seals. After installation, let the film dry for a full day without opening the windows, allowing the moisture to evaporate naturally. A properly installed film like this can last three years without bubbles.

What is the Critical Inspection of Motor Vehicles?

Vehicle approaching annual inspection (safety technical inspection) means that small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every year within 5 years. If an operating motor vehicle passes the safety technical inspection within the specified inspection period, it will not be subject to repeated safety technical inspections. Below is Article 16 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles shall undergo safety technical inspections according to the following periods from the date of registration: (1) Operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every year within 5 years; after 5 years, they must be inspected once every 6 months. (2) Trucks and large and medium-sized non-operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every year within 10 years; after 10 years, they must be inspected once every 6 months. (3) Small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; after 6 years, they must be inspected once every year; after 15 years, they must be inspected once every 6 months. (4) Motorcycles must be inspected once every 2 years within 4 years; after 4 years, they must be inspected once every year. (5) Tractors and other motor vehicles must be inspected once every year.

Can passenger car ETC lanes be used by small vehicles?

Passenger car ETC lanes can be used by small vehicles because ETC tags do not distinguish between passenger cars and small vehicles. However, when registering an ETC tag, you will need to select whether the vehicle type is a passenger car or a small vehicle. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel, as vehicles can pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more updated, faster, and more technologically advanced. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. The installation process for ETC devices is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU; a red light will briefly illuminate, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield. The chip should be inserted into the OBU device.

Can a Bank-Financed Car Be Repainted?

Bank-financed cars cannot be repainted. Changing the color requires updating the vehicle registration certificate, but for cars purchased through installment loans, the vehicle registration certificate is not in the hands of the owner. Therefore, the owner cannot update the registration certificate, making repainting impossible. Otherwise, driving the car may result in being stopped by traffic police. Additionally, whether repainting is allowed depends on the approval of the lending bank. Without the bank's consent, color change registration cannot be processed. Repainting requires updating the vehicle registration certificate, but for bank-financed cars, the certificate is held by the bank, preventing the owner from making changes. Only after obtaining approval from the bank can the owner retrieve the vehicle registration certificate, visit the vehicle management office to apply for a color change, and complete the registration process as required. According to Article 6, Chapter 2 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, if the color change covers less than 30% of the vehicle's surface, no registration update is needed. However, if it exceeds 30%, the change must be recorded within 10 days after repainting. Notes on vehicle repainting: Before repainting, consult the local vehicle management office where the car is registered to confirm whether the area permits color changes using wraps. If the region does not allow this method, the wrap must be completely removed to restore the original color, as no registration update can be processed. Multi-color, special colors, or markings are prohibited. Large-scale wraps are not allowed, though small-scale wraps (e.g., covering one-third of the vehicle) can be applied for at the vehicle management office. Large-scale wraps may require restoration to the original color by authorities. Documents required for applying for a vehicle color change: Original copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form." Original and photocopy of the ID of the vehicle owner and their agent. Original vehicle registration certificate. Original vehicle license. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," owners no longer need prior approval from the vehicle management office to change the vehicle's color, install body kits, or replace the engine. They can apply for registration updates afterward. Article 10 states that registered vehicles must apply for a change registration under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of use (e.g., commercial to private or vice versa). Change of the owner's residence within or outside the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, Article 15 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China specifies that police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must display designated markings and install sirens or warning lights. Other vehicles are prohibited from using similar markings, sirens, or warning lights.
