Can You Continue Driving with a Faulty Spark Plug?

You can continue driving for a short period with a damaged spark plug, but it should be replaced promptly. Methods to determine if a spark plug is faulty: Remove the spark plug and observe its condition based on the following appearance characteristics. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes should appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug is covered in oil or deposits but not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, showing signs like blistering, black streaks, cracking, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plug with a new one. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates the wrong heat range was selected, the air-fuel mixture is too rich, or there is oil leakage.

Does a New Car Need Polishing Before Crystal Coating?

Crystal coating a new car does not require polishing. Whether polishing is needed before crystal coating a new car mainly depends on the following factors: 1. If the new car has just been delivered and hasn't undergone long-distance transportation or prolonged storage, the paint surface will be smooth without an oxidation layer. In this case, polishing is unnecessary, and crystal coating can be applied directly. 2. If the car has been transported over long distances or stored for an extended period, resulting in a noticeable oxidation layer on the paint surface, light polishing is required to remove it. This ensures the crystal coating adheres fully to the paint surface, providing effective protection. Additional Information: 1. Waxing can be done after crystal coating, but it is not necessary. 2. Crystal coating is essentially an upgraded version of car waxing. It enhances the brightness and hardness of the paint, offering protection. After crystal coating, car owners will notice that the paint appears more transparent and glossy, with increased resistance to scratches and corrosion.
