The differences between coating and waxing are: 1. Time required: Coating takes about 3 hours; waxing takes 20 to 30 minutes. 2. Duration of effect: Coating lasts for about half a year to a year; waxing lasts for about 15 days. 3. Material composition: Coating is made of glass fiber, silicon polymer, fluorine polymer, and high-purity water-based non-petroleum environmentally friendly materials; waxing mainly consists of petroleum-based components. The functions of coating are: 1. Resists oxidation and aging of the paint surface; 2. Effectively blocks UV radiation; 3. Resistant to corrosion and high temperatures; 4. Protects against scratches and makes cleaning easier; 5. Maintains the brightness of the car paint, creating a mirror-like effect for 3 to 5 years or more; 6. Highly environmentally friendly, using water-based materials that do not oxidize and cause secondary pollution to the car paint. The functions of waxing are waterproofing, protection against acid rain, and reducing the amount of water droplets adhering to the car body due to the protective layer of wax.

How to Prevent Running Out of Gas on the Road?

Prevent running out of gas on the road with the following methods: 1. While driving, especially on long trips, always pay attention to the fuel warning light. When the light comes on, although it's just a reminder and there's still some fuel left in the tank, it's advisable to find a gas station as soon as possible to refuel to avoid running out of gas prematurely. 2. When the fuel is almost depleted, the car usually experiences jerking sensations. At this point, quickly turn on the hazard lights and pull over as soon as possible. If you want to coast to a suitable location using inertia, you can shift the transmission into neutral. 3. In case of running out of gas, calling for a tow truck is recommended. Alternatively, you can also consider calling for a fuel delivery service. While you can't get fuel yourself, 4S shops and companies providing roadside assistance can obtain gasoline. At this time, you can make a phone call to have some fuel delivered, which is also a viable solution.

What Are the Yellow Spots on a White Car?

Yellow spots on a white car may be caused by tree sap or reactions with the paint. Here are several methods to remove them: 1. Use a clay bar: For stubborn yellow spots that won't wash off, continue using a clay bar. This is the simplest and most direct method, though it is time-consuming and requires careful attention to completely remove them. 2. Iron particle remover: The process is straightforward—wash the car first, dry it, spray on the iron particle remover, wait about ten minutes, and then wash the car again. 3. Polish with microcrystalline polishing wax: Polishing can be somewhat damaging to the paint surface, as it essentially removes a layer of paint, and it also costs money. 4. After cleaning, apply wax to the car body to prevent the recurrence of small yellow spots on the white paint.

What Should You Pay Attention to When Driving on Windy Days?

Drive slowly to prevent vehicle deviation and try to avoid large vehicles. Here are the precautions to take when driving on windy days: 1. Visibility is reduced on windy days, so drive slowly to prevent the vehicle from deviating. While driving, correctly identify the wind direction, slow down appropriately, hold the steering wheel firmly, and prevent the driving path from shifting due to wind force. When driving against the wind, be aware of sudden changes in wind direction or sharp bends in the road to prevent a sudden decrease in wind resistance and a rapid increase in speed. Maintain the vehicle's lateral stability and minimize overtaking. 2. Try to avoid large or special vehicles. On windy days, the wind resistance coefficient is high, and oversized, extra-long, or extra-wide vehicles are easily swayed by the wind. Cargo on these vehicles can easily be blown off and obstruct visibility. 3. When driving in strong winds, remember to keep the windows closed. Drivers using air conditioning should switch to recirculation mode to avoid drawing outside air into the vehicle.
