The differences between baking paint and powder coating include: powder coating has poorer gloss and roughness compared to baking paint; powder coating is generally thicker than baking paint; it offers better adhesion and corrosion resistance than baking paint; powder coating requires higher curing temperatures and typically uses electrostatic application, while baking paint generally requires lower temperatures; surface treatment for powder coating can be simpler, not requiring a primer, whereas baking paint needs a primer during application. Baking paint is an industrial paint, divided into two types: water-based metal paint and oil-based metal paint. Water-based metal paint is an environmentally friendly coating using water as a solvent, while oil-based metal paint uses organic solvents. The method involves roughening the material slightly and then applying some paint. Baking paint is non-sticky, making the coating less likely to adhere to other substances, while the film exhibits good bonding properties. Additionally, baking paint is heat-resistant and has low friction. It offers excellent wear resistance under high loads, combining the dual advantages of wear resistance and non-adhesion under certain loads. Baking paint is resistant to chemical erosion, protecting components from any kind of chemical corrosion. Powder coating does not require thinners, making the process environmentally friendly and non-toxic to humans. The coating appearance is excellent, with strong adhesion and mechanical strength. The spraying process is shorter, and the coating's wear resistance is significantly higher, not requiring a primer. Some construction sites explicitly require the use of electrostatic spraying, which avoids the common flow issues seen in conventional spraying processes.

What Causes Water Dripping from the Chassis When Parking?

When parking, the reasons for water dripping from the car chassis are the drainage from the air conditioning system and water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car. Here are the specific reasons for water dripping from the car chassis: 1. High interior temperature activates the cooling system to lower the temperature, causing moisture in the hot air inside the car to condense. The water droplets are collected by the plastic casing of the evaporator and discharged outside the car through pipes. 2. The low-pressure pipes of the car air conditioning are not wrapped with insulating foam, causing moisture in the air to condense on the surface of the pipes. The water droplets accumulate at the lowest point of the pipes and drip down. 3. Gasoline injected into the cylinders mixes with air and burns completely in the combustion chamber, producing carbon dioxide and water. At high temperatures, the water is discharged into the atmosphere as gaseous water vapor. The muffler, located at the rear of the car, has a relatively lower temperature, causing the water vapor to condense into liquid water when cooled.

Does Learning Traffic Laws Directly Add Points?

Learning traffic laws does not directly add points, but rather deducts the recorded points after passing the study and examination. After receiving traffic safety education as required, eligible motor vehicle drivers can have their accumulated demerit points reduced, with a maximum deduction of 6 points. However, this cannot be used to deduct points for traffic violations that have not yet occurred. The point deduction through learning is a measure for licensed drivers who have been penalized with demerit points due to traffic violations. After completing online traffic safety education and passing the exam, their demerit points can be reduced. This initiative is a public service measure uniformly deployed by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. According to Article 5 of the Notice on Issuing the "Work Norms for Reducing Demerit Points of Road Traffic Violations by Accepting Traffic Safety Education (Trial)" (Public Traffic Management [2020] No. 14) issued by the Ministry of Public Security on January 14, 2020: Motor vehicle drivers who apply to participate in traffic safety education to reduce demerit points for traffic violations must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning and examinations, or traffic safety public welfare activities according to their highest permitted driving license type, and meet the relevant requirements to apply for demerit point reduction. Function: The point deduction through learning is aimed at reducing existing demerit points on the driving license, not adding points to the license, nor is it a substitute for penalty points. The points obtained through free learning are used to clear the demerit records. For example, if a violation results in 6 demerit points, passing the exam can clear these 6 points, allowing a fresh start. The number of points that can be deducted depends on how many points the driver had before participating in the learning program, but the total accumulated points cannot exceed 11. Whether participating in the point deduction program or not, the driving license only has 12 points. The program only reduces existing demerit points on the license, not increasing the total points to 18. Applicable Individuals: Motor vehicle drivers holding a driving license of the People's Republic of China, regardless of the license type or whether they are commercial vehicle drivers, can participate in the point deduction program. They must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning and examinations according to their highest permitted driving license type. Specific Rules: Motor vehicle drivers participating in online road traffic laws and regulations learning must complete continuous 5-minute study sessions each time, accumulating 30 minutes of study within 3 days. They can then register for an exam within 7 days. Passing the exam allows a deduction of 1 point. For on-site learning, each session must last at least 1 hour. After completing the required study hours, drivers can apply for an exam. Passing the exam allows a deduction of 2 points. Participating in offline traffic safety public welfare activities, each lasting one hour, can deduct 1 point. Accumulating 30 minutes of study within 3 days, with each session lasting at least 5 minutes, and passing the exam, can deduct 1 point. The maximum deduction in one scoring cycle is 6 points. Cases Not Accepted: If the driver had more than two full-score records in the previous scoring cycle. Within 3 scoring cycles, if the driver was involved in hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, or used forged or altered documents or license plates. If the motor vehicle driving license is in the probation period or has not been reviewed on time. If the motor vehicle driver has unprocessed traffic violation records. If the motor vehicle driver has vehicles with overdue safety technical inspections or unregistered vehicles. If the driver has already deducted the maximum of 6 points in the current cycle.

How to Adjust Modes on the Mercedes-Benz E300?

To adjust modes on the Mercedes-Benz E300, follow these steps: On the driver's right side, there is a dial on the tunnel cover—a round silver knob with buttons on the left. You can switch between S and C driving modes by pressing these buttons, and the selected mode will be displayed on the instrument panel. Additional information about the E300 modes is as follows: 1. E stands for Economy Mode. When this mode is selected, the engine may automatically coast (i.e., the engine idles, similar to an auto start-stop system) when you release the throttle during high-speed driving. The transmission will also shift up to higher gears more aggressively (reaching 9th gear earlier). However, in everyday driving, it is difficult to achieve better fuel efficiency than in C mode. 2. C stands for Comfort Mode, which is closer to the default standard driving mode. It provides a balance between power and fuel efficiency for general driving. 3. S stands for Sport Mode, though the basic vehicle stability assistance remains the same as in C mode.
