Difference between PPF and TPU for paint protection film: Paint protection film is a high-performance, environmentally friendly new-type film widely used in the automotive film beauty and maintenance industry. It is a common name for transparent paint surface protection film, also known as clear bra. TPU refers to thermoplastic polyurethane, which is one type of material used for paint protection films. Below are the functions of paint protection film: 1. Protection: Crystal clear transparency, wear resistance, scratch resistance, yellowing resistance, and impact vibration reduction. After installation, it provides protection against tar, tree sap, insect fluids, bird droppings, acid rain, and saltwater corrosion. 2. Repair: Maintains metal, ABS plastic, paint surfaces, and organic materials, and can repair minor scratches on poor-quality materials. 3. High-temperature resistance: Withstands water impact at 5MPA, high temperatures up to 150 degrees Celsius, and low temperatures down to -80 degrees Celsius; excellent composite materials maintain product performance on complex surfaces.

What to Do If a Car Is Not Driven for a Long Time?

If a car is not driven for a long time, the following measures should be taken: 1. Prevent the oxidation of the 'four fluids': engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, and windshield washer fluid. 2. Battery charge: If the car is left unused for more than two months, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery; only the negative terminal needs to be disconnected, and the positive terminal should remain untouched. 3. Chassis protection: Park the car on a flat surface to ensure proper tire pressure and prevent localized deformation of the tires during prolonged parking. 4. Rust prevention for the body: Address any damaged paint on the car body, even minor damage, to prevent rust from spreading.

Can ETC be attached at the black dot area on the windshield?

The black dot area on the car's windshield should not be used for ETC installation, as this position may obstruct the solar panel behind it from receiving sunlight. Additionally, the chosen ETC installation location must not interfere with the driver's line of sight. Where can ETC be installed: For small vehicles such as cars and minivans, the OBU device should be installed on the upper middle part of the windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is on the lower middle part. ETC installation requirements: The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane). The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and a red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the 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, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device.

What Causes Low Idle Speed in Cars?

Reasons for low idle speed in cars are as follows: 1. Spark plug carbon deposits: Carbon deposits can be cleaned to restore spark plug activity, but some spark plugs may be nearing the end of their lifespan, leading to reduced performance. 2. Clogged fuel injector or fuel line: Blockages in the fuel system, particularly in the fuel injector, can result in insufficient fuel supply pressure, poor fuel atomization, and an imbalanced air-fuel mixture, leading to incomplete combustion and related issues. 3. Faulty sensors: Malfunctioning sensors can prevent the ECU from accurately controlling the air-fuel ratio. Common examples include faulty coolant temperature sensors, oxygen sensors, and throttle position sensors.

What is the main function of the car's rearview mirrors?

There are three rearview mirrors in the car: the left and right side mirrors and the center rearview mirror. Their specific functions are as follows: 1. Left and right side mirrors: Their main function is to facilitate the observation of passing vehicles during overtaking and to help the driver overtake and yield to vehicles behind. 2. Center rearview mirror: It is primarily used to monitor the surrounding traffic flow, observe the actions of passengers, and more clearly see the distance maintained by vehicles behind you, allowing the driver to choose a safe driving position. Drivers should adjust the position and angle of the rearview mirrors before driving. During driving, vehicle vibrations may cause changes in the position and angle of the rearview mirrors, so it is important to observe and adjust them promptly.

Can 5w40 engine oil be used in summer for cars?

5w40 engine oil can be used in summer as its higher viscosity provides better lubrication and protection for the vehicle. Here are some precautions for using engine oil in summer: 1. Temperature: Due to the higher ambient temperature, special attention should be paid to the engine cooling system to ensure its normal operation and prevent engine overheating. 2. Oil selection: Multi-grade or single-grade oil should be chosen for summer use. 3. Heavy-duty or older vehicles: Lubricants with higher viscosity should be selected to avoid low oil pressure caused by excessively low viscosity, which may lead to unnecessary malfunctions.
