Black plastic can be permanently restored using plastic restorer. Here is an introduction to plastic restorer: 1. Plastic Restorer: Plastic restorer can restore the original color of aged and yellowed plastic, filling the gap where plastic aging problems were previously unsolvable. The product is simple to use; there's no need to disassemble the equipment casing. Using the product for just 2-4 hours can restore the plastic's original color, making the equipment look brand new. 2. Properties: This product is non-toxic, harmless, and pollution-free, making it especially suitable for the restoration and cleaning of washing machines, refrigerators, computers, copiers, printers, telephones, plastic doors and windows, and plastic pipes.

The whitening of black plastic is caused by surface aging due to sun exposure and oxidation. I've seen many cases like this while working at a car wash. Permanent restoration can't rely on temporary repair agents—those only provide surface-level results. Deep treatment is required: First, thoroughly clean the plastic with a specialized cleaner to remove stains and grease, then lightly sand the surface to open the pores. Next, apply a plastic restorer containing dye, which penetrates and forms a durable protective layer. I recommend using high-quality brands like Meguiar's black dye—applying two coats can restore the color to like-new condition and last for three to five years. After restoration, parking in a garage to reduce sun exposure can prolong the effect. Regular cleaning is also important, but avoid corrosive products to prevent damage to the plastic. Professional repair shops use oven coatings for a more thorough solution.

The bumper on my old car had turned white, which was really annoying. I tried various methods for permanent refurbishment, and the best solution was to clean it and then use plastic dye. Before starting, wear gloves, prepare alcohol to wipe the surface clean to ensure no dust, then use a sponge to apply black restoration paste, brushing several times for even coverage. I tried the heat gun method before, but it’s easy to damage and only works temporarily—chemical bonding from the dye is the permanent solution. Be careful not to apply it too thickly, or it may form lumps. Let it dry and cure in sunlight for a day. For a budget-friendly option, home brands offer good value. To prevent oxidation, park in the shade or use a sunshade. These simple steps can be done yourself, saving repair costs and improving the appearance.

Plastic whitening is caused by UV radiation and friction-induced surface degradation. Permanent restoration involves first cleaning to remove the aged layer, disinfecting with alcohol, then applying specialized plastic dye for coverage and repair. The dye penetrates micro-pores to lock in color and prevent fading. Choose reputable brands like 3M to ensure non-toxicity and durability. For maintenance, avoid high temperature and direct sunlight exposure to delay aging.

What is the fuel consumption of the Suzuki Handao 150?

The fuel consumption of the Suzuki Hanjun 150 is 6L/100km. The relevant introduction about car fuel consumption is as follows: Calculation formula for fuel consumption and how to calculate fuel consumption per kilometer: The calculation formula is: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = Fuel consumption (liters) / Distance traveled (kilometers) x 100. First, reset the odometer to zero, then fill up with a round amount of fuel, and continue driving. When the fuel indicator light comes on again, note how many kilometers have been traveled to calculate the fuel consumption per kilometer. Meaning of fuel consumption: Fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator of a car when driving at a constant speed on good road conditions. Since driving at a constant speed is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90Km/h and 120Km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in the manuals of domestically produced cars is generally the constant-speed fuel consumption.

What brand is the VDO fuel pump?

VDO fuel pump is a renowned German automotive electronics brand, specializing in automotive electronic products such as instruments, sensors, car audio systems, and electronic throttles. It was formerly part of Siemens and is now owned by Continental AG. Introduction to the mechanical diaphragm-driven fuel pump: The diaphragm-type fuel pump features a simple structure. However, due to the influence of engine heat, special attention must be paid to ensuring fuel delivery performance at high temperatures and the durability of the rubber diaphragm against heat and fuel. The electric fuel pump, on the other hand, is not driven by the camshaft but operates through electromagnetic force to repeatedly actuate the pump diaphragm. This type of electric pump allows flexible installation positioning and helps prevent vapor lock. Introduction to the electrically-driven fuel pump: The main installation types of electric fuel pumps for fuel-injected engines include in-line installation in the fuel supply line or in-tank installation. The former offers greater flexibility in placement, eliminates the need for specialized fuel tank design, and facilitates easy installation and removal. However, it has a longer suction line prone to vapor lock, produces more operational noise, and requires absolute leak-proof performance. This type is less commonly used in modern vehicles. The latter features simpler fuel lines, lower noise levels, and less stringent leakage requirements, making it the current mainstream trend.

What is the fuel consumption of a 1.6L engine idling with AC on for one hour?

1.6L engine idling with AC on for one hour consumes approximately 1.4-2.5 liters of fuel. Idling with AC on is very fuel-intensive because the compressor relies on the engine's idle operation, leading to incomplete gasoline combustion and carbon deposits. In severe cases, it can also produce toxic substances. Incompletely burned gasoline generates carbon monoxide and other toxic substances. If the car doors and windows remain closed for a long time, exhaust fumes can enter the sealed cabin, accumulating to a level that may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Introduction to car idling: Idling is an operating condition of a car, referring to the engine running in neutral. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size. When the engine is running, if the accelerator pedal is fully released, the engine enters the idle state. When adjusting the idle speed, the RPM should not fluctuate abruptly, as this can cause premature engine wear. It is best to have the idle speed adjusted at an automotive repair facility. Classification of car idling: Normal idle - when the vehicle is parked and the engine is started, the minimum stable engine speed is called parking idle; Driving idle - when the car is in gear, without pressing the accelerator pedal or releasing it during driving, maintaining the minimum throttle opening, the engine speed matches the parking idle speed, which is referred to as driving idle.

Why was the Dunlop LM705 discontinued?

Dunlop LM703 has not been discontinued but is being mass-produced in Changshu and Changsha regions. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction to Dunlop: Dunlop LM705 is the upgraded version of LM703, also a quiet and comfortable green eco-friendly tire. Compared to LM703, LM705 has improved in both noise reduction and vibration filtering. Dunlop LM705 adopts an asymmetric tread pattern, optimized tread contour design, and increased tread blocks, ensuring the tread maintains a circular shape upon initial contact with the ground. This not only helps in noise reduction but also suppresses the vibration generated when the tire contacts the ground. 2. Dunlop Features: The noise level of Dunlop LM705 is reduced by 25.9% compared to previous products, promising a different driving experience. Additionally, Dunlop LM705 excels in wet grip performance, thanks to its wide main drainage grooves, which enhance the tire's water evacuation capability. 3. Dunlop Characteristics: Dunlop LM705 has relatively low hardness in both the sidewall and tread, with a softer tread contributing to comfort and quiet performance. It features a 5-ply tread crown, consisting of 2 polyester layers + 2 steel layers + 1 nylon layer, and 2 polyester layers in the sidewall, which is common for tires in this category.
