What is the purpose of automotive coating?

Here are the functions of automotive coating: 1. Anti-oxidation and anti-aging: After application, a hard inorganic (silicon dioxide glass crystal) coating layer is formed on the car paint surface, tightly bonding with the paint to enhance paint hardness and smoothness, completely isolating the paint from air, and never falling off without external force. 2. Glossiness: It can significantly improve the glossiness of the clear coat on the car paint surface, making the paint appear more vibrant and dazzling. 3. Corrosion resistance: The hard non-organic (glass crystal) coating layer itself does not oxidize while also preventing external corrosion from acid rain, insects, bird droppings, etc. The dense glass crystal coating has super corrosion resistance, effectively preventing damage from corrosive substances like acid rain and preventing paint discoloration. 4. High-temperature resistance: The glass crystal itself has high-temperature resistance characteristics, effectively reflecting sunlight and external heat radiation to prevent high-temperature damage to the paint. 5. Scratch resistance: The hard non-organic (glass crystal) coating layer can increase the surface hardness of the car body to 7H, far exceeding the 2H-4H hardness of car wax or glaze, providing better protection against damage from sand and gravel.

I found that ceramic coating mainly adds a protective shield to the car paint, making it harder for UV rays, rainwater, or bird droppings to stick, directly protecting the original paint from scratches or discoloration. This keeps the car looking shiny and new, and washing becomes super convenient—just rinse with water a few times and it's clean, saving me from queuing at the car wash. In the long run, ceramic coating is much more durable than waxing, lasting about a year with one application. It costs a bit but saves time and money on waxing. Additionally, it provides corrosion resistance, protecting against acidic rainwater or road debris, preventing damage to the paint and avoiding expensive repairs. I recommend choosing high-quality ceramic coating products and maintaining them regularly with mild cleaners to ensure long-lasting results.

The coating is amazing. After application, the car body becomes super smooth, water droplets roll right off without leaving marks, and you don't have to worry about the car getting dirty after driving in rain or on muddy roads. Just rinse it with a hose when washing—no need for strenuous scrubbing. It also makes the paint shine brilliantly, turning heads when parked outside. I've tried it myself—stains wipe off easily, even bird droppings aren't a problem. Although the initial cost is higher, it saves money compared to frequent waxing and reduces environmental impact. I now make it a habit to get it done annually. Friends recommend professional shops for better results, and daily maintenance is a breeze.

How to Remove a Sedan's Headlight?

After opening the sedan's engine hood, unscrew the dust cover by turning it in the direction of the threads, then press the wire spring clip near the base to remove the headlight. Below is the working principle of headlight height adjustment: 1. Manual Adjustment: Uses a sliding rheostat to control the motor for height adjustment. The driver can adjust the light angle via the lighting knob under the dashboard based on road conditions. 2. Automatic Adjustment: Converts signals from height position sensors into voltage signals through algorithms, then the headlight control module drives the motor to adjust the headlights. The vehicle is equipped with corresponding sensors that automatically detect the dynamic balance status during driving. 3. Some models lack headlight height adjustment functionality and thus have no adjustment button. Fine-tuning can be done by adjusting the small knob on the headlight assembly.

What is the fuel consumption of the Wrangler 3.8?

Wrangler 3.8l model's actual fuel consumption is 15.8 liters/100 kilometers. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Driver's driving habits, road conditions, weight of items placed in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period, among other factors, will all affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. Ways to reduce fuel consumption: Start in low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed; avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving; avoid excessive vehicle load and a full fuel tank; avoid using high-viscosity engine oil; try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brake.

Is the Leiling a Three-Cylinder or Four-Cylinder?

The Leiling is a four-cylinder model. Here are specific methods to distinguish between three-cylinder and four-cylinder engines: 1. On the mechanical level, the main difference between a three-cylinder and four-cylinder car lies in the number of cylinders. Since a three-cylinder engine has one less cylinder than a four-cylinder, its size is smaller. Three-cylinder engines are generally equipped with turbochargers to compensate for their smaller displacement and weaker power output. 2. In a three-cylinder engine, the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism applies complex variable forces to the crankshaft during operation, causing engine vibration. In contrast, inline four-cylinder engines have cylinders 1 and 4, and cylinders 2 and 3 moving up and down together, which helps suppress vibration to some extent. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz's four-cylinder engines also incorporate balance shafts.

Does Stage 1 ECU Tuning Affect the Car?

Stage 1 ECU tuning does have effects on the car: After ECU tuning, the car will require higher-quality gasoline. Using low-quality gasoline may damage the vehicle. The engine will also have higher temperature requirements. After ECU tuning, the engine operates at overclocked frequencies, and without an excellent cooling system, this can impact the engine's lifespan. The 4S store may refuse warranty coverage. Vehicles with modified ECUs can be denied warranty services by 4S stores. Here is additional information: The principle of car ECU tuning The operation of a car engine is controlled by the car's computer (i.e., the ECU). The ECU controls the engine's air intake, fuel injection, ignition timing, etc., thereby determining the engine's operational efficiency, power, torque, and other factors. Information such as air intake, fuel injection, and ignition timing corresponding to various engine speeds, gears, loads, temperatures, and other conditions is recorded in the ECU in the form of a database, known as the "M.A.P."
