It can cause the glass to become rough and increase the friction coefficient, but the coating can be washed off, causing little damage to the glass. The relevant introduction about coating is as follows: Coating Introduction: Car coating is a paint protection project that applies non-petroleum environmentally friendly materials such as glass cellulose, silicon polymer, fluorine polymer, and high-purity water to evenly coat the paint surface with a hard, oxidation-resistant inorganic film. Through a chemical reaction with the paint, it forms a glass protective layer to shield the paint from external damage, enhance paint hardness and brightness, and make the car body smoother and more lustrous. Coating Function: Car coating agents differ from car wax in that their molecules are smaller, forming a tighter and more durable protective layer on the car's paint surface. This layer can repel water, resist acid rain, block UV rays, and prevent paint oxidation and fading.

I use a coating spray on the windshield mainly because it forms a protective layer that is very practical for waterproofing and dustproofing. During daily driving, rainwater or mud splashes can easily stick to the windshield, obstructing the view, which is quite dangerous. After coating, the surface becomes smooth, and rainwater slides off with just a rinse, reducing the need for wipers and minimizing wear. It also protects against UV rays, preventing the glass from aging due to sun exposure and extending its lifespan. Some premium products contain hydrophobic agents, causing water droplets to roll off quickly, providing an exceptionally clear view. Additionally, the anti-static function reduces dust adhesion, making it easy to clean the glass with just a wipe. The cost is also low—applying it once can last for several months, making it a handy car maintenance trick. Overall, the main reasons are to enhance driving safety and convenience.

What are the common issues with the M272 engine?

M272 engine common issues are: balance shaft wear, timing chain skipping, vacuum valve lever breakage, and camshaft position sensor prone to failure. After a certain mileage or period of use, the engine's balance shaft will wear severely, leading to timing chain skipping. In mild cases, it results in sluggish acceleration, while severe cases may cause engine shaking and failure to start, even damaging the valves. The M272 engine is a star model from Mercedes-Benz, evolved from the M112 engine, delivering a maximum power of 200kW at 6000 rpm and a peak torque of 350Nm between 2500 to 5000 rpm.

What are the correct steps for using a rotary electronic gear shifter?

The correct steps for using a rotary electronic gear shifter are: 1. Set the rotary shifter to the D position to enter automatic mode; 2. Set the rotary shifter to the R position to enter reverse mode; 3. Set the rotary shifter to the R position to enter reverse mode; 4. Set the rotary shifter to the P position for long-term parking; 5. Set the rotary shifter to the S position to enter sport mode. The electronic gear shifter mainly consists of a shift lever and a shift lever sensor control unit. When the driver shifts into P, R, N, D, S, or M gear, the shift lever sensor sends an electrical signal, which is transmitted directly to the transmission via the sub-bus to execute the command.

How to activate navigation in Lavida Plus?

After starting the Lavida Plus, simply press the power button to automatically activate the navigation system. The car navigation features GPS global satellite positioning functionality. Drivers only need to input the destination into the navigation system, and it will automatically calculate the most suitable route based on electronic maps. During driving, it provides turn-by-turn guidance and alerts for traffic congestion, helping drivers follow the optimal route. Taking the Lavida 2021 280TSI DSG Comfort Edition as an example: It's a compact car under SAIC Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4670mm (length) × 1806mm (width) × 1474mm (height), a wheelbase of 2688mm, featuring MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension.

What to Do When the Manual Gear Shift Lever Has Excessive Play?

Manual gear shift lever has excessive play solution is: 1. If the gap between the shift lever and surrounding rubber is too large, you can add a nylon sleeve in the original position to reduce the gap to normal range; 2. If the excessive shift play is caused by severe wear of the handle ball head, first replace the entire handle shift mechanism, then adjust the length of the gear shift cable and shift cable. The shift lever, also known as the operating lever, is used in the car transmission, its main function is to support the car's gear shifting. The shift lever is a rod component, the five-speed shift lever generally integrates the reverse gear function, and the shift fork and shift shaft fork need to be installed on the shift lever to achieve its functional combination.

What Causes the Deafening Resonance Sound Inside a Car Cabin?

The causes of deafening resonance sound inside a car cabin include: 1. Some enclosed spaces within the cabin form resonant cavities at specific fixed frequencies, which can cause resonance phenomena at certain frequency points; 2. Certain panels in the vehicle have special resonance points, such as the roof steel plate and front/rear door panels. Due to their thin steel material, relatively large surface area, and particular shapes, they may form resonance points at specific frequencies; 3. Loose installation of certain items in the cabin, such as audio systems. Generally, noises in the cabin can be categorized into various types, including mechanical noise, tire noise, and wind noise. Additionally, noise within the limited space of a vehicle consists of both direct noise and reflected noise. Sound absorption involves using special passive materials to alter the direction of sound waves and absorb their energy. Managing resonance noise in vehicles primarily targets mechanical sounds in the engine compartment and rear-end resonance noise. Proper arrangement of sound-absorbing materials can effectively reduce the reflection of sound energy, achieving the purpose of sound absorption and noise reduction.

How to Get Rid of Cockroaches in a Car?

Solutions for cockroaches in a car: 1. Cockroach spray: Spray cockroach spray into the corners of the car, then close the windows and wait for a day to kill the cockroaches. However, this method is not long-lasting, and chemical products are somewhat harmful to the human body. Note that after using the spray, ensure proper ventilation before entering the car, and clean up the dead cockroaches. 2. Cockroach bait or gel bait: Place some cockroach bait or gel bait in areas where cockroaches might appear, such as door gaps, under seats, or in the trunk, to act as a lure. Be cautious to prevent children from touching or ingesting it.
