Scratches caused by car washing or sand and stones during driving can be repaired by car polishing. Below is relevant information about car polishing: 1. Market position: From the perspective of car polishing, market demand is substantial, while supply is slightly insufficient. Particularly, there are not many enterprises with core intellectual property rights and high-quality products, resulting in an overall lack of brand effect in the industry. During periods of strong demand, the industry demand is enormous, and the development prospects are undoubtedly good. 2. Polishing steps: After the car surface is sprayed, minor defects such as coarse particles, sandpaper marks, flow marks, whitening, and orange peel may appear on the paint film surface. To compensate for these defects, grinding and car polishing are usually performed after spraying to improve the mirror effect of the paint film, achieving the requirements of brightness, smoothness, and brilliance.

I've been into car detailing for over a decade and have performed polishing myself more than twenty times. Polishing works best for hairline scratches and swirl marks on the outermost layer of paint - those shallow scratches that don't catch your fingernail can usually be completely removed. Those small white-looking scratches visible under sunlight are actually clear coat damage, which can be eliminated with three passes using a medium abrasive compound with a foam pad. But be careful not to over-polish metallic paint, as the color layer is too thin and may reveal the primer. The roof is most prone to bird dropping corrosion marks that appear as spots, and timely polishing can prevent further corrosion. Remember, each polishing session actually removes a thin layer of paint, so limit it to twice a year maximum, and always apply sealant or ceramic coating to protect the newly exposed paint surface afterwards.

Will the car record conversations inside after the engine is turned off?

After the car engine is turned off, conversations inside the car can still be recorded. The dashcam can capture sounds inside the vehicle. Once installed, the dashcam can record video images and sounds of the entire driving process, which can serve as evidence in traffic accidents. Here are some details about dashcams: The role of the dashcam as a black box: While driving, it continuously records videos, simultaneously logging time, speed, and location in the footage, functioning much like a black box. The functions of a dashcam: In addition to recording while driving, the dashcam can also serve as a parking monitor. After installation, the video footage must not be edited. If edited, it cannot provide assistance in the event of a liability accident. It also helps prevent unavoidable fraudulent claims, which are common in today's society.

What is the reason for the bulge in the rear seat of Volkswagen cars?

Volkswagen cars have a bulge in the rear seat for the sake of chassis flatness. Since the chassis underneath the car is equipped with an exhaust pipe or drive shaft, rear-wheel-drive vehicles typically require a drive shaft to transmit the engine's power to the rear wheels. Therefore, structurally, such a bulge is necessary. Below are detailed explanations of the related content: 1. The vehicle adopts a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, requiring space in the middle to accommodate the drive shaft. The front-mounted engine transmits power to the rear wheels via the drive shaft. If the drive shaft is too low, it may easily scrape the ground, affecting the vehicle's ground clearance. Increasing the vehicle height would raise the center of gravity, so a localized bulge in the floor is designed to protect the drive shaft and enhance the vehicle's stability, ground clearance, and handling. 2. The car has a low chassis design and may be a front-wheel-drive vehicle, but it still needs space for the exhaust pipe, hence the bulge in the middle is designed to accommodate the exhaust system. 3. The car is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, but its chassis is based on a rear-wheel-drive platform or shares a platform with higher-end models (rear-wheel-drive platform), resulting in the bulge in the middle of the rear seat.

Why Is There a Strange Noise in the Engine Compartment When Braking?

Here are three possible reasons for strange noises when braking: Issues with the vehicle's brake fluid: The brake fluid may be insufficient or overdue for replacement. Loose brake fluid lines can cause leakage, leading to strange noises in the engine compartment when braking. This situation requires professional repair at a specialized shop. Sand in the brake discs: Generally, a brand-new car should not produce strange noises when braking. If the car hasn't been driven many kilometers and the brakes start making noise, it is likely due to sand or metal particles getting into the brakes. In this case, stepping on the brakes will produce a sharp sound. This can often be resolved by using a high-pressure water jet during car washing. If that doesn't work, the brakes may need to be disassembled for cleaning. Hard brake pads: Some brand-new cars may produce strange noises when braking, especially when braking lightly. This is usually due to the brake pads being made of harder material. The noise often disappears when braking harder. Generally, this situation can be ignored until the brake pads have worn in after some use.

Which reference point is most accurate for a 90-degree turn?

A 90-degree turn is most accurately executed by aligning the right side of the vehicle 30 centimeters from the edge line. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination and refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, 90-degree turns, and curve driving. Techniques for a 90-degree turn: Activate the turn signal and enter the 90-degree turn area, maintaining a 30 cm distance between the vehicle body and the road edge line. When the inner door handle is parallel to the inner corner of the turn, turn the steering wheel fully to the left or right. Straighten the steering wheel once the vehicle is aligned and smoothly exit the test area.
