Methods to remove paint from a car: 1. Banana oil cleaning: Banana oil, also known as thinner, can be used to dilute paint and is effective in cleaning paint spots. However, be aware of its flammable, explosive, toxic, and volatile properties, as well as its corrosive effect on the paint surface. It can be used on car glass. 2. Gasoline cleaning: Gasoline has similar properties to banana oil and provides good cleaning results without the strong corrosive effects of banana oil. A wet towel can be used for wiping. 3. Use of tar remover or adhesive remover. 4. Carburetor cleaner: This is much more irritating than tar remover but also has some cleaning effect. 5. Car wash clay cleaning: After soaking in water for a while, it becomes soft and has strong cleaning power without being corrosive. 6. Fine sandpaper or blade removal: Fine sandpaper or blades can also remove paint spots with careful operation, but there is a risk of scratching the paint surface.

What is the range of the NIO ES6?

According to official data, the highest configuration version of the NIO ES6 has a range of 610km. The NIO ES6 is a high-performance, long-range intelligent electric SUV launched by NIO at the 2018 NIO Day event held at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center. The NIO ES6 is positioned as a mid-size pure-electric SUV with a five-seat layout. It comes standard with a 70KWH ternary lithium battery pack, with an optional 84KWH nickel-cobalt-manganese NCM811 battery cell. There are three versions available: the Base Edition, Performance Edition, and Limited Launch Edition, comprising a total of six models. The fastest acceleration from 0 to 100km/h is 4.7 seconds. Methods to improve vehicle range: New energy vehicles do not have an internal combustion engine, so they do not require warming up the engine. However, they do need to warm up the battery. Before driving, turn on the heater for about 10 minutes to allow the battery temperature to rise before setting off. This can improve the range, significantly increase charging speed, and enhance charging performance. It is recommended to set the heater to levels 1 or 2. Excessive airflow can accelerate battery discharge and negatively impact the vehicle's range.

What is the maximum speed limit for urban road driving?

For roads without a central dividing line, the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour in urban areas and 40 kilometers per hour on highways. For roads with only one lane in each direction, the speed limit is 50 kilometers per hour in urban areas and 70 kilometers per hour on highways. Below is relevant information about urban road speed limits: 1. Introduction One: The speed limit for urban roads is generally between 40 to 60 kilometers per hour, though this may vary in some cities. Drivers entering an unfamiliar city must drive slowly and pay attention to speed limit signs to avoid being caught speeding by traffic cameras. 2. Introduction Two: Urban roads include both regular city roads and expressways. Regular urban roads typically have speed limits ranging from 40 to 60 kilometers per hour, while expressways may have a maximum speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour. Drivers should always refer to the posted speed limit signs for accurate information.

Is driving 100 kilometers in M1 gear harmful to the car?

Driving 100 kilometers in M1 gear can be harmful to the car. Here is relevant information: 1. M1 gear: The M1 gear in a car refers to the low-speed gear, which is mostly used when going up or down slopes, entering underground parking lots, in traffic jams, or when following other vehicles. Prolonged use of M1 gear at high speeds can cause the transmission oil temperature to rise, potentially leading to heat damage to the transmission. 2. Precautions: M1 gear is typically used in situations like exiting an underground parking lot, aiming to control speed through engine traction. This allows for not having to press the brake, ensuring safe driving down steep slopes.

Does exposed primer on a car need immediate treatment?

In direct vehicle scratches, the primer and body are usually damaged. However, for minor scratches caused by small branches that only affect the outer paint layer, immediate treatment is generally not necessary. This is because there is still a layer of primer protecting the car body, and such scratches are often barely noticeable, not affecting the vehicle's appearance. Additional information: Car doors are mostly made of steel plates, aluminum, magnesium, titanium and other light/heavy metals and their alloys. When the primer is exposed, the door material loses its protective layer, making it vulnerable to environmental factors like rain and windblown sand, which can affect its service life.

Does black transmission fluid definitely indicate a problem?

Black transmission fluid definitely indicates a problem. Here are relevant introductions about transmission fluid: 1. Normal transmission fluid: Should be odorless, semi-transparent, red or yellow in color. If the vehicle's operating conditions are good with clean ATF fluid and minimal impurities (visible to naked eye), the maintenance cycle can be appropriately extended. 2. Abnormal transmission fluid: If operating under special conditions such as frequent sandstorms, road congestion, poor air quality, or harsh usage environments where the ATF becomes viscous, turns black, or develops odors (like a burnt smell), it's recommended to change the fluid and perform maintenance. If the transmission fluid appears black or has a burnt smell, it must be replaced immediately.
