New cars are more suitable for crystal coating. Here is the relevant content introduction: 1. Crystal coating provides reliable paint surface sealing technology for car paint, offering efficient and long-lasting protection to prevent environmental impacts on the paint color. 2. The method of crystal coating is as follows: (1) Conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the vehicle for any scratches or paint peeling. Wash the car with neutral car shampoo in the order from front to back and top to bottom, and carefully wipe the body with a soft towel. (2) After repeatedly kneading the clay, place it in the palm of your hand and move it horizontally back and forth on the paint surface with water, using adhesive tape to protect different parts of the car body. (3) Depending on the actual condition of the paint surface, select an appropriate polishing compound for polishing, rinse the entire car carefully with water, and dry the paint surface with an absorbent towel and an efficient dry cleaning gun. (4) Use a special degreasing solution to degrease the paint surface, while cleaning and caring for the paint surface condition, edges, door edges, engine compartment, car glass, and tires. (5) Confirm that the entire vehicle's construction is completed without errors.

When I first bought my new car, I was also thinking about this. I've tried both coating and crystal coating. The coating is cheaper, costing around two to three thousand, but it needs to be redone every six months. The paint on the new car gets scratched over time, and water stains stick when washing. Crystal coating is more expensive, starting at four to five thousand, but it lasts for over two years with super strong protection. It can resist stone chips and sun exposure. With the new car's paint intact, directly applying crystal coating saves hassle. Maintenance is as simple as rinsing with water, reducing trips to the beauty shop. In the long run, it's actually more cost-effective. For daily commuting regardless of rain or shine, choosing crystal coating is definitely the right choice—don't hesitate to spend money for peace of mind.

How Many Times Can You Take the Driving Test Subject One?

In principle, as long as the driving test registration is valid (3 years), there is no limit to the number of retakes. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject One test can be taken twice. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free the second time. If you still fail the second time, the Subject One test is terminated, and you can only schedule another test after ten days. Subject One, also known as the Subject One theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test format is computer-based, with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject One is 90 points. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject One test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject One test precautions: During the test, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the examination room. In the examination room, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, there is a same-day retake. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign renders the test invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject One test. Each subject test can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject Two and Subject Three, there are only five test attempts. Subject Two and Subject Three tests can be scheduled ten days later. If you fail the Subject Three safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test. Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge tests. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such term as Subject Four.
