Why Can Water Wash Away License Plates?

Water can wash away license plates for the following reasons: 1. Incorrect installation method: Many people like to add frames to their license plates, making it impossible to properly install the two screws at the bottom. Generally, only two screws are used to install a license plate, which is mostly due to the narrow and protruding design of the car bumper. Many car models have bumpers that are not wide enough, with only two fixing holes for the license plate, resulting in the license plate being installed in a suspended state. 2. Material issue: The license plate is usually located on the bumper, which is mostly made of modified polypropylene material. Although this type of bumper can provide a cushioning effect during collisions, is lightweight, and helps reduce fuel consumption, once a collision occurs, the material can deform under external force. When driving, fast-flowing water can pull the screws out of the deformed bumper, causing the license plate to fall off.

Does Waterless Car Washing Damage the Paint?

Waterless car washing can damage the paint because there is direct friction between the paint surface and the sponge without any lubrication (ordinary cleaners do not contain lubricants). Surface particles combined with the usual wiping technique can easily cause scratches on the paint. Definition of Car Paint: Car paint refers to the paint applied to a car, which is a type of coating. Function of Car Paint: Applying paint to a car not only forms a protective film on the surface, making the body less prone to corrosion and extending the car's lifespan, but it also provides an aesthetic appeal. Different types of car paint produce different effects, and choosing different paint types and colors can showcase the car's unique personality. Therefore, car paint is crucial to the vehicle itself.

Is There Still Warranty After a New Car Transfer?

There is still warranty after a new car transfer. The factory warranty period of the car will not change due to the transfer. As long as the documents are complete, the warranty can be enjoyed within the warranty period. Car Warranty Period: Refers to the time period during which the car manufacturer promises to provide free repairs and maintenance for faults caused by quality issues when selling the product to consumers. Geely Automobile offers "four years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first." This means there are two conditions for the warranty period: one is a time limit of 4 years, and the other is a mileage limit of 100,000 kilometers. As long as either of these two conditions is met, the vehicle's warranty period is considered expired, and normal maintenance and repairs will no longer be free. Function of Car Warranty: To keep the vehicle in good technical condition, improve the vehicle's operational readiness, reduce on-road failures caused by mechanical damage under proper usage, enhance transportation efficiency, prevent mechanical accidents, eliminate driving safety hazards, reduce fuel and lubricant consumption and tire wear, and effectively control vehicle noise and environmental pollution.

Does an Old Car That Hasn't Been Scrapped Affect Driver's License Renewal?

If you have a car that should be scrapped but hasn't been scrapped under your name, you cannot register a new car or handle driver's license-related procedures. Introduction to Vehicle Scrapping Age Limit: The vehicle scrapping age limit refers to a safety inspection system based on the number of seats and usage period during a car's service life. It states that small and mini non-operational passenger cars, large non-operational sedans, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles have no usage age limit. Latest Regulations on Vehicle Scrapping Age Limit: The regulations have abolished the mileage limit for non-operational sedans and set the scrapping mileage limit for private cars at 600,000 kilometers. Vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, require annual inspection from 6 to 15 years, and need biannual inspections after 15 years. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, it can continue to be driven on the road.
