If it is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) bumper, it is painted when it leaves the factory. The advantage of OEM bumpers lies in their toughness; even under high pressure, they are unlikely to deform. Additionally, since they are supplied directly by the manufacturer, the quality is naturally better guaranteed. Although they are more expensive, bumpers are, after all, a safety component. Additional information: Over time, car paint gradually ages and discolors. After purchasing a car, the environments to which the vehicle is exposed vary, leading to different rates of paint discoloration. Over time, even cars with the same paint color at the time of manufacture will develop color differences due to varying exposure conditions.

What glue is used for repairing the sidewall of a tire?

Tire sidewall repairs cannot be done with glue; the tire must be replaced. Here are the reasons why it cannot be repaired: Tire sidewall deformation: Since the tire sidewall is the weakest part of the tire and undergoes deformation during normal driving to absorb minor bumps from the road, it cannot be patched due to this deformation. Risk of tire blowout: Continuing to drive with a damaged sidewall without replacing the tire poses a risk of a blowout, compromising driving safety. As the tire rubs against the road while driving, friction generates heat, causing the gas inside the tire to expand due to thermal expansion. The damaged area of the sidewall becomes thinner and cannot withstand the internal pressure, leading to a blowout.

How to Tell if the Car is in the Middle of the Road?

Observe the left and right lane lines through the rearview mirror. When the lower part of the left lane line is in the middle of the rearview mirror and the lower part of the right lane line is at the bottom right corner of the rearview mirror, the car is positioned in the exact center of the road. Here are some related solutions for determining whether the car is in the middle of the road: Check the rearview mirror: The right car rearview mirror is the farthest from the driver's position, so reduce the space occupied by the sky and reserve as much mirror space as possible for the side of the car. Therefore, the sky should occupy only 1/4 of the right rearview mirror, and the car body should also occupy 1/4. After adjusting the rearview mirror in this way, observe the left and right lane lines through the mirror. When the lower part of the left lane line is in the middle of the rearview mirror and the lower part of the right lane line is at the bottom right corner, the car is positioned in the exact center of the road. Look at the position between the A-pillar and the dashboard: When the angle between the A-pillar and the dashboard aligns with the left lane line, the car is in the center of the road.

Can Vehicles Be Inspected in a Different Location?

Except for large passenger buses and school buses, all other vehicles can undergo annual inspections in a different location. Currently, traffic authorities have fully implemented cross-province inspections for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses. Applicants can directly have their vehicles inspected in provinces other than the vehicle's registration location and obtain the inspection compliance mark without needing to go through the entrustment inspection process. Large passenger buses and school buses cannot be inspected in a different location and must return to the vehicle's registered location for inspection. Inspection time requirements: Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. After 6 years but less than 10 years, they must be inspected every two years; after 10 years but less than 15 years, they must be inspected annually; after 15 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 5 years; after 5 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Trucks and large and medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 10 years; after 10 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Imported vehicles, like other vehicle types, can undergo regular inspections at any inspection site. Inspection precautions: Vehicles that fail the inspection must be repaired within a specified time limit. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further driving. Vehicles that do not undergo inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to drive on the road or transfer registration. Vehicles that meet the scrapping conditions or exceed the specified usage period will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, their records deleted, and they will be scrapped.

How to Check If Your Car Is a Used Vehicle?

Here are some methods to check if your car is a used vehicle: Check the manufacturing date: If you encounter a vehicle with a long service life but exceptionally low mileage, there may be issues with this car. Check tire wear: New tires have wire-like marks on the tread surface and hair-like protrusions on the sidewalls, which usually wear off after 50-100 kilometers of driving. Inspect the engine compartment: For vehicles that have been driven for some time, these areas tend to accumulate dirt and are difficult to clean. It's best to regularly inspect and clean them to avoid long-term dirt buildup that may become impossible to remove later.
