Black car paint appears dull and not shiny because waxing was not performed after polishing, leading to this condition. Benefits of waxing: The advantage of waxing a car is that it provides waterproofing. During daily use, cars are often exposed to the air and subjected to wind, sun, and rain over time, which can damage the body. Additionally, wax offers resistance to high temperatures, effectively maintaining the smoothness of the car's paint surface and protecting against UV radiation, thereby extending the lifespan of the paint. Precautions for car waxing: Depending on the driving environment and parking locations, the interval between waxing should vary. Before waxing, it is essential to thoroughly clean any dirt and dust from the car's exterior.

Why was Continental UC6 discontinued?

Continental UC6 tires have not been discontinued. The wear conditions of the tires are as follows: Wear indicators: When the tire tread is nearly worn out, meaning the remaining tread depth is less than 1.6mm, the tire's grip becomes very poor, especially during rainy or snowy weather. Tread wear: As the tread becomes shallower, water drainage is impaired, creating a water film between the road surface and the tire. This can cause the vehicle to lose traction, leading to loss of control. Tire slippage: The amount of tire slippage increases significantly, and the braking distance grows dramatically. This not only worsens the vehicle's handling stability but can also cause traffic accidents.

Can an expired driver's license be penalized with points?

An expired driver's license cannot be penalized with points, as the points on a driver's license are reset annually. Below are explanations regarding the relevant regulations on driver's licenses: Fine Payment: (After Renewal) For example, if a driver's license expires on January 2nd of this year, up to 11 points can be deducted (for a Class C license; for licenses above Class C, education is required) before January 2nd. The fines for the deducted points must be paid on January 1st so that the points can be automatically reset to 12 on January 2nd. The key point is that the fines must be paid. Timely Renewal: An expired driver's license that has not been renewed is equivalent to having no license. However, renewal can be done within one year of expiration, but a retest is required. Points can only be deducted after the license has been renewed.

What is the difference between P gear and N gear in an automatic transmission?

The differences between P gear and N gear in an automatic transmission are: 1. Different gear functions: P gear is the parking gear; N gear is the neutral gear. 2. Different gear structures: P gear has an internal locking mechanism that locks the transmission gears, preventing the car from moving even without the handbrake engaged; N gear does not have a locking mechanism, allowing the car to move when in N gear. 3. Different usage scenarios: P gear is used when parking and turning off the engine; N gear is used for short stops without turning off the engine. It is not recommended to use P gear when waiting at a red light. If the car is rear-ended by another vehicle at this time, the transmission may be damaged.
