The reasons why some cars don't get dented by hail are as follows: 1. Quality issues: Ordinary hail can also damage cars because hail has a certain weight, but cars have a certain resistance to impact, and in most cases, nothing will happen unless the car body or glass is of poor quality. 2. Size of hail: Smaller hailstones, such as the size of soybeans, have little impact and will not cause damage to the car. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Larger hailstones: Such as the size of a one-yuan coin, some the size of an egg, or even the size of a tennis ball, these hailstones are heavy and can damage cars, causing glass breakage, body dents, and other injuries; 2. Hail weather: Try to drive the car to a sheltered place, preferably parking in an underground parking lot. If the car is parked outdoors, you can cover it with a quilt to reduce damage to the car. When there is no place to hide from hail, quickly move to the back seat of the car to avoid injury from shattered windshield glass.

How to Test if a Parking Sensor is Working Properly?

You can roughly determine which sensor is malfunctioning by comparing the presence and volume of beeps between several sensors. Parking sensors have blind spots, and in actual maintenance, you can use these blind spots to approach a specific sensor to check for faults. When a parking sensor fails, it will emit a long intermittent "beep" sound to indicate a malfunction in the left sensor.

When to Use Blending Clear Coat?

Apply the blending clear coat within 3 minutes after spraying the glossy clear coat. The blending clear coat only needs to be sprayed in 2 to 3 layers at the interface between the new and old paint, at a distance of about 15cm. After car paint repair, there will inevitably be some color difference between the repaired paint and the original car paint. At this time, the blending clear coat is needed around the repaired area to create a transition and eliminate the visual color difference. The glossy clear coat is used to beautify and add gloss to the paint surface after repair. Precautions for storage and use of blending clear coat: 1. Mixing ratio: Ready to use without mixing; 2. Spray gun pressure and tools: Gravity feed spray gun with 2bar pressure and 1.2 to 1.5mm nozzle, suction feed spray gun with 1.4 to 1.7mm nozzle; 3. Application method: After completing the paint repair, lightly spray a layer of blending clear coat at the interface immediately, then lightly spray another layer after 15 seconds; 4. Suitable for: 2K topcoat, two-component clear coat; 5. Not suitable for: 1K base coat; 6. Shelf life: Can be stored for more than 2 years when tightly sealed, storage temperature is 20 degrees Celsius.
