Placement can be applied to the glass or the entire body of the vehicle or body wrapping. but keep in mind is, these applications require that car owners are always doing maintenance. especially if the selected color is a bright color or doff.

Maintenance Car Stickers
Ideally, a sticker with good quality can last up to 2 years of use. Noteworthy is that after installation sticker. Try not to immediately wash the car, well let stand for 1 day, so that the adhesive glue to work optimally.

Meanwhile, if the application of cutting stickers all over the car body in white, should not be too long dried in the sun. Besides the color may fade and over time the color can be changed to yellowish.

Meanwhile, if the application is cutting sticker stains, you can clean it by washing car with water and car shampoo, but you must also understand the character and material cutting stickers. For glossy or shiny surfaces should use the wax. If the sticker doff and carbon do not use wax. Because color can be lifted and doff when wearing buffed wax color will change to white.

To doff stickers and carbon when exposed to the stain, simply flush with water and then wipe using a soft cloth. whereas if it is difficult stains can be removed using a thin kerosene and then wipe microfibres. While for the ink stain or spill paint smeared enough and wipe the surface use gasoline stains. Wipe gently and thin layer only.

Removing car sticker

Removing the sticker attached to the body, required patience and be careful. Because the typically leave scars sticker glue. Worse, if the quality isn’t good sticker, adhesive layer must leave the rest to the body and windshield. If not handled perfectly will ruin the appearance of the car. Following these simple steps in removing and cleaning the remaining sticker glue.

Removing the sticker on the car body

  • Clean the existing car body stickers using the water, so stains and dust disappear.
  • Start at the corner or end of the sticker.
  • For stickers body wrapping, use a hair dryer with a distance of 5-8 cm
  • Hot hair dryer to soften the glue on the sticker, so you can easily exfoliated.
  • For a sticker with a small size, simply pull by hand with a position angle of 90 degrees to the direction of pull up or down.
  • To scrap or used glue, the body can be cleaned with petrol and polishing (i use sanpoly). Then clean the remaining glue with a rag.
  • Don’t use sharp objects or knives, but left to the experts. The reason, it is feared could damage the body or paint.

Removing the sticker on the windshield.

  • Use of water for flushing soft glue stickers.
  • For the glass on the inside please use the tip of the nail. If using a cutter blade fear of damaging the glass film.
  • For the glass on the outside of the cutter blade may be used when it seemed difficult to remove.
  • Pull the sticker with just enough pressure
  • Pull follow the sticker
  • Last use cloth to clean the rest of the glue that sticks to the windshield.

Just stay off the layer behind the sticker, and then attached to the media that will be applied. Is this easy ..? how to put a sticker on a fairly large media and minimal connection. The successful attachment of sticker required high precision and patience for maximum results.

Here are the steps car sticker attachment.

Step 1.
Early stage before the start of attachment. All media will be taped should be clean of any dirt. In the following example, the hood should be sprayed with water and then wipe it dry.

Step 2.
After a dry hood. must be polished first. You can use other polishes. It aims to remove residual dirt on the hood. Once polished, it can immediately wipe with a cloth rag or microfibres.

Step 3.
Furthermore, loose layer of paper is behind the sticker. Spray the sticker with the water that has been mixed with shampoo. So also with the hood or the media to be affixed. This is intended to direct sticker still attached and could be removed to adjust the media to be affixed.

Step 4.
Once the sticker attached to the next step is to glue with the help of a plastic putty knife. But a plastic putty knife should be coated first with a soft cloth. The goal is that sticker sticker no blisters and prevent tearing at the center, especially when the attachment.

Step 5.
After all the ticker flush with the hood, the hardest part is at the ends of the hood and around the washer. To that end, could use a hair dryer which is heated to the sticker. Oracal sticker material will easily when exposed apnas lentuh. But remember, do not get too close. Because if too hot, it will tear the sticker itself.

Step 6.
The final stage, stickers can be re-polished with polishes drugs. Lapiskan on the entire surface until evenly distributed. Then wipe again with a soft cloth. And if there are air bubbles with a small size, can be eliminated by using a cutter pierced.

Braking is a precaution against collision, the result of conquering the momentum of motion. In the process of braking, there is also sharpening control functions. By reducing the car’s speed, the brake pedal, as well as to counter the steering wheel. Therefore, the process is not simple and should be done the right way.

A sudden brake pedal, braking will enable the system will lock (if the car is not equipped with ABS). This is very dangerous, because it will be difficult for the driver to control the direction of the car. After all uncomfortable for passengers. The way the rules of international braking is also called the normal braking technique. Here are some braking technique:

Threshold techniques
threshold technique is a condition where you step on the brake pedal as hard as possible, but not to wheel lock. If the tire lock, reduce the stamping on the brake pedal. Always keep the power of stamping on the critical point. This technique takes practice, so that the results are perfect. May be initiated from the practice normal braking technique.

Pulse techniques
Pulse techniques is to brake the brake pedal hard kick repeatedly until the car stops. The faster and stronger kick, the faster the vehicle stops. This method is effective on a slippery road.

This technique is quite difficult to implement. Continuous training is needed, so you get used to the stamping feet of continuous, stable and constant pressure. if it is used, this technique will be more effective if used cars are equipped with ABS.

Engine Brake
This is not braking techniques, but effective enough to reduce the speed momentum. Engine Brake is to reduce the speed of the engine harness.
To do this trick (on manual transmission cars), is lowered on a regular basis (one at a time) persnelling gear. For example, from the position of 5-4-3 and so on, while monitoring the engine speed so as not to ‘jump’ (over-rev).

Automatic transmission cars can also do this way. Primarily to maintain speed on the descent. Similar way, namely by moving the transmission lever from the position of ‘D’ to a position below it. 2 or 1.

What about braking technique with a car that is already using large-diameter wheel or wheels are on the upgrade? If larger tires and wide, to get ready while the wheel brake will be felt moving in circles. Usually because wide tires more often respond on the road or tram lining. Need to anticipate and you must know the true condition of the wheels, tires and cars and roads are you going through.

Due to the absence of the muffler, the car engine noise will be heard very disturbing. But in its development, function-muffler was widespread. Not only as a silencer, muffler presence also affects engine performance, efficiency levels of fuel consumption, exhaust emissions up to aspects of appearance. Stainless steel muffler has a surplus in the base ingredients so that the results obtained and the maximum resistance to corrosion and heat resistance at a given temperature.

Actually functions in addition to silencers muffle engine noise, as well as to regulate the flow of combustion gases to flow regularly. Settings can help to increase the power of the engines, therefore, form a silencer for any type of vehicle is designed in such a way as to produce the optimum power in addition to the engine sound is not too noisy.

Changes in shape and size of the silencer without an accurate calculation usually does not result in greater engine power, but on the contrary decreased engine power. Meanwhile, to increase power, replacement mufflers with some aftermarket version can be jumped to 2-3 hp, but if you want to be replaced following maximum pipe down or even headers as well. Some of the regulatory provisions apply to any such road spec muffler, the noise level (must be below 93 db), the resulting emission levels and have a design that is considered harmful (such as tube size, tube distance to the road and the lip exhaust must be parallel to the rear bumper) .

Although it is often the case, but the case pileup involving lots of cars are always just happen

Anticipate the behavior of drivers who lack any potential events that may occur, also be one cause. In addition, the condition of the vehicle which isn’t prime, have also contributed to the pileup.

Less Anticipation
Pileup occurred because of lack of anticipation of car drivers to traffic conditions. Generally the case pileup occurred because the vehicle speed is too fast, and the distance is too close to another vehicle in front.

Usually preceded pileup of vehicles slowed unexpectedly, or suddenly stop because there are events in front. In this condition, usually can not be anticipated by another vehicle behind them. And this’s also exacerbated by other vehicles in the back who also could not anticipate.

Other causes for the condition of the driver who experience fatigue. When the condition of the body isn’t prime, then the concentration while driving will also be decreased. As a result, the driver becomes more difficult to anticipate the incidence of sudden in front. Besides the road conditions are less friendly and not anticipated by the driver, is also one reason. Such as slippery roads and limited view due to heavy rain or snow.

Car that is not prime condition can also cause pileup, especially the braking system components that often escape the attention of car owners. The car that was replacing the wheels with a larger size, then the braking distance becomes further. Similarly, the condition of the tires are already bald, it becomes less tire traction. When braking, the car will have the potential to twist.

Set Safe Distance
When a speeding car on the road, set the distance from the car in front in order to have sufficient room to anticipate braking distances. In addition, the distance is too close to the car in front, then the space becomes less permissive view of the driver.

To anticipate a safe distance with the car in front, the way set the distance for 3 seconds. the trick to calculate a verbal greeting. As a benchmark calculation, when the car in front passes a point A. and make sure your car will pass the point A after 3 seconds, if still less than 3 seconds then slow down the pace of your car.

Conclusion:
Successive collisions can be avoided if we are able to anticipate the vehicle speed, distance in front of the vehicle, highway traffic, weather conditions and you really get to know the condition of your vehicle

Benefits of CB radio at the time was felt by the truck drivers because of the geographic United States allows for it, given the relative distances between distant states. The drivers take advantage of these communication means for relieving tired and sleepy, in addition to sharing information, for example: traffic, weather emergency news and others. So that during the course of the truck, the driver can determine the condition of the road ahead, early information about accidents or traffic congestion on the road. On the contrary if you as a driver you should find something to say through a cb radio so that other vehicles can take action according to the direction from you.

You can also communicate with the CB radio base station. Namely “local channels” in almost every city. Information from local residents is needed, especially if you are still the region’s new. You can easily find the locations of truck stops, bars, lodging, and others.

Cb radio users already do most of the modifications, some things are done to ensure satisfactory communication. Although there are in it have extra features, style of communication in the vehicle allows for it. However, any communication technology is also growing rapidly so as to meet the wishes of its users.

As a responsible business owner, you will absolutely want to keep your clients and employees safe by ensuring that they are aware of hazards that ice storms pose to drivers. Educating your drivers about safety measures for driving through ice storms may help to reduce claims on livery insurance and could even save a life. In the event that an ice storm hits while your drivers are on the road, there are a handful of items they should remember:
1. Reduce speed. Driving more slowly in dangerous conditions is always a good idea, particularly in the case of an ice storm where there could be reduced visibility and slippery patches on the road
2. Try to find cover if possible, especially if there are large hailstones which could damage your vehicle. It may be safer to park under cover in a safe place and wait out the storm.
3. Brake carefully. Wet and icy conditions make skidding a lot more likely.
4. Never pass a slow plow or sanding truck – you may have a nasty accident and the road in front of the truck could be treacherous.
5. if you really traveled much ice storm, note the correct route you go through and do not forget to communication devices such as mobile phones, radio communication, and so forth. to make contact if something unexpected happens.

Not only driving in the ice storm, but you have to carry a few items you may need while in the car in the middle of an ice storm to remember something that you do not want to happen. Some good items to keep in your car is a cell phone, flashlight completion, quality pair of jumper cables, maybe a bag of sand to help gain traction if necessary, an ice scraper, blanket, small shovel and appropriate warning devices such as reflectors or flares.

Hopefully your drivers won’t ever need to drive during an ice storm but if they do, your livery insurance may provide coverage for damage sustained to your business vehicles. With a bit of care and safety knowledge, your drivers can hopefully avoid an accident or injury because of wild winter weather.
