This is the case of CityMotors located in Bangsar and through which many expatriates go to buy or sell their vehicle.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Buying your first car in Malaysia</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The assurance of having your own vehicle to facilitate travel is sometimes a lifesaver for many, especially since it is quite easy to obtain a driving <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://primecarautomobile.com/">license in Malaysia</a></strong></span> and Kuala Lumpur is a city accessible to cars.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To find out about the second-hand market or to find a vehicle, you can visit the carlist.my website. You will also find many dealers or resellers on Jalan Tun Razak, to name just one. Also consider consulting the ads on the website of the Association Francophone de Malaisie or those on Lepetitjournal.com . CityMotors, which we mentioned above, specializes in vehicle buying and selling services for expatriates, and is thus an intermediary of choice for acquiring a vehicle in Malaysia. Peter Fong, the company’s manager, is a valuable help. The purchasing process generally takes less than two weeks, provided that the chosen car model is available immediately.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, regarding financial issues, insurance, car maintenance and road taxes, Peter Fong has an answer to everything and his advice allows you to avoid procedures that can seem long when you arrive in a new country. He undertakes the entire procedure for insurance and road taxes himself, expect to pay between 100 and 380RM depending on the category of vehicle. Several companies, such as Shell, have also placed their trust in City Motors. It is however entirely possible to do these procedures alone or to go through another agent.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Maintain and resell your vehicle</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">In the event of an accident, your dealer’s advice is generally sound and very useful, do not hesitate to take photos of all the necessary elements in the context of a dispute, just as bank and identity documents are always necessary when you have to contact the police. You also have a legal deadline to go to the police station attached to the area of the accident and to report it whether or not you are at fault. Here the report does not exist.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The day you leave Malaysia, expect that it will generally take a month to start the procedure to sell your vehicle, this most often involves checking papers and various formalities. For payment, bank transfers are common practice but it is also possible to use ‘cash on delivery’. Ask for a letter of guarantee to avoid any liability due to traffic violations after the transaction. If a potential buyer wants to test your vehicle, keep their ID and accompany them during their test drive.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Some practical advice</h3><p style="text-align: justify;"> Tampering with the odometer is a real problem when buying a used car, do not hesitate to ask for the maintenance booklet before purchasing.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Using your professional network is a good way to find sellers of car models that interest you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If in doubt about buying a stolen car, ask for the original invoice, the maintenance booklet and the insurance policy of the previous owner.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Following the purchase of an imported vehicle, new or already used, it is always necessary to request the import license (AP) as well as the customs duty receipt.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Request a control report from the Ministry of Transport on possible liabilities of a vehicle already in use.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> If the car registration card you are provided is not original, ask for a photocopy of the original, another copy will have the words “Salinan” or “Sambungan” in the upper left corner.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Consider buying a vehicle that is easy to resell, for less common vehicles in the city such as large engines (in this case road taxes are higher as well as fuel consumption), the resale value can drop by 20 to 30%.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Generally, loans are not possible for cars over 10 years old, and they are harder to resell afterwards.</p><p>The post <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/practice-buying-selling-a-vehicle-in-malaysia/" target="_blank">Practice - Buying/selling a vehicle in Malaysia</a> first appeared on <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/" target="_blank">https://primecarautomobile.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://primecarautomobile.com/practice-buying-selling-a-vehicle-in-malaysia/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Why rent a truck-mounted platform?</title> <link>https://primecarautomobile.com/why-rent-a-truck-mounted-platform/</link> <comments>https://primecarautomobile.com/why-rent-a-truck-mounted-platform/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 18 Jan 2025 10:16:52 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Truck]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://primecarautomobile.com/?p=130</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>31 ViewsThe truck-mounted platform is one of the most popular machines among professionals.

Used to carry out a multitude of jobs, this vehicle equipped with a lifting platform allows you to reach areas that are difficult to access or at height. You should also know that the areas of application of this machine are particularly varied. But why rent a truck-mounted platform ? And especially when should you opt for this solution? Let’s find out the answers in this article.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">What is a bucket truck?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Also called a forklift truck or crane truck , a boom truck is a vehicle equipped with a mobile lifting platform, called a boom. Located at the rear or on the roof of the truck , the latter allows work to be carried out safely at a high height: street lamps , advertising panels , trees , etc.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The machine is used to lift operators or materials. Thus, it offers safe and flexible access to hard-to-reach places. Being mobile, it also facilitates interventions on remote construction sites. This is what makes it essential in several areas such as public services , maintenance or construction .</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Why rent a truck-mounted platform?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Whether you are in the construction , industry or any other sector working in hard-to-reach places, renting a truck-mounted platform remains essential. The advantages offered by this solution are numerous.</p><h3>1. Flexibility</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Renting allows you to access the vehicle only when you need it , which is ideal for occasional use .</p><h3>2. Savings</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Unlike purchasing, which requires a significant initial investment, renting a truck-mounted platform saves you any expenses. However, you can benefit from high-performance equipment . In addition, you are freed from insurance, which can involve a significant budget.</p><h3>3. The interview</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">With rental, the costs related to regular maintenance as well as any repairs are entirely the responsibility of the agency. You are therefore exempt from these often restrictive and costly responsibilities .</p><h3>4. Diversity of models</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Our rental agency offers a variety of truck-mounted platform types. As a result, you can easily find the model suited to the work to be carried out.</p><h3>5. Access to recent technologies</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Although this detail may seem trivial, it is important to note that the agencies’ fleet of vehicles is constantly renewed. You therefore have access to modern equipment that complies with current safety standards .</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Which truck-mounted platform depending on the nature of the work?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Bucket trucks are versatile vehicles used for a variety of jobs at height. The type of machine you hire will therefore depend on the working height required and the type of work to be carried out.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">What size of truck-mounted platform should I choose?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">To help you select the ideal bucket truck, here are some examples of the machines available for rental and their common uses:</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Truck platforms from 4 to 9 meters</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">They are particularly suitable for maintenance , cleaning and repair work in confined or difficult to access areas . They are also used in the field of green space maintenance as well as painting and decorating work.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Truck platforms from 10 to 18 meters</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">They are suitable for work such as installing advertising signs , building maintenance , tree pruning , or public lighting . They are also used in the event industry for installing marquees and high-rise decorations .</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Truck platforms from 19 to 50 meters</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">These models are mainly used in the field of construction and public works (construction and renovation).

This question often comes up in forums and expat groups. Everyone wonders if it is possible to live their daily life only with public transport and e-hailing apps and thus avoid this big purchase at the beginning of the stay. But above all, we all know that<span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://primecarautomobile.com/"><strong> buying a car to resell</strong> </a></span>it a few years later is never a good investment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The concerns are often how to obtain or convert your foreign driving license, you also have to search and find the car! Then resell it in a fairly short time when you leave. I hope to be able to provide you with more concrete elements with this article to help you make a decision?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I arrived in Malaysia in August 2020, this is my second stay in the country. I had a car during the first stay because I worked in the industrial area quite far away, and at the time, public transport and e-hailing apps were not as developed or did not exist. Buying a car was a no-brainer. But today! In the middle of the pandemic, working completely from home. I was in no rush to make this major purchase. And I decided to use this time to study the economic reality of living without one.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Some information about my travels:</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">I can reach my office by public transport; the nearest train station is less than 10 minutes walk from my home.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I can walk to a decent supermarket, although I usually prefer to go to a larger supermarket about 4km away.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As soon as restrictions were lifted and things became a little safer, I was going to see friends and eating out at least twice a weekend.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I visit a mall once every two weeks. (I’m not really a shopping person) or even less. I use Shopee much more readily.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">The general idea was:</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Rent a SoCar when I need to go to the mall for half a day / or do lots of small errands during the day (50/80 RM per half day)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For long weekends, I used the long distance bus to get to my destination (Malaysian buses are very comfortable and cheap) or rented a car for the weekend (RM1,500 on average)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I’m far from super social; I usually go to 2 places max on the weekend. A lot of my friends would also pick me up/drop me off most of the time after a late meal.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">What does a year of moderate Grab usage look like?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">As you can see, my expenses in November and December have decreased. In fact, we bought a car in November. December is basically just the Grab to the airport for our annual Christmas commute (which is about RM100)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A good estimate would be around RM350 per month if you don’t go to the office every day. If you went with a Grab during peak hours, the bill would add up very quickly!</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">What about SoCar expenses in one year?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Well, in the end, I only used SoCar twice. Either because we were a group or I had many stops to make and I spent a total of RM150 for two half-days. But let’s keep in mind that interstate travel has been banned for most of 2021. So I really didn’t have many opportunities. But if you are in a group, it is definitely worth renting a SoCar.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">So when is it wise to buy a car in Malaysia?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">As I mentioned before, we ended up buying a car. This decision was based more on convenience than financial factors. The choice of car and its resale value, however, was largely influenced by this little experiment of the year.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Estimating the cost of owning a car.</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">We bought a simple and easy to resell grey 2009 Perodua MyVi automatic for RM17,000 from a local car dealership. We know its value is around RM13,000 today (the rest was the seller’s commission, first year insurance and all other services related to the purchase). And we are quite confident that we will sell it for at least RM10,000 when we leave.</p><p>The post <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/is-it-better-to-buy-rent-a-car-or-use-grab-in-malaysia/" target="_blank">Is it better to buy, rent a car or use Grab in Malaysia?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/" target="_blank">https://primecarautomobile.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://primecarautomobile.com/is-it-better-to-buy-rent-a-car-or-use-grab-in-malaysia/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>When can a child be a passenger on a motorcycle?</title> <link>https://primecarautomobile.com/when-can-a-child-be-a-passenger-on-a-motorcycle/</link> <comments>https://primecarautomobile.com/when-can-a-child-be-a-passenger-on-a-motorcycle/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 16 Dec 2024 09:52:17 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Bike]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://primecarautomobile.com/?p=121</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>30 ViewsThe highway code allows the transport of a child under 5 years old on a motorcycle, under certain conditions:the child must wear an approved helmet and gloves.

Because equipment such as helmets are designed for adult heads and are therefore not intended to absorb shocks on children’s heads.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Approved motorcycle helmet</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">It is important to choose an approved helmet to ensure that it meets the required safety standards. The helmet should also fit snugly so that it does not move while riding, but not too tight as this can cause discomfort or pain. It is recommended to measure the child’s head circumference to choose the appropriate size. Children’s helmets are often colorful and decorated to make them more attractive, but it is important not to sacrifice safety for style.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Motorcycle gloves</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Gloves protect your child’s hands in the event of a fall or slide, but they can also improve their grip on the handlebars. It is important to choose gloves that are thick enough to provide good protection, but flexible enough to allow good dexterity. Gloves should also fit snugly so they don’t move around while riding.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Motorcycle boots</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Motorcycle boots protect the child’s feet and ankles in the event of a fall or slide. The boots should be high enough to cover the ankles and protect them from injury, and they should have a non-slip sole to improve the foothold on the motorcycle pedals. It is important to choose comfortable boots so that the child can be comfortable and not focus on the discomfort of their shoes.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Protective clothing</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Motorcycle clothing, such as jackets, pants and suits, can help protect your child from scrapes and bruises in the event of a fall. They are often made from abrasion- and tear-resistant materials, such as leather, Kevlar or Cordura. It is important to choose clothing that is snug enough to not flap in the wind, but comfortable enough to allow for freedom of movement.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Back protection</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Back protectors are protective gear that can help protect a child’s spine and internal organs in the event of an impact . They are often designed to be worn under a motorcycle vest or jacket, and can be purchased separately. It is important to choose a back protector that is suitable for the child’s size and provides good protection.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Protective glasses</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Goggles can help protect your child’s eyes from debris and insects while riding . It’s important to choose goggles that are snug enough to not move around while riding, but comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time. Goggles should also be durable enough to withstand any potential impacts.</p><p>The post <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/when-can-a-child-be-a-passenger-on-a-motorcycle/" target="_blank">When can a child be a passenger on a motorcycle?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/" target="_blank">https://primecarautomobile.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://primecarautomobile.com/when-can-a-child-be-a-passenger-on-a-motorcycle/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How much does it cost to rent a dump truck?</title> <link>https://primecarautomobile.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-rent-a-dump-truck/</link> <comments>https://primecarautomobile.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-rent-a-dump-truck/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 25 Oct 2024 09:45:59 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Truck]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://primecarautomobile.com/?p=118</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>24 ViewsProfessional or private, when transporting bulky items or during major works, the use of a dump truck can quickly become essential.

Each model being specific to a type of material or use, it is important to assess your needs beforehand. This will give you the fairest dump truck rental price.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Public works</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">All dump trucks are suitable for public works. The project undertaken often defines the size of the vehicle used.

Here are our tips for driving safely during the cold season!</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Equip yourself with suitable tires</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The use of winter tires is strongly recommended when temperatures drop below 7°C. These are specially designed to ensure better road holding in cold weather, on slippery, snowy or icy roads. We advise you to opt for 3PMSF approved tires, which is a<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://primecarautomobile.com/"> verified winter tire approval</a></strong></span>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is important to remember that since November 1, 2021, the mountain law has come into force. It requires in certain French departments to have suitable equipment (winter tires or snow chains/socks) between November 1 and March 31. Winter tires must comply with 3PMSF approval. Read our article to learn more about the mountain law .</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Use winter windshield washer fluid</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">To prevent your windshield washer fluid from freezing, and to ensure its effectiveness even in very cold weather, it is important to use special winter windshield washer fluid which will be effective down to -20°C, or even -30°C.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Check the battery status</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">With winter temperatures, your vehicle’s battery is put to the test. It may be a good idea to have your battery’s health checked by a professional!</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Check the condition of your lights</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">With shorter days, you will spend more time driving at night. It is therefore important to have clean, good condition and functional lights. You should check the side lights, dipped beam headlights, front and rear fog lights and brake lights. Also remember to adjust their height according to your load, so as not to dazzle other road users.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Check the cooling system</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">In order to prevent your cooling system from freezing, it is essential to have a coolant that is resistant to low temperatures. Remember to check the coolant level at the same time.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Think about winter accessories</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Frost scraper, gloves, snow chains or socks, de-icer, pocket heater, flashlight, don’t forget all these accessories which can be very important in the event of severe weather.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Clear snow and defrost your vehicle</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If your vehicle is covered in snow: clean all windows and lights. Remove snow from the roof or hood to prevent it from being thrown onto your windshield or onto another vehicle while driving.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Lift the wipers up to detach them from the windshield.</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If the windows are covered in ice: use a de-icer spray or a scraper. To avoid this inconvenience, you can place a piece of cardboard or your summer sun visor on your windshield. Placed on the windshield, outside the vehicle, it will prevent frost from forming.Wait until your windows are completely defrosted and demisted before leaving.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Prepare your journey</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Find out about weather conditions, road conditions and the best route to take, for example by consulting the Bison Futé website .</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Driving the vehicle in winter</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Turn on the heating to prevent condensation from forming. Caution : do not overheat the passenger compartment and ventilate the vehicle regularly to avoid any risk of falling asleep.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Adopt a moderate speed to be able to maintain control of your vehicle in all circumstances.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Drive smoothly with plenty of anticipation so you don’t have to brake hard, accelerate sharply or “swipe” the steering wheel.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you and make sure you never surprise other road users. Warn them of your intentions as soon as possible.</p><p>The post <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/driving-in-winter-good-habits-for-safe-driving/" target="_blank">Driving in winter - Good habits for safe driving</a> first appeared on <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/" target="_blank">https://primecarautomobile.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://primecarautomobile.com/driving-in-winter-good-habits-for-safe-driving/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Driving in winter weather: 10 reflexes to adopt</title> <link>https://primecarautomobile.com/driving-in-winter-weather-10-reflexes-to-adopt/</link> <comments>https://primecarautomobile.com/driving-in-winter-weather-10-reflexes-to-adopt/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 13 Sep 2024 08:26:31 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Auto]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://primecarautomobile.com/?p=111</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>25 ViewsThe cold snap predicted by meteorologists is the perfect time to remember some tips and tricks to adopt when getting behind the wheel in winter conditions.

Temperatures below 0°, dead leaves still present on the roads, the risk of black ice and occasional fog patches are situations that every road user must be able to cope with. In order to get through the winter without a hitch on the roads, the Vias Institute reminds us of the 10 reflexes to adopt when driving your vehicle.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">A hundred accidents per day in winter</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Despite a lower presence of vulnerable road users and fewer trips, there are nearly 90 accidents with fatalities or injuries every day in winter. In more than 1 in 5 accidents (21%), the user is the only one involved and loses control of their vehicle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Driving in winter is no picnic and it is essential to adapt your behavior to the weather conditions. Here are 10 reflexes to adopt when driving your vehicle.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) Completely defrost your windshield</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Before leaving, it is important to completely defrost all the windows, paying particular attention to the windshield. In addition to the fine of 174 euros, removing the layer of ice on only about twenty cm2 clearly harms the driver’s visibility and reduces his field of vision.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) Wear comfortable clothes and/or shoes</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Driving with a heavy down jacket and/or snow boots can quickly make the journey uncomfortable and can even be dangerous because the driver’s movements will be limited.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">3) Check the weather conditions</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The IRM often issues weather alerts in case of difficult conditions and it is especially important to take this into account when starting your car engine.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">4) Change your driving style</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Driving style must change when winter sets in. Following the vehicle in front too closely, for example, is a habit that should be avoided in all seasons, but particularly in winter. The reason is simple: the roads are greasy and the braking distance increases. On a snowy road, it should even be multiplied by 4!</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">5) Avoid sudden maneuvers</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">In winter, gentleness and calm driving are essential and sudden manoeuvres should be avoided. When overtaking or approaching a bend, the driver must do so with caution and tact. Any jerky movement could lead to skidding.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">6) Leave the cruise control aside</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Even if the road is dry, winter often has surprises in store for us. In case of slippery roads, it is better to avoid using cruise control because it may not detect a change in grip on the road.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">7) Be extra careful in open areas</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Be especially careful on decks where the temperature is always lower than elsewhere. This is where you are most likely to encounter sneaky patches of ice.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">8) Have a cold “survival kit”</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">It is always useful to have additional accessories with you: a scraper to scrape the frosted windshield, a cloth to clean foggy windows and dirty headlights, a flashlight, gloves, a blanket and water in case of prolonged immobilization.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">9) Do not overestimate the capabilities of winter tires</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Under no circumstances should the use of winter tyres encourage the driver to take greater risks. Everyone must drive responsibly in all weathers.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">10) Have the technical condition of your vehicle checked</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The battery, ignition and fuel system are elements that are sensitive to cold. It is best to have them checked before the arrival of the cold weather. It is also essential to check the level of the antifreeze windshield washer fluid and the quality of the windshield wiper blades, which deteriorates even more under the effect of frost.</p><p>The post <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/driving-in-winter-weather-10-reflexes-to-adopt/" target="_blank">Driving in winter weather: 10 reflexes to adopt</a> first appeared on <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/" target="_blank">https://primecarautomobile.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://primecarautomobile.com/driving-in-winter-weather-10-reflexes-to-adopt/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How to Choose Innovative Car Films and Window Tints</title> <link>https://primecarautomobile.com/how-to-choose-innovative-car-films-and-window-tints/</link> <comments>https://primecarautomobile.com/how-to-choose-innovative-car-films-and-window-tints/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 21 Aug 2024 08:20:02 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Car]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://primecarautomobile.com/?p=108</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>30 ViewsIn 2021, the paint protection film market was valued at approximately USD 296.3 million.

Despite the global impact of global restrictions, the market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2022 to 2030. This is not surprising considering the benefits as PPFs stop rock chips, absorb scratches, and protect the vehicle’s paint.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, the market value of window tinting was measured at around USD 10.59 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 5.2% from 2022 to 2030. The increasing demand for UV protection and internal insulation features of cars makes it a highly profitable industry.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">What to look for when selecting PPF?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Quality speaks volumes. Therefore, when selecting a paint protection film, it is important to choose one that offers flexibility so that it can be wrapped easily around the car; more durability so that it does not come off over time; and materials that prevent organic stains like bird droppings from bonding to the film.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Aesthetic</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to protecting the paint coating, PPFs are used to give that sleek and glamorous look. Therefore, it is usually best to look for clear or color changing films that are suitable for the size and model of the car.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Installation</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Installing PPF can be a difficult job, so it is best to have it done by qualified installers. It is mainly about doing a clean job, especially with the edges of the films in each panel of the <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://primecarautomobile.com/">car to prevent the materials</a></strong></span> from wearing away.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">PVC</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Polyvinyl Chloride or vinyl wraps are the most commonly used PPFs due to their affordability. PVC films are tough, thus providing great protection to the car’s paint. Vinyl wraps come in varieties. A glossy coating gives a smooth or shiny finish and gives the car a classy look. A matte finish reflects light on the surface, thus giving a classic look to the car. Lastly, a satin wrap is a happy medium between the other two wraps, giving a sleek design and professional look to the car. However, it is a difficult film to install and the least durable option as it tends to lose its color after a year.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">TPH</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">TPH films consist of PVC as a base but offer greater flexibility and self-healing. In terms of durability and lifespan, it is slightly better than PVC. On the other hand, it can be prone to yellowing and is considered weaker than TPU.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">TPU</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Thermoplastic Polyurethane or TPU Films are eco-friendly. This material is durable and provides an excellent layer of protection to vehicles. Its elasticity makes the installation and removal process easier due to thermoplasticity. In addition, it is the most durable PPF of the three with a lifespan of at least 5 to 10 years and good resistance to yellowing and cracking. The downside is that this option is quite expensive.</p><p>The post <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/how-to-choose-innovative-car-films-and-window-tints/" target="_blank">How to Choose Innovative Car Films and Window Tints</a> first appeared on <a href="https://primecarautomobile.com/" target="_blank">https://primecarautomobile.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://primecarautomobile.com/how-to-choose-innovative-car-films-and-window-tints/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Car Seat Cover Trends: Ride in Comfort and Style</title> <link>https://primecarautomobile.com/car-seat-cover-trends-ride-in-comfort-and-style/</link> <comments>https://primecarautomobile.com/car-seat-cover-trends-ride-in-comfort-and-style/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Aug 2024 08:11:11 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Car]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://primecarautomobile.com/?p=105</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>30 ViewsA car is like a second home.

Several factors can contribute to this:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Temperature difference : The main cause is the temperature difference between the warm, humid air you exhale and the cold, <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://primecarautomobile.com/">dry air inside the helmet</a></strong></span>. This condensation forms on the visor, reducing visibility.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ambient humidity : The more humid the ambient air, the more likely fog is to form. This is especially true in rainy, foggy conditions, or when riding in a humid area.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Helmet Sealing : A poorly ventilated helmet or one that is not perfectly sealed promotes fogging. The humid air from your breathing then accumulates inside the helmet, with no way to escape.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Scarf and Mask : Wearing a scarf or mask that rides high on your face can also contribute to fogging, by redirecting your breathing into the inside of the helmet.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sweating : If you sweat a lot, the sweat can evaporate and condense on the visor, creating fog.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">How to avoid fogging?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The most effective solutions are sometimes the simplest. So, the first tip is to slightly open the visor . By letting a little air through, fog will tend not to set in. Obviously, in the middle of winter, this is not the most pleasant.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Stick a protective film</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If you prefer to stay warm, you can stick a protective film . It will effectively prevent fog from appearing inside your helmet. The only problem is that it could come off over time. Another idea is to use spray products that are relatively effective against fog.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Installing a Pinlock screen</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">For a long-term solution, opt for a Pinlock screen . Its installation is not complicated and can be done in no time. You can find some on the LaCentraleDuCasque website .</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Face mask</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Wear a face mask that allows air to pass through your nose.
