With temperatures rising and the sun shining longer throughout the day, you need to protect your car from sun damage. This means protecting your vehicle’s inside and outside, as sun damage can also extend inside the car. Use the tips below. <\/p>\n

1. Park Inside or In The Shade<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first thing you should always do is park your vehicle inside if you have a garage or carport. If you can’t park your car inside a structure, you should opt for a shady structure beneath a tree or next to a building to keep the sun directly off your car. This keeps it from damaging the paint and the interior. <\/p>\n

2. Use a Sun Shade<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Even if parking in the shade or parking directly in the sun, you must have a sunshade on your car to protect the interior. Sun shades in the windshield will deflect the UV rays and reduce the heat inside your vehicle. This can keep interiors like leather from cracking and the color of fabric interiors from fading. You want to ensure you get a shade large enough for your windshield and will not fall throughout the day. <\/p>\n

3. Keep Your Car Washed and Waxed<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the best ways to protect your car is to keep it washed and dried when it is hot. The dirt and debris on your vehicle make it easy to crack from the sun. Once it’s clean, you should wax it or wax it yourself to add a layer of protection over the paint. This keeps the paint from bubbling or chipping from the sun when you park outside directly in the sunlight. <\/p>\n
