Protect Your Car During The Summer Heat
The summer season is just starting, and temperature will continue to rise during the coming months. During the peak of the summer, your car’s exterior may take a beating from excess UV radiation and extreme heat. To prevent the need for a full repainting service from your local body shop, there are a few steps that you can take to protect your car’s exterior this summer. Read on for a look at ways to keep your car looking great, throughout the summer months.
Park in the Shade
Whenever possible, you should always park your car in a location that is not exposed directly to the sun. At home, it is best to park your car in your garage or carport, if possible. When you are out and about running errands, you should be on the lookout for shady parking lot locations.
Use a Sun Shield
If you are unable to park your car in the shade, there are still some steps that you can take to protect it from the summer heat. To keep the interior of your car cool, you can put up a sun shade after you park. The sun shade will attach to your window, and will prevent UV rays from penetrating your car’s interior.
Wash and Wax Regularly
A fresh coat of wax will do a great job of protecting your car from sun damage. At least once a month, try to get in the habit of washing and waxing your car by hand. Along with protecting your vehicle from sun damage, hand washing and waxing will also protect it from dirt, dust, and other debris that you may encounter on the road.
