Protecting Your Vehicle's Paint From Summer Heat
May 26 2023,
Summer: the season of sun-soaked beaches, barbecues, and road trips. But while the warm weather can be fantastic for fun activities, it can wreak havoc on your vehicle's paint. Fear not, though. Morrey Autobody and Glass has compiled a list of tips and tricks to help protect your car from the summer heat. Let's also explore some specialized products we offer to give your car that extra layer of protection.
Traditional Tips and Tricks
- Regular Washing
Washing your vehicle regularly is a simple and effective way to protect the paint from the heat. Dust, dirt, and other pollutants that accumulate on the surface can act as a magnifying glass, intensifying the sun's rays and causing damage to the paint. Washing your vehicle once a week can help to avoid this.
- Dry Your Vehicle Thoroughly
Water spots can form due to minerals left behind after water evaporates, which can etch your vehicle's paint. Ensure you dry your car thoroughly after washing it, preferably using a microfiber towel that won't scratch the paint.
- Use a Car Cover
Using a high-quality car cover when parked outside is an excellent way to protect your vehicle's paint from the summer heat. A cover can shield the paint from harmful UV rays, bird droppings, and tree sap.
- Park in the Shade
Whenever possible, park your vehicle in the shade. Doing so will not only keep your vehicle cooler but also protect it from direct sunlight that can fade and damage the paint over time.
- Regular Waxing
Waxing your car regularly can provide an extra layer of protection against the heat. A good quality car wax acts as a barrier against UV rays, heat, bird droppings, and tree sap. It's recommended to wax your car every 3 to 4 months.
