Your Car's Paint Can Be Damaged by the Sun! Here are 4 Ways to Prevent It..

Ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun not only can damage human skin, but these UV rays can also oxidize and fade your car's paint and make it look old and worn out. Here are some key tips to keep your car looking its best:

1. Keep your car in a garage, under covered parking, or in a shaded area when not on the road.

2. Wash the car frequently being sure to do so in a shaded area. First, rinse off any grit and loose dirt, wash the car using a soft cotton mitt and a gentle automobile cleaner, use an auto detailing clay bar to remove stubborn spots so you don't scratch the finish, and once clean, rinse it thoroughly to remove any cleaning product residue.

3. Hand dry the exterior with a chamois or cotton rag. This is essential if you want to keep the exterior looking great. Allowing the car to air dry leaves it vulnerable to spot damage caused by the minerals in the water you used for washing.

4. Use and apply a high-quality wax. Waxing is the critical and final step to prevent sun damage to your car's paint from the uv rays and helps stop pollution, dirt and grit from adhering to the finish and causing pitting.
