The vehicles we buy are not cheap, and we expect a lot from them. Regular care will prevent some maintenance issues, prolong life span, and retain value. In the next few minutes, we will address long-lasting standards in vehicle care and the advantages of modern technology.
If you don’t have covered parking, garage, shed, or barn, your vehicle is exposed to UV light all day. Here are some ideas to help with UV protection before investing in an American barn shed.
- The exterior appearance of our cars is important. Like our epidermis, the car body should be cleaned and cared for. We wear full-length clothes and sun hats to protect our skin. Purchase an auto-cover for your vehicle.
- Clear vinyl wraps will let your chosen car colour shine like new for longer with less maintenance, provide road debris protection, and can be changed for a new style years later.
- If you have a car window tint, only you can see the interior clearly. Sitting on sun-damaged seats or staring down a cracked dash is no fun. You can find an accordion, suction cup, or upgrade to a magnetic snap shades alternative to protect your interior from UV Damage. The custom-fit magnetic shades allow full window function at driving speed.
- Additionally, we can regularly clean the exterior of dirt and grime; and then apply a UV wax protectant. I use UV lotion on my skin in a similar way, maybe without the buffing. For increased protection from road hazards and UV damage, look at the product labels for ceramic coating products.
- Your dashboard, console, and seats need a lovely UV protectant product as well. There are heaps of options to fit the materials in your car, van, or ute.
Address all door windows and windshields, chips, or scratches quickly. Any damage of depth weakens the overall window strength and reduces its capacity for protection as designed. Some auto-glass is designed to absorb an impact and remain intact, like your windscreen. Another auto-glass is meant to shatter geometrically as it decelerates an impact. Degrading the integrity of either type can result in damage, injury, or death.
What are your thoughts on parking under a tree for UV protection? Yes, your vehicle is out of the sun, but what will the trees and birds drop on your car? Have you seen the fully automatic car sunshades? They can be attached to the roof for any time deployment, or placed in the boot for installation and opening once parked to shade your vehicle anywhere.
If you choose a wax, ceramic coating, accordion shade, snap shade, car cover, or sunshade, take time to check this site for product safety concerns. Use all products as directed; you are not a scientist who developed the solution you are applying.
When the sun shines or rain flies, use layers of protection for your skin and the skin of your car.
