Are you one of the many people that are not lucky enough to have a garage?  We have been there, and we know that means your car is exposed to all of the elements.  Did you know that the sun can damage your car just like it damages skin.  Your car may not get a sunburn, but it will affect the paint job on the car. Keep reading to learn how to prevent sun damage to your car. here.

 


Wash your car often.
 Washing your car and cleansing it of pollution and grime is the first step. Get a soft cotton mitt, bucket and automotive cleaning product, and work on the car out of direct sunlight. Even if you have tough deposits like splattered bugs or road tar, never scratch your car. Instead, consider using an auto detailing clay bar. “Claying” is a safe way to remove damaging materials without leaving a trace.

Dry thoroughly. Although some owners just hop into the car immediately after washing and skip drying, this is not best for your car’s appearance. Drying your car with a cotton rag or chamois protects your car’s paint from minerals left behind by water evaporation.

Wax. Waxing your car remains one of the most effective ways to keep it looking like new. The wax protects the paint against roadside pollutants while also combating the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. Waxing will also prevent dirt and grit from sticking to your vehicle, which can protect your paint from pit damage. When you don’t wax your car, grime left on your car can damage the paint job.
