Will the sun damage the paint on my car?



As we know, the sun can be harmful to human skin, so we use sunscreen or wear a hat to protect ourselves. The sun’s rays can also be harmful to your vehicle’s paint. Over time, the paint will fade or oxidize from the sun beating on it. Since we protect our skin, we should also protect our vehicle’s paint. 

If it is possible, an easy and simple way to protect your vehicle from sun damage is to park it in the garage. If you do not have a garage, you can try to park your vehicle in an area that is mostly shade on your driveway. Other ways you can protect your vehicle’s paint is by washing it regularly and using wax. By washing your vehicle often you are cleaning off any harmful contaminants like bird poop, salt, and grime. Having a dirty vehicle accelerates sun damage. Applying wax on your vehicle helps stop pollutants from adhering to your paint, thus aiding in sun protection. 

We here at Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center hope this information helps as you protect your vehicle this Summer!
