With the UV indexes ever higher, you already know that you should not leave the house without using sunscreen, especially in the summer. But what about your car? Do you also feel the damage caused by the sun? The answer is yes. The intense exposure to ultraviolet rays damages the paint and causes drying of the varnish and microcracks. Excessive heat also affects the plastic parts that become dry and, in extreme cases, may even crack.
Protection Case
Wearing a car cover umbrella (ที่บังแดดรถยนต์ which is the term in Thai) on the vehicle as protection is the most practical way out so that you don’t have a covered garage and need to leave your car in the open. Despite being the most practical option when protecting the car from the sun, the covers need extra attention when covering the car. If the car is wet or the cover has tears that allow the passage of rain and the serene stains may appear on the bodywork.
Crystallization
Another way to protect the car from the sun is to invest in crystallization, which applies a protective resin to the paint. This option guarantees greater durability to the painting and prevents small aggressions from reaching the original varnish of the vehicle. When done by qualified professionals, crystallization does not cause any damage or risk to the car, and it is perfectly possible to do it more often than polishing, for example.
Wrapping
This technique to protect the car from the sun consists of applying a strong plastic over the bodywork to prevent UV damage and minor scratches. The envelope covers the entire vehicle with high-strength stickers, which can be transparent (not altering the car’s appearance) or colored.
Panel Protector And Other Care
Using cardboard on the dashboard to protect the car from the sun may seem obvious and even too simple, but with a time of exposure to the sun, the dashboard can become dry and even crack. Have you thought about the expense to resolve these damages later? Bearing in mind that in addition to preventing cracking, the dashboard protector also makes the steering wheel-less hot when it comes to operating again. It is advisable to use cheap car cover umbrellas ( ร่มรถยนต์ราคาถูก which is the term in Thai) on your car.
Washing the car with neutral soap or specific shampoo and drying it manually also helps to preserve it. Chemicals such as washing powder and kerosene can stain the paint, especially if washing in the sun.
