Essential Tips for Protect Your Car From the Sun

Living in the Central Florida area, we're no stranger to heat and sunshine. After all, they don't call it the sunshine state for nothing. It's true, Orlando gets quite a lot of sun throughout the year and while it's nice to enjoy, it can be damaging for several things. At Toyota of Orlando, we highly advise you wear sunscreen and do what you can to protect your car from the sun.

While your ride may spend quite a lot of time outside in the sun, there are several things you can do to mitigate the lasting damages of the sun and better protect your car's interior and exterior. If we'e piqued your interest, follow along with us at Toyota of Orlando for more details on how to protect your car from the sun.

 How to Protect Your Car From the Sun

Use Wax

After giving your ride a thorough exterior detailing, our auto service techs recommend applying a layer of wax to the paint to preserve it in the long term. Wax seals in the wash and protects your Orlando Toyota car's paint from harmful UV rays that could cause it to fade over time. To best protect your car from the sun, we recommend applying wax once every three months. 

Park in the Shade

Everyone loves the shady spot in the parking lot for a reason. Not only does it keep you from getting into an overly hot car at the end of the day, it also protects your interior from sun damage. So, do yourself and your Orlando Toyota a favor and park in a shady spot. 

Use a Sunshade

Not only are they cute and often personalized, but they can protect your vehicle's dashboard from sun damage if used properly. Make sure to invest in a quality one that won't wilt too quickly to better protect your car. 

Tint Your Windows

Tinting your vehicle's windows is super cool and it'll keep your interior super cool as well. At Toyota of Orlando we offer affordable tinting options for your ride. We highly recommend doing this as it can protect your car and you from the sun while driving. 

Condition Leather Seats

If you have cloth seats you don't have to worry about this one. But, if your car is more on the luxury side then you'll want to condition your leather seats to prevent cracking and other forms of sun damage. Invest in a quality leather conditioner for your seats and apply it once a week.
