Can a car be exposed to the sun for a long time?

A car should not be exposed to the sun for a long time. Here are some introductions about car exposure to the sun: 1. Hazards: The most common hazard is accelerating vehicle aging. What you can see is only the surface of the vehicle, while some small plastic parts and circuits inside that are not visible will age faster under continuous high temperatures. A car is not that fragile; after all, it has a metal body that can protect the internal components, making them less likely to break easily. 2. Lifespan: When purchasing a vehicle, the salesperson will inform the consumer about the vehicle's lifespan and product quality guarantee, among other related information. At least, it is not meant to be under prolonged exposure to sunlight, so many car owners who cherish their vehicles will take their cars to an auto beauty shop periodically for paint maintenance.
I really don't think it's good to leave the car exposed to the sun for too long, especially in summer. Not long after I bought my car, the paint started to fade after several exposures to the sun, turning the original glossy black color into a dull gray, making it look old. The interior is even worse—leather seats and dashboard plastics can quickly age and crack. Once, I forgot to use a sunshade, and the steering wheel was so hot I couldn't even hold it when I got in. The air conditioning took forever to cool down. High temperatures can also accelerate tire wear and even affect engine components. For someone like me who drives around the city all year, I now try to park in the shade whenever possible or use a sunshade cover. Regular washing and waxing can also help protect the paint. Sun exposure not only damages the appearance but also increases maintenance costs—it's just not worth it.
