Does exposing a car to intense sunlight affect the car paint?

[McEvan]

Exposing a car to intense sunlight does affect the car paint. Prolonged exposure to summer sunlight can cause the car paint to lose its original luster, making the paint surface appear dull and leading to issues such as fading and aging, significantly impacting the car's appearance and value. Here is some information on summer car maintenance: Sunshade: To prevent your beloved car from being damaged by high temperatures, a sunshade is an essential "tool" for heat protection. Sunshades are usually made of foil, which can reflect the majority of sunlight, making them particularly effective for short-term parking. They also prevent direct sunlight from hitting the dashboard. Car cover: Besides preventing car paint aging, a car cover can also provide shade and protect against intense sunlight. There are many brands and types of car covers with significant price differences. If the workmanship and materials are poor, they can easily scratch the car paint. It's also unnecessary to purchase expensive ones, as the production cost of car covers is generally not very high.
