Does prolonged exposure to sunlight significantly affect car paint?

[StAnderson]

Prolonged exposure to sunlight has minimal impact on car paint, but it can affect other components. Here are the issues that may arise from prolonged sun exposure: 1. Formaldehyde: Sun exposure exacerbates formaldehyde pollution inside the car. New cars already have issues with excessive formaldehyde and odors, and high temperatures from sun exposure accelerate formaldehyde volatilization. The confined space of the car makes it easier for formaldehyde pollution to accumulate. 2. Tires: Prolonged sun exposure can cause tires to age. If tires have been exposed to the sun, park the car in a shaded area to allow them to cool naturally, as cold water can accelerate aging. 3. Paint: Prolonged sun exposure can cause car paint to fade or lose its gloss, making the paint surface more prone to aging. 4. Glass: Glass can soften at high temperatures, making it more susceptible to damage if there is any pre-existing human-induced damage.
