Should New Cars Be Left in the Sun for Long Periods?
1 Answers
New cars do not need to be left in the sun for extended periods. Here are the specific reasons why new cars should avoid prolonged sun exposure: Release of Formaldehyde: Many interior components of a car are made of plastic and bonded with adhesives. These materials can undergo chemical changes when exposed to prolonged sunlight, releasing harmful substances like formaldehyde. The longer the exposure, the more these substances are released, posing health risks. Damage to Paint: Extended exposure to sunlight can damage the car's paint, leading to cracking, bubbling, or even peeling, which affects the vehicle's appearance. Applying paint sealant, ceramic coating, or installing reflective and heat-resistant window films can effectively protect the car from damage caused by high temperatures and UV rays.
