What Are the Effects of Sun Exposure on Car Paint?
1 Answers
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can accelerate the aging and fading of car paint, causing the vehicle to lose its original glossy appearance and reducing the lifespan of the paint. As summer approaches, it is advisable to apply sealant or wax to the paint, providing effective isolation and protection to maintain the car's appearance. Below are the effects of prolonged sun exposure on a car: Interior: Extended sun exposure can also significantly impact the interior. Most interior components are made of plastic, and prolonged exposure can accelerate plastic aging and deformation, shortening their lifespan. Car owners can use sunshades or heat-resistant mats to prevent direct sunlight from damaging the interior. Air Quality: The primary concern with sun exposure is the release of harmful gases. Since most interior materials are made of plastic or leather, prolonged exposure can produce harmful substances such as formaldehyde. If the car's air conditioning is turned on immediately without opening the windows, these harmful gases can be inhaled, posing health risks. In summer, if a car has been exposed to sunlight for an extended period, it is best to open the windows briefly, turn on the air conditioning in external circulation mode to expel toxic gases, and then close the windows to cool the interior.
