What is the impact of exposing a car to sunlight on the paint?
1 Answers
Exposing the car paint to sunlight has minimal impact, but it can affect other parts of the vehicle. Issues caused by prolonged sun exposure include: 1. Formaldehyde: Sun exposure worsens formaldehyde pollution inside the car. Newly purchased cars often have excessive formaldehyde levels and odors, and high temperatures from sun exposure accelerate formaldehyde release, leading to pollution buildup in the confined space. 2. Tires: Prolonged sun exposure causes tires to age. After exposure, park the car in a shaded area to cool naturally, as cold water can hasten aging. 3. Paint: Sun exposure can fade the paint or reduce its gloss, making it more prone to aging. 4. Glass: Glass softens under high temperatures, making it more susceptible to damage if already weakened.
