We love living in the Bay Area. The sun, the warm weather – what isn’t there to love? Unfortunately, our favorite things about living here can be what causes the most damage to our vehicles. Sun and heat are incredibly hard on both the interior and exterior of vehicles. Even the engine can take an extra beating from the heat. So, what can you do to protect your new vehicle from sun damage? Follow these simple tips to protect your car from Carnamic.

Tips to Protect Your New Vehicle from the Sun
Since we’re exposed to the sun’s rays year-round, it’s especially important to take extra steps to stop the threat of damage. Although all Carnamic vehicles come with Paint and Fabric Protection, is that really enough? While the Zurich Shield might help save you from spills or tree sap, you might want another layer of protection from the sun and heat.
Park in the Shade
It makes sense that avoiding the sun altogether will provide the most protection from the sun’s rays. Even though it’s not always easy finding an open parking spot in the shade, always take one when you can – even if it’s a bit of a walk from your destination.
Cover Your Seats and Windows
The last thing you want is for your luxurious leather seats to get dry and cracked. That’s where seat covers can help. They can protect your skin from hot seats as well as keep your leather or fabric seating from deteriorating and becoming damaged. While you’re add it, consider a folding window cover to keep the sun out when you can’t find shade.
Wash and Dry
Keeping your vehicle’s exterior clean can feel like a pointless task, but it’s one that does more than keep your vehicle looking great. Washing and drying often will remove the dust and debris from your vehicle. Finish with a fresh wax to protect the paint from harmful UV rays.
Routine Maintenance
Every driver dreads a breakdown, and your car can overheat more easily without proper maintenance. Be sure to regularly change your oil and flush fluids. A maintenance plan or extended warranty can make your job easier!
