How Can I Protect My Car’s Paint Job from the Sun?

Vehicle Sun Protection Tips to Prevent Fading

When you shop with us here at Auction Direct USA, you will find a wide variety of colors available for our high-quality used vehicles. No matter which color you choose, you definitely want it to look good for a long time. However, the bright rays from the sun can cause your vehicle’s paint to fade over time. Luckily, we have some tips to help prevent sun-caused paint fade from happening!

Will Cleaning and Waxing My Car Help Prevent the Paint from Fading?

Absolutely! Regularly treating your vehicle to a spa day with a full bath and wax job will definitely help it look great – even after driving it for several years. Car wax acts in the same way as your favorite sunscreen in that it reflects the sun’s rays and prevent your vehicle’s color from fading.

What Other Ways Can I Help Prevent My Vehicle from Fading?

When you are not driving your vehicle, we recommend that you try to limit its exposure to the sun to prevent premature fading. You can do this by keeping it parked in the garage of your home. Taking advantage of public parking garages or other areas with plenty of shade will also help.

We also recommend keeping a car cover in your vehicle and use it on sunny days. In addition to keeping your car looking good, the cover will also help keep the cabin at a cooler and more comfortable temperature!
