Smart Driving and Parking Habits
Thinking about where and how you store your vehicle throughout the day is your first line of defense against heat degradation. When possible, seek out parking spots beneath structures like parking garages, carports, or mature trees to reduce direct exposure to the intense sun rays. If there aren’t any shaded options available, parking so the vehicle’s tail end faces the sun is helpful, since it prevents the sun from landing directly on front dashboard components. We also recommend frequently washing your car’s exterior to remove corrosive pollen and bird droppings, as doing so prevents these contaminants from bonding with the exterior of your car or otherwise damaging the finish.
