The car interior is protected from the sun

Based on the information we've seen through the State Farm Vehicle Research Facility, the temperature inside your vehicle during a hot summer day could be as high as 195°F. This is not only risky for the safety and health of those who are in the car, but it could also cause irreparable damage to the PVC on your dashboard as well as the seats' leather.

How can you shield your car's interior from the heat? Here are some suggestions.

1. Sun Screens

They are the simplest and most cost-effective option to stop UVB and UVA rays from hitting your car's front windshield. Sunscreens are constructed of nylon and mylar and prevent the sun from shining directly onto the interior of your car. They'll do nothing to improve the temperature inside, but at the very least, your dashboard won't cause burns to your fingers whenever you touch it the first time following an extended shopping spree.

2. Window Shades

The shades are drawn over your windows from inside. Their advantages are that they're lightweight, inexpensive, and cost-effective and can also be used to cover all one's windows and not only the front one. The downsides are that they're flimsy and susceptible to snapping in rough driving. Think about their pros and cons prior to installing them in your vehicle.

3. Window Tinting

If you're really looking to secure your interior, think about getting your windows tinted professionally. Tints offer greater and longer-lasting protection than regular curtains, and they're permanent, meaning you don't need to worry about shades shifting or shades losing their effectiveness as time passes. High-quality window tints will last for a long time.

4. Spray for Leather Protection

In the event that your seat leather is getting fragile or discolored, then you may want to consider protecting the individual seats with sprays for the protection of leather. The spray will absorb into the leather and will make it stronger than it was previously, protecting it from the elements of the sun and winds to ensure that the leather will last for many years in the future.

5. The Right Cleaning Supplies

Have you ever considered that specific cleaners can actually make your car more susceptible to sun-induced damage? It's tempting to think that you're giving your car an elegant look with this high-shine cleanser; however, you're really bringing sunlight glare onto the interior of your car and your dashboard. Make sure you use a cleanser with matte finishes instead.

Those are just a few tips to be aware of when protecting your car's interior from the sun. Don't hesitate to contact us for more details and ideas. We're here for you!
