Protecting Your C6 Corvette From Sun Damage

Whether you have the car outside all day or are proudly displaying it on the factory floor, you need to make sure that you are keeping your baby safe from the elements. Ensuring that you have protected your C6 Corvette from the rain, the snow, and high winds comes naturally to any car owner, but what about keeping your Corvette safe from the sun?
 
Sun damage is a real thing and it can very easily happen to cars, and you need to make sure that you are taking good care of your vehicle so you don’t suffer the effects of sun damage. But why is sun damage such a problem for cars, and what can you do to make sure that your Corvette doesn’t suffer from it? Here’s what you need to know!

The Effects Of Sun Damage

Overexposure to the sun can burn our bodies, and it can do the same for cars too. Repeated and prolonged exposure to the harmful rays of the sun can cause paint to lose its shine, can cause the leather and the upholstery in the car to become cracked and damaged, can cause oxidation, and can cause other breakdowns. Plus, dust, debris, bird poop, and other substances can easily dry in the sun and can become corrosive and much harder to get off.
 
Plus, it can just make the Corvette look old and dated, which is pretty terrible for everyone who wants their vehicle to look just as good as it used to look whenever they picked it up and drove it off the lot. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to make sure that your car is protected.

Make Sure To Practice Good Car Habits

For one thing, you need to make sure to keep your vehicle out of the sun. Parking in the shade or under cover, using window screens to protect the car’s interior, and maintaining the car seats and interior can help that out. Along with washing and waxing your car and making sure that you maintain the paint job.
 
Making sure to keep the paint oxidized and treating it with a dual action polish whenever you notice the first signs of deterioration will help you ensure that your paint will continue to do its job and look fantastic and just like new no matter how old the car is!
 
As long as you make sure that the vehicle is protected, you will be good to go! And while you are trying to make your Corvette look good, you can also use some Corvette engine bay accessories, including the Polished - Stainless Steel, Front Nose Cap, Polished - Stainless Steel, Radiator Cover, and the Polished - Stainless Steel, Wiper Cowl Cover
