Sun-protect your car's interior

Based on the information from the State Farm Vehicle Research Facility, the temperature inside your vehicle in the summer can be as high as 195°F. This is not only hazardous for the safety and health of the people who are trapped inside, but it could also cause irreparable damage to the PVC that is on your dashboard as well as to 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 method to prevent UVA and UVB rays from hitting your car's front windshield. Sunscreens are made from nylon and mylar and keep the sun's rays from directly hitting the interior of your car. They'll do nothing to improve the temperature inside, but at least your dashboard won't cause burns to your fingers whenever you touch it the first time following an extensive shopping trip.

2. Window Shades

The shades are drawn over your windows from inside. Their advantages are that they're lightweight, inexpensive, and cost-effective and also be used to cover all windows and not only the front one. Their disadvantages are that they're extremely fragile and are prone to break in rough driving. Be aware of their advantages and disadvantages prior to putting them into your vehicle.

3. Window Tinting

If you're looking to secure your home's interior take into consideration getting your windows tinted professionally. Tints offer greater lasting protection than standard curtains, and they're permanent, meaning you don't need to worry about screens shifting or shades losing their effectiveness in time. The best window tints can 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 each one with a spray for protection of leather. The liquids will penetrate the fabric and then dry it to make it stronger than before and will protect it from the sun as well as the wind to ensure the leather will last for many years in the future.

5. The Best Cleaning Supplies

Have you ever considered that specific cleaners can increase the risk of your car being exposed to sun-induced damage? It's tempting to think that you're giving your car an air of class by using a high-shine cleaner; however, you're bringing sunlight glare onto your interior and dashboard. Choose a cleanser that has matte finishes instead.
