Daily driver TR - protecting paintwork


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Most weekdays the 3 spends around 10 hours parked in the sun.

I'm not a polisher but I do give my car the odd coat of wax to protect it. There's no possiblity of shade at work unfortunately.

Anything I can do to stop the paint fading too much?

Cheers

Eli

A nice cotton cover?

Not really my style.

Here's how I'm typically parked. I could put up an awning but it would probably get nicked and it would mean keeping a space reserved for me which I'm not keen on (first come, first served for parking).

Good Morning Eli,  apart from shade or a cover, no real solutions from me, 

Except , just keep going to work , make plenty of money and by the time you retire , you can afford to make the faded paintwork beautiful again  !!

Just like the human body, a good quality sunscreen prevents sun damage for paint, leather, plastics & rubber.

There's a special 3M product: http://carcarestores.3mindia.co.in/our-services/wash-and-wax/uv-protection

There's even a special sunblock for your tyres: http://www.sunblockfortires.com/index.html

Or, get an automatic umbrella:
