Our film crew in action.

Here in Arizona, we get plenty of sun, and with it, plenty of heat. During the height of July and August, major urban areas like Phoenix will regularly reach daily maximum temperatures of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit — and that’s just the outside temperature. If you leave your car parked out in the sun, its interior can heat up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit or more, while your dash, being directly beneath the windshield, can get as hot as 195 degrees Fahrenheit. Those are some pretty high numbers and ones that can cause some serious damage to your car.

The Impact of Sun and Heat Damage on Your Car

The exterior of your vehicle is the first thing that is hit by the sun’s rays and those rays can have a devastating impact on your car’s paint. The prolonged exposure to UV rays will oxidize the exterior coating which causes paint to either become brittle and change shape or for the color to fade or otherwise change.

Let your vehicle sit out in the sun long enough, and you’ll also experience damages to its interior. The UV rays and the excessive heat caused by the Arizona sun and climate can lead to the premature breakdown of interior surfaces and upholstery. Your dash and other plastic materials are apt to likewise become brittle, crack, and experience color fading. Your car’s interior upholstery will likewise follow suit, with the front row seats apt to experience the most rapid degradation due to their positioning behind the windshield.

There are several great common sense tips you’ll hear about reducing the impact of sun and heat on your car, such as always parking in a shaded spot.
