Recently, the conditions in Indonesian cities, especially in major cities, have been very hot. Even the air temperature can reach over 30 degrees. High temperatures, hot air, and exposure to scorching sunlight can also have adverse effects on cars if parked frequently in open fields for hours.

Effects of Frequently Parking Cars Under Scorching Sunlight

What are the negative effects if you often park your car under the scorching sun? Check out the discussion below.

1. Exterior Damage

Certainly, the most affected part is the exterior where the car paint will fade and become dull if exposed to sunlight for a long time. High temperatures can also potentially bake the paint and rubber parts. Therefore, it is better to park in a basement or use a canopy to protect the paint from the sun.

2. Wiper Blades Will Get Damaged

Another impact is that the rubber on the wipers can harden and get damaged, which can cause scratches on the glass when used due to the wiper rubber no longer being elastic. First, before leaving the car, always make it a habit to lift the wiper arms so they do not come into direct contact with the glass. This is useful to avoid the wiper rubber hardening or becoming uneven because it sticks to the hot glass.

3. Interior

For the interior, the temperature inside the cabin can become very high, up to 70 degrees Celsius. Besides being uncomfortable, high temperatures can affect the dashboard paint. To address this issue, you can cover the car windows with window film that can reduce the effects of ultraviolet rays into the cabin. Choose window film that is known for its quality.

4. AC Quickly Gets Damaged

Generally, drivers will turn on the AC at a high temperature to quickly lower the car's temperature. This actually wastes fuel and makes the AC performance suboptimal. The step you should take is to open the windows first before turning on the AC to let the hot steam out, making the car cooler. After that, you can turn on the car AC.
