When it comes to the blazing New Mexico sunshine, summer can be quite tough on cars and trucks. Fortunately, there are lots of easy ways to safeguard your vehicle and keep it cool and comfy during the sweltering months.
Park Indoors (or Under Some Shade)
A garage is the best place for your vehicle in the summer. If you don’t have access to one, look for shaded areas to keep your car or truck. You can also invest in a portable car port if other options aren’t available.
Protect the Interior
Steady sun exposure can fade or degrade the interior of your car. Windshield covers are ideal, in this case, as they’re affordable and effective. They stop the interior of your car from getting too hot, which can be uncomfortable when getting into your vehicle after a long time in the sun.
Wash and Wax Your Vehicle Regularly
Washing and waxing does more than clear away dirt. It also protects the paint from scratches and fading by keeping the top coat in good condition. It’s best to wash your car every two weeks, or every seven to ten days if it’s kept outside.
