Strong sun fades paint and dries out trim. Here is how to protect your car's finish in Pahrump, from washing habits to wax.

What the sun does to paint
Strong, year-round sun is hard on a car's finish. Over time it dulls the clear coat, fades darker colors and dries out black plastic trim.
Dirt and bird droppings left on a hot panel make it worse, because the heat bakes them onto the surface.
Simple habits that help
Park in shade or a garage when you can. Wash off droppings, bugs and sap soon rather than letting them sit in the heat. Never wash a hot panel in direct sun; water spots dry onto it in seconds.
Use a sunshade on the windshield to protect the dash from cracking and fading.
Add a layer of protection
An exterior detail finishes with a layer of protection that helps the paint shed dust and water.
