Protect your health and car interior with car shades

It's a beautiful sunny afternoon and it's the best time to share this lovely information. This will be on protecting your car interior from sunlight damage.

Of course, a garage is always the ideal place to park your car.
But if one isn’t available, maybe when you are out of the house, minimize interior damage from UV sunlight and heat by always trying to park your car in the shade.

If no shade is available or if you find parking under a tree results in bird droppings, use a car shade to minimize the sun’s impact. As a bonus, you’ll have a cooler car to step into on hot sunny days.

Car shades come in two basic types: those that you unfold and place on the front windshield and rear window, or pleated types that attach to the windshield posts (with adhesive), window frames (with Velcro), or the windows themselves (with suction cups).

Solid fabric and slat car blinds have given way to cheaper and more flexible, folding wire-framed "dark-stocking" synthetic blinds. These are used where the car owner has not dark-tinted the glass of the car windows enough. or during the day, wishing to have more privacy.

Dark-tinted glass also protect the interior  of your car but be sure that you have the required documents so as to prevent you from constant harassment by the police. 

If somehow you parked your car without shades and it's under direct sunlight, make sure u wind the glass down for about 40sec before sitting in the car and also if you are to on the AC, wind the glass down for 30sec when the AC is on,  so that the heat can come out. 

Sitting directly inside a heated car is very dangerous to the health as the UV rays coming through the windshield reacts with the dashboard to release benzene which is known to be a hazardous.

Also, do not drink bottled water left in the car under direct sunlight. Many disposable plastic water bottles contain a chemical known as bisphenol-A or BPA for short.

This chemical has been proven to reduce sperm count and increase the risk of breast cancer. When plastic is heated, it releases its chemical composition into the water thereby making it hazardous to your health.
