Hot Sun Bad For Our Paint?
 
Just wondering How hot does it have to be before our paint starts melting off our cars :laugh:

The Leather above the stereo has bubbles now in center from all this heat...
Texas Weather.. I try to park in our garage at work every day. But still driving is hell.

You should take the protective plastic off the radio face. ;)

No he shouldn't. If he doesn't care, then why take it off?

Because if you leave it on there long enough in the heat it will eventually dry out and permanently affix itself to the radio face ;)

I can tell you that if you put vinyl stripes on your car they will not last 18 months

Nothing likes that kind of heat!

:iono: Paint dries when either water or solvent evaporate leaving behind paint solids...it won't happen.

Your interior on the other hand - as you see - can be affected

Good point.

My interior the leather part is bubbling up, thinking about dealer trip soon, and as far as plastic cover goes, i just like it to be scratch free lol. No stripes on my car though, but the pain is like flaming hot when touched it today >.<

I'm sure the heat can do damage
but luckily no damage on my car just yet.
Ever since I got it its been out in the sun

Surf city makes a spray that is a none wax that protects your paint from the sun. Also if you have tinted windows 3m makes a clear coating that can be applied to the front windshield that will help block the sun and heat. My air-condition keeps my car a lot cooler since I installed this product on my front windshield.

Can you link to the windshield thing? and the spray?
