Most mechanics will tell you that if you change your car’s oil every 3,000 miles, it will run for a very long time. Knowing how to protect your car’s interior may not seem as important, but it can pay huge dividends down the road. Follow these tips to keep your cabin in tip-top shape.

Protecting your car from the sun’s rays and summer heat is a very important aspect to preserving your car’s aesthetic.

Tinted windows can also help.

The best way to mitigate sun damage is to avoid it entirely. Park your car in a shaded spot, such as a garage, whenever possible. To that end, window tinting or cardboard sun shades can be an effective deterrent of the sun’s rays. Even rolling those windows down just an inch on a hot summer day can help keep damaging heat from building up in your car’s interior.

Treating your dash and other surfaces with a protectant formula can also help keep your interior looking nice, while still offering protection against the UV rays of the sun. Most are very effective, and selecting the one that is right for you most of the time comes down to personal preference.
