From an automotive standpoint, however, there might be one: the heat can be hell on your car. So, since we\u2019re not only in the business of selling beautiful cars, but also keeping them that way, let\u2019s look at ways that sun and heat can damage your vehicle.<\/p>\n

Four Ways that Sun and Heat Damage Your Car<\/h2>\n

The Paint<\/h3>\n

Generally speaking, the greater Miami area averages about 250 days of sunshine per year. While this is great for your tan and overall mood, the opposite is true for your car\u2019s paint. In fact, the effect of direct heat on a car\u2019s paint isn\u2019t that different than the effect of too much sun on your skin. Apart from simply parking in shade, it\u2019s also important to bathe, dry, polish and wax your car regularly; failure to do so might permanently damage your paint.<\/p>\n

\"TireThe Tires<\/h3>\n

Checking tire pressure is vitally important, particularly on low-profile tires that are so common to cars found at Prestige Imports. The recipe for disaster on a tire that isn\u2019t properly inflated is pretty simple: a hot car on hot pavement is just begging to blow out. Bring your car to our service department, and we\u2019ll make sure that you\u2019re rolling just as you should be.<\/p>\n

The Fluids<\/h3>\n

Where to even begin with this? Put simply, a hot engine needs all the lubrication and coolant it can get, since a lack of either of these vital functions will quite quickly lay waste to your supercar\u2019s performance. Get your oil changed at regular intervals, and keep your coolant filled, particularly during the hottest of late summer days.<\/p>\n

The Rubber Surfaces<\/h3>\n

While tires certainly bear the brunt of the pain as far as heat is concerned, the same is true of windshield wipers, rubberized trims, and various underhood belts and hoses. With every service appointment, it\u2019s vital to have these surfaces checked, especially if your car tends to be in the heat for long periods of time.<\/p>\n

As with anything regarding imports and exotics, we only advise because we\u2019ve truly seen it all by this point, and nothing boils our blood like a beautiful car that doesn\u2019t get the love it deserves. Contact our dealership today to schedule a service appointment, and we promise to detail and care for your vehicle like only Prestige Imports<\/a> can.
