Car parking shades are an important investment for any home or business with a car. Leaving your car uncovered brings about so many problems making the car look old and faded while also bringing about other problems. It is therefore advisable to always have your car parked under a car parking shade. This article is going to explain to you why you need to use car parking shades and what makes quality car parking shades.

Why use car parking shades?

There are several reasons why you should invest in a car parking shade for your car. Here are some of the reasons why;

Protection from the weather elements – the different weather elements can really do some damage on your car’s finish. First consider the sun. Due to pollution the ozone layer has been eroded and is now known to let in harmful ultraviolet radiation to reach the earth. This radiation can cause the color of your car to fade right off. It also penetrates through the glass window causing the interior of your car to heat up like an oven. This causes further destruction to the interior of your car making it look dilapidated and battered. You do not want that to happen and you can keep the harmful UV radiation and intense sun away from your vehicle using a car parking shade.

Then there is the rain. A shower on your car here and there might be harmless. However if your car is always on the rain there is a high probability that water will seep into the little spaces, scratches and dents on your car and start causing corrosion. Remember also our country is very polluted and most of the urban places like Nairobi receive acid rain. As the name suggests this kind of rain is not your usual clean water rain from the heavens. It will make your car corrode, and quickly for that.

Protection from dents and scratches – take the scenario where there isn’t a parking shade in your office and everyone arrives early to take the spot under the tree, next to the covered parking spot of the boss of course. This may seem like a good thing to do because you are protecting your car from direct sunlight but do you know you are putting it right under other dangers. Birds will most probably hang around the tree and will therefore do their business on your car. Their droppings are acidic and they will cause your paint job to lose the shine. What’s more, tree branches, nuts, seeds and fruits will fall on your car causing dents and scratches.
