Shedding light on car covers and auto shades. Which will work best for your specific needs?

I am sure you have experienced that moment when you realize the car seat you just sat in is going to singe your skin. The interior temperatures of our cars, trucks, or SUVs can skyrocket from the beautiful sunny skies of summer. At the same time, we are wearing less, exposing our more sensitive skin.

Of course, sun shades come in many different styles, from those folding windshield blinds that you keep in the back seat pocket to photocell-driven whole-car canopies that deploy automatically in the sun and retract in wind or rain conditions, keeping your car and interior safe and cool.

I use the word safe in the context of protecting the paint and interior fabric from premature deterioration and sun damage. A car sunlight blocker will prevent more than 80% of UVA and UVB rays, helping your car to look cool and your body to be cool. No parking garage? No shady lane to park on? No problem.

The impressive power of our Sun emits enough solar radiation in one day to power all forms of motor across the entire planet for one year, IF we could capture it properly. I think my motorbike seat could be a type of heat battery, given just a few short minutes in direct sunlight. I keep a full bike cover under my seat to quickly deploy once parked.

Your Honda CR-V, custom Ford Bronco, or Maserati MC20 is no different, although not many people will take the time to deploy an entire car cover in the mall parking lot. We need easy-to-use options like snap shades, which are 3D scanned to fit your make and model vehicle precisely. These are not held on by suction cups or a film that is glued to the glass.

New generation shades magnetically mount to retain window function, control airflow, and keep your family and friends comfortable in the intense summer. They are so secure that you can open your windows while at speed and the shades remain as a protective layer. Properly fit shades offer another protection, one that prevents prying eyes from assessing valuables, tools, or shopping sitting in your car.

If you are a classic car owner or have just purchased your first luxury sports car, you will want to protect it from aging and retain your investment value. At home, your vehicle is safe and sound in the garage or carport. All day, while you are in the office, it sits outside in direct sunlight. These snap shades provide protection on the go.

These shades meet and exceed the standards set by the Department of Transportation for visible light transmission for safety of operation while installed. No more slapping yourself in the face trying to untwist awkward sun shades. No more slipping suction cups you have to reattach. Gone are the days of partial and ineffective shades that just do not work.

Magnetic secured shades will keep you and your passengers cool, provide privacy, security, and preserve your investment so you can get the most out of it. Resale value is based a lot on mileage, rarity, and options offered, but if your seats and interior are destroyed by sun damage, even with very low miles it will not draw much of a sales price.

Keep your eyes on the road, keep your hands on the wheel, and stay cool behind the wheel by installing precisely fit, specifically engineered, magnetic window shades in your family SUV, classic restoration, or high-end car. Order now, install in moments, and enjoy cooler driving.
