Driving in the sunshine isn’t all about the pleasure

The sun’s rays have the ability to put a smile on the faces of even the grumpiest people, especially perhaps when spring has finally appeared after a long, cold winter. There’s something very special about driving when the weather is good, of course, which explains why we all love to don the sunglasses and head off for a spin around the local countryside. And of course, if you are the owner of an iconic, famous name sportscar, then so much the better.

It’s worth noting, however, that while motoring and sunlight can go hand in hand, it can be a double-edged sword for the car’s owner. The sunshine we all crave also contains high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and this has a dramatic effect on the vehicle’s paintwork. High-end automobile manufacturers often use the very best paints, but even these can’t remain protected without a little help along the way. That’s why you need the type of paint protection film Scotland car owners can trust.

Here’s what the sun is doing to your car every time you go out

So how exactly does UV radiation damage the paint? This is an electromagnetic form of radiation that remains invisible to the human eye, and when the sun is at its brightest it will increase the temperature of your vehicle’s paintwork. As a result, the paint itself will expand and contract, leading to a decrease in the quality of the covering. The coating, in effect, changes shape, and this can lead to both colour fading, cracks and corrosion. Over time, the appearance of your prized possession will inevitably start to fade further and further away from its former glory.

All is not lost, however. Here at Detayling, we specialise in providing your beautiful car with the protection it needs to cope with damage caused by all extremes of weather, including of course the bright sunshine. We use the finest ceramic coatings Scotland has to offer, and over the years our skills and experience have helped owners of a wide cross-section of vehicles to enjoy those glorious sunny days without feeling stressed about potential paintwork damage.

Keeping that showroom sparkle could be easier than you thought

Your car, whether it’s a Mercedes, a Maserati or a Mini, will have been manufactured with care, and covered with a rich layering of complex, high-quality paint, designed to make it stand out from the rest. If you then let the rain, sunshine, stone chippings and more to do what comes naturally, there will be an inevitable deterioration in its kerb appeal. Would you really be willing to let this happen without doing something about it?

Needless to say, Detayling can also help to protect other items, including the likes of marine craft and light airplanes, both of which are susceptible to UV damage from the sun’s rays. We also provide state of the art protection for your treasured electrical gadgets, mobile phones, watches and even items of clothing. Our commitment to complete customer satisfaction is seen in every service we provide.
