Sun damage on cars (and people) is caused by continued exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV is an undetectable form of radiation emitted by the sun of which there are two types: UVA and UVB. UVA rays are the rays that penetrate deep into the human skin and are the leading causes of early-aging skin and cancer. UVB rays on the other hand affect the surface of the skin and are where sunburn comes from. Protecting your assets from the sun with shadenet is a great way to keep not only yourself and your family protected from the sun but your vehicles as well.

Your cars and its paint job are affected in a similar way to your skin, except that instead of cancer and sunburn it causes the skin to fade, peel and oxidize (which is like having skin cancer on your car!). Another thing affected by sun damage is the interior of the car which can fade, bleach in the sun and warp from over exposure to the harmful Ultra Violet rays of the sun.

Protecting your car using shadenet (or shade cloth as it is also known) is a very popular and effective solution. Used by many companies and in many places like airports and other outdoor parking areas, shadenet provides ample protection from Ultra Violet rays and can drastically lengthen the life of your car’s exterior.
