Summer Tips – Page 2 – motor snitch

In the summer it's hot outside. Too hot. And your car is only making it worse. You can roll down the windows, but that only lets in more of the scorching sun. You can blast the air conditioning, but you realise it's not giving you much comfort like it's supposed to. So, what can you do to keep cool during these unbearable summer days? Check out our 12 tips below! Tips on how to keep your car cool in the summer heat 1. Paint your car a light color: The first tip I would suggest is to spray your car a lighter color. As you might already know, the darker the color, the more heat it absorbs. If you want to keep your car cooler, opt for a lighter shade. White reflects sunlight and will help keep the inside of your car cooler. If you are not a fan of white cars I would suggest a light blue, green, or even silver because these colors also reflect a good amount of sunlight. 2. Sunshade: Another tip for keeping your car cool is to use a sunshade. A sunshade is a piece of material that you put on your windshield to block the sun's rays. Sunshades are usually made of reflective material and can be folded up so that they are easy to store. Sunshades are placed on the windshield and help keep the Sun's rays from entering your car directly. This will make a big difference in how hot your car gets during the day. You can find these sunshades at most convenience stores or online. Sunshades come in all different sizes so make sure to measure your windshield before you buy one. Also, they are budget-friendly so with just a few dollars you can make your car a lot cooler. 3. Use a windshield visor: A windshield visor is a great way to keep the sun out of your eyes and also help keep your car cooler. Visors attach to the top of your windshield and can be easily removed when you don't need them. Visors are made of a variety of materials, but I would suggest one that is made of reflective material. This is because a reflective material will bounce the sun's rays back into the atmosphere so using a visor will help keep the sun's rays from entering your car and making it hotter. You can find visors at most auto stores or online. 4. Park in the shade: Another tip is to park at a place where your car is not directed exposed to the sun's rays. If you have ever left your car parked outside in the summer without any shade you realize how unbearably hot the interior of your car can be. I would suggest that when you are looking for a parking spot, try to find one that is in the shade. This will help keep your car cooler when you return to it later on. If there are no spots available in the shade, try to park under a tree. The tree will provide some coverage and keep your car a little cooler. Also, I would suggest you park your car in a garage during the summer. If you have a garage, use it! Park your car in the garage to keep it out of the direct sunlight. The garage will help to keep your car cooler and also protect it from the elements. 5. Crack your windows: Another tip is to crack your windows when you are driving. This will allow for air circulation and help to cool down the inside of your car. Just make sure you don't crack them too much or else the wind noise will be too loud. Also when you park your car, I would advise that you crack the windows a little bit to help air circulate and cool down your car before you get back in it. 6. Keep windows up and AC on: This tip might seem obvious but it is important nonetheless. When the temperature outside is unbearable, make sure to keep your windows rolled up and the air conditioning on. This will create a barrier between you and the hot outside air inside your car. Air conditions in cars are not as strong as the ones in our homes, so it is important to keep the windows up to help trap the cold air inside. 7. Use a portable fan If you don't have air conditioning in your car or if it is not working properly, you can use a portable fan to help keep cool. You can find these fans at most stores or online. All you have to do is plug it into your cigarette lighter and point the fan towards you. These fans are not as powerful as air conditioners, but they can help to circulate the air and make the inside of your car more bearable. Portable fans come in all different sizes so you can find one that is small and won't take up a lot of space. 8. Change out your floor mats: In the summer, it is a good idea to change out your floor mats for ones that are made of a lighter material. This will help keep the inside of your car cooler because darker materials absorb more heat. You can find floor mats made of a variety of materials, but I would suggest ones that are made of bamboo or another light-colored material. Bamboo is a great material because it is durable and has anti-bacterial properties. It is also a sustainable material so you can feel good about using it. 9. Tinted windows: If you want to keep your car cool, I would suggest tinting your windows. Tinted windows will help keep the sun's rays from entering your car and make it hotter because it is made from a reflective material. You can have your windows professionally tinted or you can buy a kit and do it yourself. If you decide to tint your own windows, make sure to follow the instructions carefully so that you don't damage your car. Tinted windows will also help keep your car cooler in the winter because they will prevent heat from escaping. The material that is used in making window tints vary so make sure to choose one that is of high quality. 10. Seat covers Again, If you want to keep your car cool in the summer, I would suggest using seat covers. Seat covers will help protect your seats from the sun and also keep them cooler to the touch. Seat covers are made from a wide range of materials so make sure to choose one that is comfortable and breathable. You can find seat covers at most auto stores or online. 11. Install solar window film Another great way to keep your car cool is by installing solar window film. This will help block out the sun's rays and keep your car cooler. Solar films are available in a variety of shades so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. You can find the solar film at most auto stores or online. 12. Avoid idling Finally, When it's hot outside, the last thing you want to do is sit in your car with the engine running. Idling makes your car hotter because the engine is working hard and producing heat. If you are going to be stopped for more than a minute, it is better to turn off your engine. These are just a few tips that can help to keep your car cool during the summer heat. By following these tips, you can make the inside of your car more bearable and also protect your car from the heat. Final Thoughts: There are a lot of ways that you can keep your car cool in the summer heat. I would suggest trying a few of these tips to see which ones work best for you. With a little bit of effort, you can make your car a lot more comfortable to drive in during the hot summer months. Also, try to stay hydrated when you are driving in the heat. It is important to drink plenty of water so that your body can stay cool. You can bring a cooler with you and fill it with water bottles so that you have them on hand when you get thirsty.
