I have several vehicles, and insufficient parking space. For some vehicles, the choice is either all day sunrays, or parking under trees subjecting them to bird scat and tree drippings/sap.
The UV is going to attack the clearcoat and paint. It cannot be washed away. The shade is the only cure. (I do cover the dash and interior as best I can to protect against UV.
But the shade has a price and the bird and tree droppings require constant washing. Almost daily, I spot wash with soapy water and rag to get off any bird droppings.
Probably frequent waxing will help.
I'm reluctant to use car covers. I've seen what happens when wind and sand get in them, it's like sandpaper on paint. Erecting any structure is not an option here either.
Help me with a solution or your thoughts on what is more harmful.
