:cat: Hi there mikegsg9.
If your car is brand new-I would definitely try and get a garage or carport at least. When I sold new cars many years ago-the cars which had been garaged all their lives definitely got a better trade in price. The atmosphere definitely does deteriorate the finish on your car. Various waxes and detailing products will provide a certain amount of protection from the atmosphere-but the sun and atmosphere is oxidizing everything you use on the car. If you intend to keep the car for several years-it will look better longer with a bit of protection. That's my two cents worth. :) Cheers :right: |

Carports are fairly in-expensive to build. Even though i've never priced one at work ( hardware store ) they shouldn't be too bad..
and undercoat the car! and it'll last you forever. |

I'll definitely NOT park the car under the sun 24-7-365...
Mainly because I live in a hot, hot place... (OK, not desert-hot to the point it melts your rubber but it's hot) :grin: |

Your last line of defence is a good coat of wax.
If garage or carport is unavailable, car cover is the next best thing. See -Exterior --Body http://www.volvocars.us/models/Accessories/S60/ |
