    what do you do as preventive maintenance to preserve the paint specially when the car is parked in open parking area? The car is exposed in direct sunlight 24/7.

    Find shade?

    It happened to my Mom's car. The paint in the hood, roof and trunk became dull compared to the rest of the car.

    +1 We sacrificed 3/4 of our living room space just so the second car will have a place to stay. We don't want to inconvenience road users. Our neighbors though have other ideas

    Car cover or better yet trapal. Aside from the paint you need to protect the rubber (door seals and tires) and plastic (headlights, tail lights, trim, dashboard) parts from UV.

    Prepare to have your car maintained for paint protection or learn to DIY para di mabutas ang bulsa.
