☀️ UV Rays & Your Car: What Most Drivers Don’t Realise

on

 


New Zealand has some of the strongest UV levels in the world. While most people are aware of how it affects their skin, they often forget how damaging UV rays can be to their vehicle — and how quickly.

At FM7, we’ve been protecting cars for years with high-grade ceramic tinting — not just for style or heat reduction, but to shield your vehicle from UV destruction.

Here’s why that matters more than ever.

🔥 1. UV Rays Damage Your Car’s Interior

UV rays are responsible for:

  • Faded dashboards

  • Cracked leather seats

  • Discoloured plastics

  • Weakened fabric and stitching

These effects can show up in less than 2 years, especially in vehicles left parked outside.

A ceramic window film from FM7 blocks over 99% of harmful UV rays, acting like sunscreen for your car.

🧒 2. UV Rays Can Harm You and Your Passengers

Long drives without tint can expose you and your passengers to significant UV exposure, even inside the car.

This can lead to:

  • Premature skin aging

  • Sunburn (especially for children and babies)

  • Increased risk of skin damage on the driver’s right side (NZ drivers sit on the right)

🛡 Tint isn’t just for looks — it’s about protection.

🌡 3. UV and Heat Are a Package Deal

UV rays come with infrared heat, which builds up inside your cabin. That’s why tinting your car not only protects your skin and interior, but also keeps your vehicle significantly cooler in summer.

➡ Less A/C use
➡ More fuel efficiency
➡ More driving comfort
