Using a car under the scorching heat of nearly 40 degrees Celsius recently also has some effect on the health of the users as well as the parts of the “beloved car”. If you have to travel during the day, especially in the summer like now, drivers need to know how to cool the vehicle to create comfort and reduce the risk of damage.
Here are some ways to “cool down” the car cabin with costs ranging from expensive to cheap. Car owners can consider combining multiple measures to achieve the best results.
Choose quality heat-insulating film
If a low-quality heat-insulating film only has the main function of changing color to add privacy for users, high-quality films can also solve the problem of heat insulation from the outside into the cabin and vice versa.

Tint film is one of the many ways to help the car cabin resist heat. |
Most films are advertised to have the ability to block 99% of UV rays, however, the infrared radiation index is the main factor that creates a sense of heat. Users should pay more attention to the infrared radiation index when choosing films.
The reason why many people mistakenly believe that the insulating ability of the film depends largely on the transparency is that if the same type of film with the same infrared ray blocking index, the film with low transparency will have better insulation ability.
Currently, there are quite a few heat-insulating film lines from brands like Cool N Lite, 3M, Xpel… Most high-end film lines from brands have equivalent heat insulation capabilities, at this time, users should pay attention to the after-sales policies.
The price for a high-quality heat-insulating film set ranges from over 10 million dong for sedans and over 12 million dong for larger models such as SUVs.
Use sunshade products for cars
If you park your car in the sun for a long time, heat from the outside can still transfer to the cabin even if the car is equipped with heat-insulating film, at this time, users need sunshade accessories.
Umbrellas or sun visors for windshields are considered the first items to buy, this position is where the car receives the most heat when parked under the sun. Users should choose products with a reflective coating to limit the heat transfer into the cabin.
The side door position can find dark mesh blinds. Users should buy types with magnets for easy installation and not fall off or move when moving.

Some car models come with sun blinds. |
In addition to the above two accessories, covering the car exterior with a tarp is also a consideration. Using this equipment helps protect the exterior paint layer, however, it can be lost when parking in public areas.
The price for sunshade products for cars is quite cheap, ranging from a few tens of thousands of dong to about 600,000 dong per set. This can be considered the most economical choice for car cooling.
Find a reasonable parking spot
In addition to equipping with items such as heat-insulating film or sun blinds, the parts on the car, users can actively find a suitable parking spot to limit the sunlight shining into the vehicle. The accessories on the car will also work more durable when not in contact with heat from the sun.

Choose shaded parking spots for the car. |
Besides helping the car cabin cool down, parking in a shady place also helps the exterior paint layer stay newer for a longer time, reducing the phenomenon of fading or swelling of the paint.
Spending extra money to park in underground or covered parking lots is considered a sensible way to protect the vehicle. The cost of parking in these places is still cheaper than the amount of money spent on beauty treatments after a period of use.
