Surviving Cyprus Summer: Paint Protection Guide

Park in shade whenever possible. UV degrades clear coat fastest between 11am and 3pm.

Apply ceramic spray sealant every 3 months — it sheds water, dust, and bird droppings before they bond.

Don't leave water spots to dry in the sun. The minerals etch into paint within hours.

Sunshades for the windscreen save your dashboard, steering wheel, and seats — €15 well spent.

We sell SONAX protection products at the wash if you want to top up at home.
