    Good for you.

    My Mom's red car wasn't as fortunate.

    *TS, probably the detailing gurus can give advise on proper paint protection. Personally, I would do away with the free parking if it means having to expose my car under the sun. Podium has P45 flat rate and it's shaded I am not sure if it's the same rate until now.

    Megamall din po kung full parking na sa Podium at covered rin at 45 ang flat rate, alam ko as early as 6 a.m. pwede na mag park dun.

    Actually, kahit ano gawin mo.. there's no way in not having faded paint over time as long as you have UV rays hitting your paint. Paint protection helps lessens the damage a lot.. but it'll still fade over time.

    Some paint will fade faster than others.

    Personally, I wouldn't worry over it. I sometimes leave my car outside and not park it in even overnight and it won't really trigger my OC impulse to "save my paint" really.

    Once you have paint fade.. see if paint correction works.

    Paint fading is different from clear coat failure by the way.

    Mag worry ka na pag ung dashboard mo maging sticky or melted. Ung kaunting natipid mo sa free parking, sakit naman ng ulo ang babalik.
