July 28th, 2013 11:29 PM #1Which is better for our car's exterior? Parking under the sun or parking under a tree (with free twigs, leaves, and bird droppings after 1 workday)?
Where I work, there are no alternatives other than open parking.
In other forums (abroad), they recommend parking under the sun but I'm not sure if this applies here in our tropical heat.

Ok lang under the sun as long na protected ang paint, trims, interior mo. Kung ang tao nag susunblock, ang kotse din.
Ako kasi mas gusto ko under the sun kasi gamit ko naman eh wax na may uv protection, may microtex sunshield din ako for interior and trims.
Kaso yung erpats ko ang hilig ipark sa ilalim ng puno ng mangga, result: dahon, bird bombs, dagta, at kung anu-ano pang insekto.

July 28th, 2013 11:37 PM #3given a choice, i'd park in the shade during the daytime and in the open air at night.
but we have to remember, the shade under the tree moves with time..

July 28th, 2013 11:43 PM #4Dati gusto ko under the tree, Na realize ko na mas ok ang sa araw kasi kapag under the tree nakakagasgas pa ng pintura yung mga nalalag na dahon, sanga at poop ng ibon.. At sabi nila hindi naman daw basta basta masisira yung pintura kahit nakabilad sa araw. :-)

bird poop and dagta ng puno etches the clear coat. Once it's there and baked, it would be hard to remove. Malas mo pa kapag bumagyo at nabagsakan ka ng puno. Maari pang matotal wreck kotse mo.

I'll park under the tree anytime. If the paint is protected anyway with wax and whatnot, any bird droppings or tree sap can be washed off easily.
Worst case, I'd rather have small, almost imperceivable blemishes than have the paint fade. Wax will not eliminate paint fade. It might slow it down but if you park in the sun everyday, it will likely be of little help.
Also, I hate entering a car that's been parked in the sun for a long time. It's like a blast furnace.

Old car - under the tree
Tambayan ang under the tree.... Baka ipatong pa ang kinakain nila sa ibabaw ng hood mo....

Yes, i do think so. Since it's based on the 4th-gen delica/space gear, which in turn shares some of...
