Keeping your car cool in Summer can be difficult, especially with the hot Australian Summers we have been experiencing of late. Air conditioning is of course the most convenient way to keep cool whilst driving, but when you first enter your car it can seem like a lifetime before it kicks in.

Preventative measures need to be taken to reduce the amount of heat retained in your car. Window tinting is a fantastic way to reduce those harmful UV rays and reduce heat. Try to park in the shade wherever possible. When you leave your vehicle you should put window shades up to further reduce the sun exposure. If you have a sunroof make sure you put the cover in place. A steering wheel cover is not advisable to use whilst driving as they have been proven to be dangerous as it reduces your grip and slippage can occur.
