Hi Mate..If your car is covered in chocolate then you are in trouble...UV rays can damage paintwork but i should imagine it would take a good few years...Especially here in ole blighty, It might only be like this for a week..SO...Enjoy...Cheers..Ziga

Cheers ziga

I usually keep her polished and waxed. Atm she's parked at work under the shade of the trees... I'll risk tree sap to heat blisters.



Loving this weather, just need to remember its like an oven... Need to get the sunroof sorted, not an acrylic sheet riveted in :-/

You shouldn,t have any problems with the heat, my car is almost 50 years old and last time I went to Classic Le Mans my soap melted in my wash bag it was that hot. As far as the Sun is concerned it its dry when you leave it on the paint it should be ok, if its sticky it may damage the paint when you take it off.

You could get a roof skin and take a section off that to fibreglass it in, new headlining of course.They look great without sunroof.
