  Does parking a new car under the sun everyday do its new paint job any harm? No MSCP or sheltered lots near workplace...

  After a few years more, go re spray the paint... but if cannot tahan now, go get some car wax and have a good workout.

  its not so much of the sun itself that damages ur paint, but the chemical reactions it causes that does. environmental contaminants and acidic rain which cars are constantly exposed to can wreck havoc on the paint job if left to bake under the sun.
