    It’s the same if it has this silvery surface which reflects radiation. Also don’t expect miracles. If you park in the sun, the air inside will still be super hot. The actual advantage is that your dash, steering wheel and seats won’t be lava when you get in the car.

      Ah sad… because I looked all around my Workplace. There is not one single parking spot in the shadow… So my car will still be burning… I was exited here for a second.

          Exactly right. I just meant that it definitely still will be uncomfortably warm when you get in at first, but overall hear will be lower. So definitely use it!

          Preventing the interior from being hit by direct sunlight also has the huge advantage the once you let out the warm air, there are no superheated parts that continue to radiate heat for many more minutes, making the actual ride much more enjoyable as well.
