OT but...

The atmosphere blocks 98.7% of UV coming from space (enough to fry us to a crisp) and then the glass blocks 90% of whats left

But car window glass only really blocks UVB, the one that gives you a Tan.

Low energy UVA still passes through to cause the ageing damage to plastics etc...


This water spots issue sounds a bit poor.

All the more reason to own a silver car that hides all these horrors!
