It may seem strange to you, but using aluminum foil can be very useful for making the most of your car experience. In fact, for various reasons, this element will be able to guarantee you an improvement in some aspects. What are we referring to? Here’s everything you need to know about the importance of having aluminum foil on your dashboard (and beyond).
On car dashboard very often there is the custom of placing some objects, such as keys, papers, bags and more. Quite a bad move to make, albeit a very common one. In fact, in the event of an accident, these objects can collide with us or interfere with the regular deployment of the airbag.
The advice we can give is to never “load” our dashboard with objects when driving the car. Instead, in some cases, placing various objects on it when we are about to go out and leave the car in a parking lot could prove to be very useful.
For example, we refer to the very common tinfoil. It can be placed on the dashboard when leaving the passenger compartment, in such a way as to have a considerable advantage on our return. But what are we referring to?
The tinfoil or aluminum can be spread well on the dashboard or balls can be created with this material. But why will these moves guarantee an improvement in your car experience? Here we go to find out everything.
Put tinfoil on the dashboard – that’s all the importance of this gesture
An aluminum film or some balls created with this material will be able to give us a big one in a specific case. In the hot months of the year, in fact, we often find ourselves having to fight with the extreme heat and with a literally “on fire” car when we return inside it. In many cases, the dashboard and steering wheel of our car are real balls of fire and it becomes necessary to wait several minutes before being able to touch them.
Simple foil placed on the dashboard will allow us to protect, as much as possible, the dashboard and steering wheel from the heat of the sun’s rays beating on them. This film will act as a barrier and allow us to improve the situation considerably. Never forget, therefore, to always have normal aluminum foil close at hand in the car.
A very common problem, therefore, can be solved with an element present in every self-respecting kitchen. As often happens, many elements that are apparently unsuitable for the car can, in reality, prove to be very useful. The dashboard and steering wheel are – in most cases – dark in color and therefore attract the sun’s rays.
With an aluminum film, the force of the sun’s rays on these elements will be considerably attenuated. You will therefore be able to touch the steering wheel of your car with much less risk on hot summer days.
Furthermore, aluminum foil can also prove to be very useful in terms of safety. Perhaps not everyone knows that wrapping car keys in aluminum can be a do-it-yourself solution to prevent the car from being opened by thieves or criminals.
Modern Keyless keys are very practical, but more prone to theft. In fact, thieves – through a signal enhancer – are able to detect the presence of the key even several meters away. This way, it is child’s play for them to steal your car. Wrapping the keys in aluminum foil, on the other hand, will block any signal extension. It will become much more difficult for the thieves to carry out their criminal plans.
