Price to pay for owning a Z4!

I took Friday off so I can have a long weekend to enjoy the Z4 with the top down in Southern California. I drove the car from 11am-4pm.
Even with 30spf sunscreen, I got a sun burn and am red like a lobster!
What to do tomorrow?

Most sunblock will start protecting your skin 30 mins after you apply (not instantly)
They will stay for a few hours and need to reapply.
I suggest get a higher SPF like 50 or 100
Don't forget to protect your precious eyes too, (from dust, wind and sun)
Then you can enJOY the open top

Wow, that's quite a burn. Try not to do this again, skin cancer is a serious threat after repeated sunburns.

wow that's a serious burn. When it get's too hot, you should always put the top back up. As rmorin49 said, don't do it again or else you'll have bigger problems. The upside is that you now match the coral leather
