I think {ratlh} "remain" should be used for the opposite of "go away".
If you're trying to say the device kept your car cool, there's a large
collection of suffixes to choose from.

{Do' ~carwIj tujchoHbe'moH jan}
"Luckily the device caused my car not to become hot."

The device is made FROM two circles and not BY them, so {chen} "take form"
is probably not the best word to use here.  {ghaj} "possess" or {ngaS}
"contain" seem to be better.  Since the circles are "covered with" nylon,
{Dech} "surround" might be useful.

{cha' gho'e' Dechbogh ~nylon ghaj pemHov yoD}
"The sun's shield has two circles which are surrounded by nylon."
