You might think all car covers are created equal, but in fact, there are some that can do more damage than good. A one sizes fits all cover can cause damage to your car if it is windy and the cover is too loose. It will let dirt underneath the cover and it will also slap against your car. If the car cover you choose is not waterproof and it rains the moisture can sit on the car and cause damage.
If you are planning on storing your classic or customize car you will want an indoor cover made specifically for the make and model of car you have. You will want an indoor cover that is light weight and has a soft lining to protect your investment. A custom fit cover will give you maximum protection against dirt and dust that could scratch your pride and joy.
A cover that is specifically made for your type of car is a lot easier to use. It will also conform to the body of your vehicle to give you maximum protection. A custom fit cover will keep your vehicle looking sharp for years to come. Another benefit of choosing a custom cover over a universal fit cover is that most custom ones come with manufacturer’s warranty that cover the car cover for several years.
A car cover not only has to cover your car it also needs to be the right type to protect your car. If you are parking your car outside you need to make sure that you get a car cover that is water proof and UV protected. An indoor cover’s main purpose is to protect it from dust, dirt and keep moisture out.
Corrosion to your car’s paint finish is caused over time by rain and moisture. Acid rain is a major cause of corrosion and damage to a car’s finish. Acid rain contains sulfur and nitrogen oxides that can be very acidic and destroy a car’s paint finish if a car cover is not used.
An outdoor car cover with high water resistance should be used on your car if you live where it rains frequently. You should use a marine grade or highly water resistant car cover in you live in a coastal area. The salty ocean air can do major damage to your car if it is left out in the elements without a cover. You will want a cover with the highest UV protection if you live in a hot sunny climate.
To get the maximum protection from a custom car cover you will want to make sure your vehicle is clean before putting the cover on. It needs to fit snuggly and conform to your vehicles body. Most high quality car covers have a bottom locking system that will help keep the cover securely in place.
You can find car covers in a variety of materials and styles to fit your specific car. The type you choose will depend on different things; including where you live, how often the cover is used and whether it is for indoor or outdoor use. You can shop around on many reliable online stores to find the car cover that will fit your exact needs.
