A car cover has to fit properly if it is going to protect your valuable vehicle. A car cover that doesn’t fit the make and model of your car can do more damage to your pride and joy than leaving it uncovered. A loose fitting cover will allow dirt and dust to get between the cover and your car. It also can slap against your car in windy conditions and cause paint to chip and cause scratches. That is why it is a good investment to get a car cover that is specifically designed for your make and model of vehicle.
You should dust your car off regularly because dust and dirt can be abrasive to your paint job, just like sandpaper. Keeping your car clean and washing it regularly will keep it looking new for years to come. Waxing your car is another way to add a protective layer to protect your car’s exterior.
Car covers are made of both natural and synthetic fibers and materials and both can be effective in protecting your car from the elements. A high quality car cover will be more expensive than a universal one. However, a good quality car cover will protect your investment better and pay for itself in the long run. Custom made covers are made of durable and protective materials and have better tie down methods.
A thicker heavy duty car cover is a good choice if you park your car in a crowded parking lot or where there is heavy pedestrian traffic. The thicker covers give you maximum protection against dents and dings. A light weight car cover is a good choice for indoor use, especially if you take the cover on and off frequently. For long term indoor storage you can choose a heavier indoor car cover that will give you maximum protection against dings, dust and dirt.
A custom fit car cover will protect your car from the harsh elements or from being scratched or dinged. Universal, one size fits all, car covers won’t give you the maximum protection your car deserves. A custom fit cover is designed to fit smoothly and snugly over the lines of your car. A custom car cover will have mirror pockets and grommet holes for antennas. Generic car covers will fit loosely and won’t protect your car as well as a custom one will.
The type and thickness of a car cover will depend on how you intend to use the cover and if it will be used indoors or outdoors. If you park outside daily you will want to find a cover that is light and easy to take off and on. If you use a car cover daily you will also want one that is easy to fold and store.
The best way to protect your vehicle whether it is indoors or outdoors is with a custom car cover that is made specifically for your car. There are many reputable online stores that you can use to find the cover that best fits your needs and budget.
