Protecting Your Car With A Car Cover
If you are often away from your house for periods of time, one of your worries is often the care and shelter of your car while you are away. Unless it's garaged, it is subject to harmful rays from the sun, bug splatter, bird droppings, falling branches, nicks, scrapes, and more. When you return from your trip you may find your car has suffered irreparable damage. You can prevent problems in the first place by fitting a custom fit car cover to guard your investment. Before you make you purchase, you should realize that not all car covers are the same - following are some things for you to take into consideration:
Car covers are essentially all the same, right? Definitely not! There are car covers which are anything from what is basically a loose fitting tarp to those like the BMW car cover which are custom designed for the particular make and model of the car. The loose fitting covers can let in and trap damaging moisture and debris and do not block damaging UV rays effectively. They can actually cause more problems that they prevent.
When looking at different car covers, consider other possible benefits of the cover beyond just covering the car.
Points to think about are:
Does it protect from harmful UV rays? If you live in an intense sun area, such as Florida, you need a car cover offering the greatest shelter from the sun.
How durable is the material, will it tear if exposed to ice and snow?
You need to be sure that it will adequately repel rain and moisture.
Ask yourself if the car cover your are considering will be able to endure the intense heat and extreme cold.
Will it be resistant to dust as some car covers prevent even the finest dust from accumulating.
Are the car covers you are looking at designed with extra layers for added shelter against scratches and dings? This is important to have if you leave behind your car in a public lot!
In addition, you will want to know if there is a lengthy guarantee included, what colors are available, and what are the return policies, if any.
Some car covers can easily be cleaned yourself. Those made of super weave fabric can actually be placed in a washing machine and washed using cold to hot water, regular laundry detergent, without bleach, and dried on your dryer's permanent press cycle. Always make sure you follow the manufacturers guidelines on washing. - 21392
