Many people possess own car and like to
keep them new throughout the time of use. It is a nice feeling when even an old
car also looks new because of proper maintenance. If any kind of damage occurs
to the new car, it disappoints the person more than anything else. It is very
much important to ensure protection of the vehicle
internally as well as externally. External protection can be ensured to some
extent using proper covers.
SUV Covers help in protecting car from damage occurring due to acid rain, ultraviolet
rays, bird droppings, sun fading and even from the eyes of thieves. The use of
covers has both advantages and disadvantages.
A cover which does not fit accurately leads to more damage compared to
vehicle having no cover at all. If it is loose then wind may lead to flap
against the paints and cause severe scratching. There are cheaper covers as
well of ‘one size fit all’ but does not provide that tight fittings which is
required. Even if the car is dirty, the dirt trapped between the cover and the
paint will lead to scratches while removing of the cover and also flapping due
to wind. In order to overcome these problems, proper fitting covers are to be
put on a clean car.
It is better to have a bottom locking
system which allows plastic coated cables to hold tight at the bottom of the
cover. This prevents damage because of wind movement. The waterproof covers
which are made of plastic coated fabric of plastic film will help in keeping
away the rain but has a chance to trap moisture which can affect the paint of
the car. It is beneficial to use flannel cloth against the surface and then put
the plastic cover over it as a protective shield. The flannel wicks off
moisture and the plastic is an added protection against varmints to nest in
soft cloth.
Another type of cover available is
‘breathable’ which allows air circulation but not let water in and prevents
condensation. Most of them have UV screens woven into the mesh and helps in
withstanding degradation due to sunlight and are mildew resistant.Thecovers
made of Tyvek are usually light in weight and are easy to put on and take off.
Carcovers online
are also available nowadays with the increased use of internet shopping. Many
branded companies have shipping facility and delivers material purchased to
doorsteps. The only thing needed to be done is while ordering online, proper
specification needs to be selected.
There are some techniques in installing
and removing of cover. First is to place the cover in position and not being hooked
under the car and then taking one third of the cover in driver’s side and then
start folding over the top of the car in the direction of the passenger’s side.
This enables lesser movement of the cover and results in less chance of
scratching.
Care of car cover is very simple and involves periodic cleaning only. Most
of them can be washed with a mild detergent. Use of fabric softener is
restricted and should be used in dry condition only. It is also important to go
through the instruction of the manufacturer regardingdirection of use.
