Car Covers And Christmas Holidays








Hi everybody this blog has been about sharing information on covers, from the simple car cover to the large RV covers. And it's that time of year to stop and thank all the people that have helped our websites and blogs do so well. From all of us at D. R. Global Marketing thank you and have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Now that we have said our thank you we need to carry on with the cover information highway. This time of year there are more then a few good reasons to purchase a cover for your vehicles and RVs. Just look outside and what do you see? If you are in the Eastern part of this country you probably see snow and ice. If your from the Midwest you will be looking at either snow or rainy conditions, then there is the Southwest part of this great country and yes the sun is still shining bright there. If you are from this part of the country count yourself as one of the lucky ones. There are covers for both vehicles and RVs that are made just for the intense sun UV rays. These covers are called the Tyvek cover it uses a material made by Dupont. This material will stand up to the sun much better than any other cover material in the Southern part of our country. It is white to reflect the sun and help keep your vehicle or RV cool on the inside. The Tyvek cover is a single layer cover that provides both waterproofing and UV protection. I recommend this cover to all our customers that live in the Southwest and any place that needs that extra protection from the sun. Now for the customers that live in the Northwest, Midwest or East and far North. There are covers made for you in mind. First the 3 layer waterproof cover will provide great protection from snow, ice, rain, damp conditions and long periods of seasonal storage. This cover is made with three layers the first layer is made of a durable material the middle layer is a waterproof but breathable material and the third layer is a protective material. This cover is an excellent cover for the cooler and wet parts of this country and others. Then there's the four layer covers they have all the properties that a three layer cover has plus a fourth inside layer of fleece, this fleece will protect your clear coat finish on your show cars, brand new vehicles and any type of car, truck ,SUV, van or station wagon you want to give that little extra love to.
Well I think there are many good reasons to cover your vehicles both in the Winter months and Summer months and that is to protect your investment. At the price we are paying for our vehicles and RVs you need to protect them from the normal day to day nicks and scratches as well as environmental exposure from acid rain to bird droppings that can fade your paints finish.

Car Covers and Winter Weather









Well here we go again, it won't be long before the snow will be falling and the cold and wet winter will be here for the next several months. There is one thing that I really hate is to have to scrape my vehicle windows in the morning before I go to work. There is a way around doing that and that is to have a vehicle cover. When you have a cover on your car, truck, SUV or other vehicle you won't have to spend that time scraping or brushing the snow and ice from your windows. That alone will give you another 15 to 30 minutes to enjoy the warm comfort of your house or apartment, and to have another cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate before heading off to work.

It is also that time of year to winterize your RV's before the temperatures get below freezing. Make sure you drain you water storage tanks and get antifreeze pumped through all of your supply lines. The other day a friend told me about a mistake he made when winterizing his RV this year. He did all the things you should do and thought he was ready to cover his RV for the season. Turned off the appliances and shut down the propane tanks so everything was off. After putting his RV cover on he checked it the next week to make sure all was OK. As he walked around his RV he noticed a hole in the cover and it looked like a burn hole. It took him some time to think how that could have happened when everything was turned off. Well the one thing he forgot was the two way switch on his hot water tank, even though the propane was off the electric was still on and the heating element came on in the hot water tank and got hot enough to burn the cover. So he asked me to bring this to peoples attention so maybe they wouldn't make the same mistake.

So one thing you can be sure of is that winter is close by and now is the time to get ready for the cold wet days ahead. So get your RV's ready and think about that cover for your vehicles before you have to scrape those windows this year.

Well that's it for this week if you have any questions about vehicle covers please visit our web site at www.clickitcoverit.com

Car Covers In The Wet And Cold Weather









Hello again time for another article about car covers. This week we will talk about the wet weather and how your car cover handles it. I live in Northern Arizona and we have been getting a lot of rain this year during the monsoon season. I have a waterproof cover for my Jeep and when it rains there is some moisture under it, I thought it was waterproof and it is, the moisture I'm seeing is condensation from the temperature change when the rainy weather come blowing in. Even though I live in Northern Arizona the day time temps can get up there around 102 degrees some days. And when the rainy weather come the temps will drop by 20 to 30 degrees and this can cause condensation to form under the cover. So it may look as if the cover is leaking but it's not, if you give it some time after the rain has stopped and things start to dry out the cover is made to breath and this will wick away the condensation from under the cover. If you have a rain storm and the cover is wet and the day turns to night you will defiantly have condensation under the cover in the morning. The drop in temps will cause this to happen and if you can leave the cover on you will find it will dry out underneath in just a little while. If you live in parts of the country that gets very cold like below freezing you may find your cover stuck to the vehicle, this happens when during the day the sun warms up your vehicles finish and causes condensation to form under the cover and as the temps fall below freezing the cover freezes to your vehicles finish. If you have time to let the cover warm up it will come off your vehicle with out hurting the cover. But if you need to get the cover off right now we suggest pouring hot water on the cover to help it release from the finish. If you try to force the cover off you will damage it and it may lose it's waterproofing capabilities.

There are two different types or waterproof covers, first there is the water resistant cover, this cover isn't waterproof but it will help stop some of the water from getting underneath the cover and still will breath to help dry out after the storm. The true waterproof cover is 100% waterproof meaning that no water can get under the cover, but you will see condensation under it so don't think it is leaking because it's not. It also can breath and will dry out after just a little time. I get this question a lot about waterproof covers and they always think it's leaking, so then I have to explain about the condensation factor. These water resistant and waterproof covers are also mildew and mold resistant and UV treated to stand up in all kinds of weather. When your cover gets wet you should try to dry it out before you fold it up or stuff it in the storage bag, this will help it to last longer and to maintain the waterproof treatment as well as the mold and UV treatment. We suggest if you can to leave the cover on the car until it is dry or if you must take it off wet, to lay it out unfolded so it can dry before storing it away.

I hope this information has been helpful in answering some of your questions and explaining some proper care of your covers. If you would like more information about vehicle covers and accessories please visit us at http://www.clickitcoverit.com

Car Covers And The Last Lotus Drive











As the writer for the Internet website ClickitCoverit.Com I sometimes hear stories that make my heart drop. The other day I got a phone call from the owner of LotusOwners his name is Tony he was trying to get a couple of car covers sent to him right away. He lives in New York and has had a club for Lotus owners for the last 20 some years. He had asked if I could send two Tyvek covers right away because one of the club members was not doing so well and they need the covers for a road trip they are taking on 8/18/2010. I told him that we would make sure he would get the two covers before 8/17. He then told me why it was so important that these covers arrive before there trip. A gentleman named Floyd was going to take what maybe his last trip in his super 7 Lotus that his son had bought for him. His son lives in Hong Kong and had bought this lotus for his father as a gift before he dies of cancer. Tony had told me that his son called him and told him to find a super 7 lotus so he could give it to his father and he could take a trip before he passed away. Tony said that he would do this for him and got the car. Floyd was concerned that it might rain on there trip in New York and asked Tony to get covers for their cars he didn't want them to get wet. I have gone to Tony's website LotusOwners on the front page you will see Floyd setting in his super 7 lotus. This story has touched my heart and my blessings go out to Floyd and his family. The Tyvek covers we are sending to Tony will work well to protect there vehicles in the sun and wet weather, they are light weight and are mold and mildew resistant. Yes the covers will arrive well before there trip I have made sure of that under the circumstances. This is just one of the stories I have heard working in the retail car cover business. I have been writing articles now for almost two years and I enjoy it very much.

There are a lot of different types of car covers being sold on the Internet today and the Tyvek cover is one of the best, it is made of a Dupont material that is high in UV and heat protection also water repellent as well as mold and mildew resistant. This cover is made for all kinds of applications including cars, trucks, vans, RVs, SUVs, boats and more... The protection it provides is well worth the cost.

I Love My Car Cover











I have been driving for over 35 years and have always taken good care of my cars. In the last few years I have been using a car cover to protect my vehicles and what a difference it has made. For many years I would spend every weekend washing and detailing my cars exterior and interior. Now with the car cover I spend time doing the things I love instead of work my weekends at home cleaning my ride. I only have to wash my car once a month and the inside also stays cooler during the summer months. It makes me think of all the time I spent trying to keep my car clean and looking good, also the money I lost when I would take it to a dealer for a trade-in. Your vehicles are an investment that will lose their value if you don't take good care of them. Like I said I would spend every weekend cleaning my car, not having a cover the exterior finish would lose it's luster and the interior would suffer from the sun and heat. Now with the car cover my vehicles hold their value for a longer time and when I would trade them in I would get a better price for them. Having a cover for my vehicles is the best investment I ever made for my cars.

There are many types of covers made for your vehicles today. There are covers for all kinds of climates and environments. If you need protection in your garage there are light weight covers made just for that. If you keep your vehicle outside in the intense sun of the Southwest there are covers made just for that too. For those that live in the Northern or Eastern part of this country there are covers to handle all the weather mother nature can throw at it. Let's first talk about the covers to protect your vehicle in your garage or in a storage building. This cover is great for keeping the dust of your car and to stop the little dings and scratches that you get when somebody is walking by it and my rub against the finish. The indoor cover will not stand up to the sun vary well and isn't waterproof, so it is recommended for indoor use only. Next we have the tyvek covers that are made to handle the sun of the Southwest. This sun-reflecting white Tyvek material provides maximum UV protection which reduces fading of a vehicles paint and interior. This space-age, lightweight Dupont Tyvek is easy to handle and store. It's long been used by contractors to protect homes during construction. HAZMAT suits are also made from Tyvek to protect people from the most harmful conditions. It is fast drying, mold and mildew resistant and will help protect a vehicle from acid rain, tree sap, dust and other harmful pollutants. Then we have the three and four layer covers made to handle all the weather conditions, they are waterproof and have been UV treated to stand up to the sun. The weather in the wet and coldest parts of the country need a cover like this. From Alaska to New York the three and four layer covers will stand up to weather to protect your vehicles.

When you are looking for a cover for your vehicle I think the Internet is the best place to shop. On the Internet you can find all the information at your finger tips and also find a complete selection on sizes for all your vehicles may it be a car, truck, motorcycle, RV etc. You will also have a source to contact them for any questions you might have before you make your purchase. If you go to a retail store like an auto parts or Walmart you will have a very limited choice of covers and the only information about the cover will be whats on the box.

I think it was the best thing I ever did to protect my vehicles and to give me more time to enjoy the weekends doing the things I love. So get a vehicle cover and it will pay of itself by keeping your vehicles value and saving you money in maintenance.

You can find these covers online by just typing in the search box tyvek covers' and you will have many web sites to give you general information about the use of and general information about tyvek covers.

I have had many people tell me that the tyvek cover is the best for the sun and heat. There are a few things that I would like to tell you about this cover. The tyvek cover is a one layer cover, it is light weight and can be easily damaged. When you are ready to put your cover on make sure there are no sharp edges or corners that can slice the cover as you pull it over you vehicle. That is the only complaint about this cover. After you have had this cover out in the sun for many years it does become a little brittle and can be damaged when you install and remove the cover, so if you take a little time to check for sharp corners and edges your cover will last that much longer.

Vehicle Covers A Good Choice








Making the choice to get a vehicle cover is a good plan, there are many reasons to cover your vehicles, I will break down these reasons in this article. In general when you buy a vehicle cover for your car, truck, motorcycle, boat or other RV or ATV you are making a wise decision to protect your asset and the value of the vehicle. There are many cover company's out there today so choosing the right cover from the right company can be hard sometimes. I will also talk about how to find the right cover and company to buy your vehicle cover from.

Why is buying a vehicle cover a good idea? First you are protecting your vehicles value, next you are helping keep its resale or trade-in value and last of all you are keeping your vehicle looking the best it can by keeping it cleaner, having to wax and wash it less, and helping to keep all those dings and scratches away.

When you decided to look for a cover for your vehicle, the first thing to consider is where you will be covering this vehicle. Will it be inside or outside or even both. What is your location, is it mostly sunny or rainy or both. If you are covering your vehicle in your garage or under a carport you will have to decide if you need a light weight cover or a three or four layer cover that will also help when something rubs or bumps up against your vehicle. If under a carport you may have rain coming in on your vehicle. This scenario would require a waterproof cover. Some of you will have your vehicle outside all the time, the covers to be used for outside protection have UV and waterproof treatments to make them stand up to the harsh environmental conditions, therefore, the dust cover is not the best choice for this.

Some of you will be living in areas that have heavy winters to contend with. The three and four layer covers will be needed for this. They work both inside and outside and are treated to withstand all that mother nature can throw at it whether it's sun, rain, snow or ice. Some of you will be in the Southern part of the country where there is intense sunshine as well as rain to deal with. The Tyvek cover is light weight and white in color to reflect the sun and heat. It is also water resistant. Then there is the three layer waterproof covers which will work well here but if you have a vehicle that is new or just repainted or maybe a collector vehicle you will want the four layer cover with the fleece lining for total protection of your vehicles finish. Something to note is if you have just repainted your vehicle you will want to wait at least three months until the finish has hardened before using a cover.

All of the vehicle covers can be used inside and out, but some of the light weight covers are best used inside only with light outdoor use. The warranty will not cover a dust cover for outside use. This cover will fall apart after a short time in the sun, weather or high winds. These dust covers state that they are for inside use. The warranty for the three and four layer covers including the waterproof covers will cover their use outside. So make the right choice of use and you will have the proper protection. The different types of vehicle covers come with warranties of different lengths, so make sure you check the warranty before you buy.

Choosing the right company is up to you but there is a few things you should look for. You can find these cover suppliers in retail stores or on the Internet. I know that the suppliers on the Internet have a larger selection to choose from and they will have more information about their covers then just looking at a box in your retail store. The one advantage the retail store has is if you want to return the cover you just take it back to the store you bought it at, whereas if you buy a cover over the Internet and its not right you will have to pay the shipping to return it. Most of the Internet sites have a 30 day money back guaranty. And if you have a warranty return you will have to pay the return shipping even if you bought it at the retail store. If you are computer savvy that is the way to look for a vehicle cover. You will have all the resources to answer all your questions about the covers either by e-mail or using the phone. Most company's have toll free numbers or online help. If you take the time to check your order with the company to make sure it is the right cover for you, you won't have to worry about returning it.

Car Covers In Todays Economy








I'm writing this article because a study shows that less and less vehicle covers are being sold today. I'm sure it's because of today's economy, I find this hard to understand. There are many new cars being bought and sold and used cars also. The one thing our economy is doing is to slow down the retail market due to lots of people loosing there jobs and the high cost of living. But if you have a car or other vehicle that has been a large or small investment for you it is only smart to protect it's value so if you need to sell or trade them down the line there value will have remained high. The number one overall item you can purchase for your vehicle may it be a car, truck, SUV, van or other type of vehicle, is a cover. The car cover will be beneficial to the protection of it's value in many ways. First it will protect your cars finish from a multitude of attackers, the sun is one of the worst causes of damage to your cars exterior finish. The UV rays will cause oxidation of the paint, also dry out all the rubber and plastic on the outside of your vehicle. Next the environment will also damage your cars exterior with acid rain, chemical fallout, bird droppings and the wind blowing sand and dirt and other objects against your cars exterior finish. There are many enemies of your car from the environment to the parking lots at work also the kids in the street, and if you park your vehicle in your carport or garage you will still need to cover it. Having your car under a carport or garage you may think it is protected, but there are many ways your car can be damaged even there. In the garage one of the most common is somebody just walking by and they may rub up against you car or even worst there keys or some metal on there pants comes in contact with your cars finish and there is just one more scratch. In the carport the number one damage to your vehicle is the car doors next to your car, how many times have you seen the telltale marks on your door from the car next to you. Doesn't that just irritate you. If you were to have a body shop give you an estimate for fixing any of the things I just mentioned you would find that you could have bought not only one cover but as many as two, three, four or even five covers. Next there is the interior of your vehicle, having your dash, seats, Cd's, DVDs and other valuable items exposed to the sun and heat that can build up fast in hot weather will speed up there destruction. You would be surprised that a cover will drop your interior temperatures by as much as 20 degrees. There are covers made just for the Southwest States that can even drop the temperatures more. Not only will these covers keep the interior temps down they will keep prying eyes from seeing your costly accessories like high priced stereos, speakers, video displays and more. So it's only smart to buy a cover for your vehicle to help protect it from losing it's value and being broken into. Even in today's economy you need to spend money on a car cover to protect your investment. Just like you spend money on cloths, food, gas, insurance and mortgage. The car covers are just as important. You have car insurance to protect you car, and you have home owners insurance to protect your home, you should also have a cover to protect your vehicles from the damage that they will most definitely receive. The cost of a vehicle cover is well worth it. Think about this article and I'm sure you will agree with me, that it's not that much money to spend for the overall value you will receive.

It's Time For A New Car Cover







This week I'm going to talk about when you can tell it's time for a new car cover. There are many covers made today and they all have there time for replacement. When you buy a car cover they come with a warranty and this warranty will cover the material, tie down grommet, UV and waterproof protection as well as the seams and elastic hem in the front and back. If any of these has a problem during the warranty period you should contact the seller or manufacturer and inquire about a replacement. So I'm going to explain what your warranty will cover and when you should replace your cover after the warranty has run out and the cover is showing signs of wear.

First let's talk about the warranty, all warranties vary from type of cover and manufacturing company. (1) Material: the warranty will cover any type of defect in the material under normal use. (2) Tie down grommets: Covers that come with tie down grommets will be covered under the warranty for defects under normal use. (3) UV and Waterproofing: Car Covers come with different types of protection, some are rated low for the UV and water protection and others are rated high for this protection. The warranty will cover you based on which cover you bought and the UV and Waterproof treatment as per each cover type. It should provide the UV and Waterproofing for the covered time under the warranty time period. (4) Seams: This means that seams shouldn't come apart during the warranty time period under normal use. (5) Elastic Hems: Most Car covers come with elastic hems to help keep the cover on your car, they shouldn't lose there elasticity or come apart under normal use. All these warranties vary and are up to each company as to how they will handle and respond to there claims.

Now to the cover that needs replacement after the warranty has run out. Most if not all car covers will out last there warranty period, So you need to take a close look at your cover at the end of each season and check for wear and problems that will cause the cover to stop protecting your vehicle. The first thing is checking to see if the material is still in good shape and still protecting your car from the environment. Like is it still preventing the rain to penetrate the cover, and also stopping the UV rays from damaging your finish and interior. The best way is to first clean your cover to get all the dirt off from this past season, check your site where you purchased it for cleaning instructions. Then put the cover on your car and let it completely dry. Then taking your garden hose and simulate a rain storm don't stand close and blast the cover just let the rain fall on the cover. After you have done this then check if the cover is still stopping the rain from getting to you cars finish. If you find that water is coming through the cover it is time to replace it. To check for UV protection is a bit tricky, take the cover after you have cleaned it and let it completely dried remove it from the car and on a sunny day stand under it and look towards the sun for weak spots in the material where the sun can come through to damage your car. If you see weak spots or thin spots then you should replace the cover. Checking the seams is easy to do just follow each seam and look for damage or sewing coming apart, if you can repair this great if not you may want to replace the car cover. To check the elastic hems check to see if they will still stretch and retract and if they still hold the car cover tight under the front and rear of your vehicle, if they are getting all stretched out or loose and not able to hold your cover securely to your vehicle I would suggest replacing the cover before the next big wind, having a loose cover can damage your finish by rubbing on it. One last thing to check is the tie down grommets located along the bottom hem in the middle of your vehicle cover. Check to see if they are still tight in the material and not beginning to pull out of the cover. These tie down grommets are a great help to keep your car cover on during and windy condition.

Car Covers Now !







Well here it is the first of April and the weather is changing, Now is the time to think about purchasing a car cover and to start protecting your vehicle from the spring weather. After the winter months are gone comes the rainy season. It's nice not having to scrape the windows and clear the snow off your vehicle. At this time of year the one thing that is different is now there actually is more moisture than the winter. Why, because in the winter the moisture is frozen and there is less water to contend with therefore your car cover isn't as wet where as in the spring the vehicle covers are wet and stay that way until the sun can dry them out. The same car covers you use in the winter may not hold up as well to the wetness if they have been around for a few years. The seams may begin to leak and if the cover is quite old you may find that the waterproofing isn't working as well.

If you have been using your car cover this winter you may want to take a close look at it to see how well it's holding up. Check the seams to see if they are frayed or coming apart. One way to check you cover to see how well it is protecting your vehicle is to put the cover on and take your garden hose and spray it like it was raining and see if any water is passing through the cover onto your vehicle or after you place the cover on your vehicle check all the seams for problems.
Now is a good time to check and replace your cover if it needs it. Soon the rains will be here and you will be ready for them. Nothing can cause more damage to your vehicle than rusting and blisters on your the finish. So, don't wait till the storms are here, an ounce of prevention is worth not needing a new paint job.

So far we have talked about the winter conditions of the Northern and Eastern part of the country. There are also the Southern and Western portions of the country to think about. The Northwest does get the winter conditions like the Eastern part of the US but they also get a lot of ice and rain during the winter months where the Southern part of the US gets rain and sun, and lot's of it. So even if you are in the Southern part of this country you also should be checking your vehicle covers to see how they have held up this winter because the sun is going to be hotter and the rain will be more intense. Time to put the cover on and stop to to check it out for weak spots or seams that are showing wear and tear. If you see any of the things I have talked about your should think about replacing your car cover before you vehicle suffers damage from the sun and rain. One thing is if your cover seams are coming apart check your warranty to see if you are still covered, seams are one of the covered items in your warranty, so you should contact your supplier and get the cover replaced.

I always check my vehicle covers every season to make sure they are doing what I bought them for and that is to protect my investment. With the economy today the cost of replacing your vehicle is not the best thing. What you have invested in your vehicle you want to preserve until you will either trade it in or sell it outright. And to get the best return you should try your best to protect your investment. Covering your vehicles is just one good way to keep it's value.

You Must Have A Car Cover


As the title says, everybody needs car covers. If you look at the price of cars today you will want to keep the car you have in the best shape you can. To help you do this you should use a car cover because it will not only protect your exterior it will protect your interior as well.
This article also can be interpreted to mean you should cover all your vehicles, your cars, SUV's, trucks, vans, atv's, snowmobiles, watercraft and more. If you plan to have your vehicle for a long time or plan to sell it in the future it is in your best interest it keep it looking like new, that way you will get the most money when you either sell it or trade it in on something new.

The cover will help keep your exterior in top shape by protecting your vehicle from all that mother nature can throw at it, like acid rain, hail storms, wind storms, winter storms including those ice storms that will put your exterior to the test. It will also protect your vehicle from things like sap from the trees you park under, the bird droppings from our feathered friends that contain strong acids that can hurt your clear coat, the kids in your neighborhood that play in the street and can rub, scratch, dent and sit on your car because kids are kids. It can also protect your vehicle from all those little things like when you take the trash out and it's hard to get by your car in the garage, or when you are cutting the lawn and the handle scratches the car as you go by, not to mention the dings, scratches and marks that you have no answer for that just show up the next time you wash the car. All these things can happen to your car or any other vehicle you have.

The next thing that your car cover can do is to protect it's value by stopping the sun from causing the dash to crack, dry out, fade and just fall apart. Also, the seats will keep their soft and vibrant look, as well as keep all the plastic in your car like new. There are many more things a cover can help you with like keeping your interior cooler in the summer or keeping all your accessories and belongings safe from prying eyes like the new stereo, CD's and more. All this will help to keep your vehicles value up when you sell or trade. Covers for your vehicles can be used with a cable lock that will not only help keep your cover on in the wind but also stop your cover from being stolen.

All in all in my opinion every vehicle needs a cover to keep its value and to protect it from the many hazards the world will throw at it. Yes each type of vehicle has different types of hazards to deal with but I still think a cover will be it's best defense to help hold it's value. In today's world economy all of us can't afford to be loose with our money. So for the price of a cover you will get back many times it's value.

How To Buy The Right Car Cover








In today's market you need to find the right car cover for the right price. When looking for a vehicle cover you should start with the Internet. The world wide web has many car cover sites to choose from. The most important point about selecting the right cover is, where you will be using this cover, in the cold and wet or in the dry and hot weather, inside in your garage or outside in the weather. Vehicle covers come in all kinds of styles, colors and makes. When you need a cover to protect your vehicle from the snow and rain, you should look for a waterproof cover that will stop the moisture from getting to your vehicle. All these covers are also treated with a UV block to help them last longer in the sun. There are covers out there that are only water repellent and will not stop the water from getting to your vehicle finish. This can cause damage to your vehicles paint and also cause rust to get started under your paint causing body cancer to start eating away at your vehicle. The waterproof covers also let moisture wick away from under the cover when condensation forms in certain weather conditions. You will sometimes find that your cover is frozen to your paint and won't let you remove it. In this case you should us warm water and pour it over the cover till it comes off easily. This condition doesn't happen very often but when it dose don't try to pull the cover off or you will damage the cover.

The covers that are water repellent not waterproof have their use also. If you are living in an area of the country that only receives lite rain and some condensation in the AM this cover could work well for you. All of these vehicle covers are treated with UV block to help them last longer in the sun. They will keep your vehicle safe from the dust, dirt and tree sap as well as bird droppings and scratches. Your vehicle is vulnerable when left out in the street or in your driveway so why not protect it.

There are car covers that are made to withstand lots of sun and will also keep your vehicle cool and dry. These covers are made from Tyvek. This material will stand up to the harsh sun of the Southwest, also the Hawaiian Islands. This Tyvek material is used in the construction industries to protect buildings from wind, rain and dirt. It is used to wrap a home or building in the construction phase, I'm sure you have seen it, it is white and very durable.

There are covers to protect your vehicle from dust, like in your garage or under a carport. These covers are made of two layers, are UV treated and are water repellent. They are great for the inside storage of a vehicle. They can be used outside as well but only for short periods of time.

There are custom and semi custom covers, the custom covers come in lots of colors and have mirror pockets. I find that the semi custom covers are just as good and the only thing you give up is the large color selection and mirror pockets. The semi custom covers come in all sizes to fit your vehicles and some colors to choose from, yes they don't have mirror pockets, but they are just as good and also carry great warranties.

After you have chosen which cover you need then you will have to find a good price. When looking in the Internet for car covers you should check on there shipping polices and there return policies also. Make sure you give them a call to check on your size, if you order the wrong size and have to return it most company's charge for shipping on the exchange. So have them tell you what size to get and that will make them liable for the exchange cost if it is wrong.

There are many vehicle cover companies out there and if you need information on there covers and polices just give them a call they will be happy to help you with your questions.

The Many Types Of Car Covers










There are many types of car covers, If you are looking for a car or vehicle cover and are not sure what type of cover will fit your needs, here is some information on the wide verity of covers on the market today. I think that this information will be very helpful for those wishing to purchase a car or vehicle cover.

The first type of cover that is used inside or under cover such as a carport is the one layer dust cover. This cover can help stop dust from collecting on your vehicle, it also can be used outdoors but is not recommend for long-term outdoor use. The one layer cover is great for protecting your vehicles from dust, scratches, UV rays, and is water resistant. If you are looking to store your car or other vehicle inside the garage or under the carport this cover will work well for you.

The next choice in covers are the three layer covers that range from water resistant to waterproof depending on the type of material use during manufacturing. The light weight cover that is water resistant is used mostly in the Southwest were there is little rain and you want a cover that will stand up to the sun and still protect your car or vehicle if it rains. This cover has been treated with a UV treatment and can be used outdoors or indoors. This cover has lifetime of maybe 2 - 3 years depending on use and proper care.

The next three layer cover available has been manufactured to be waterproof and can stand up to the sun as well. They us a special type of material in its construction that stops water from penetrating but at the same time allows moisture to wick away from under the cover. When condensation is trapped under the cover this cover will allow it to breath and stay dry so the moisture will not be trapped causing damage to your car or vehicle finish. There are three types of waterproof covers and they range from the low cost to the high end cover. They do this for the consumer, that way they have a choice depending on their budget. The low end cover will last about 2 -3 years depending on use and upkeep. The top end cover can last from 3- 10 years also depending on use and upkeep of the cover. When you are shopping for these cover be sure to check out the warranties.

Then there is also a cover that is made just to handle the sun yet is water resistant. This cover is made of a material that DuPont uses in the construction of homes and buildings alike. It is used as wind and moisture barrier and will stand up to the sun better then any other cover on the market today. The material is called Tyvek by DuPont Corp. The cover industry has been using this material for some time now and has been recognized as the best UV protection in a car or vehicle cover. The color is white which is outstanding for reflecting the sun's rays and also keeping your vehicle cool during the summer months. This cover can be a little pricey but is well worth the cost to protect your vehicles from the UV rays of the Southwest and the islands of Hawaii.

Then there are the top of the line covers which have four layers. The four layer has all the waterproofing and sun protection of the three layer, but also comes with a fleece lining to help protect your car or vehicle finish. They are made of top of the line materials and have been treated with extra waterproofing and UV protection. This cover can come with a life time warranty. Yes you will pay for this but if you are looking to have this cover for a long time and want the best for your vehicles this is the best way to go.
