Custom Car Covers a Plus or Not









There has always been a argument about whether or not the custom car cover a better buy than a semi custom car cover. Well hopefully today we will get to the bottom of this subject. There are many vehicle cover manufactures making custom covers today. They make them custom to your year, make and model of your vehicle or you can ask for custom covers made to your dimensions. This process ends up with a cover that fits your vehicle form and also has mirror pockets. These covers come in a wide variety of colors and materials that can have your custom logo also. The one thing that is a given is you will pay top dollar for these covers. There are pluses to having a custom cover made for you like the fit, these covers will fit to the form of your vehicle this does cut down on rubbing your finish in the weather on windy or stormy days. Having mirror pockets also keeps the cover form fitted to your vehicle. Then there is color and material choices. The color choice is important as to the sun's rays being reflected or absorbed. This is the UV factor when you have a light color the UV rays will be reflected away from the cover and it will last longer and keep it cooler in the hot climates. When you choose a dark color the sun's rays will be absorbed and the UV ray's will break down the material quicker and the vehicle will collect the heat in hot weather. Some of the negatives are the cost, the custom cover will cost you as much as three times as a semi custom cover. The custom cover is a tight fitting cover and when it comes to putting it on and off you will spend a lot more time doing this and those mirror pockets can be a pain in the butt. When you are ordering a custom cover the sales person or web site will try to sell you as much extras as they can this will drive the price up and even if money is no option you still will feel this in your pocket book. There are many options to choose from like logos, storage bags, stitching color, inserts, multiple color covers, treatments like UV or Waterproofing. All these extras will cost more and more. So buyer beware you can spend a lot of money on a custom cover that has warranties the same as semi covers or even shorter.

The semi custom covers, this won't take long because they are made with the customer in mind. When you are looking for a semi custom cover the manufacturer has made them easy to buy. The covers are made to fit more then one vehicle and with out a lot of fancy stuff to think about. They come in only a few colors to choose from and they come with their own storage bag. They have a good choice of materials to choose from. The covers come with water and UV treatments at no extra cost. The cost is right on the mark. When you are looking for one of the semi custom covers the best place to get one is on the Internet. There are many great sites to choose from and they offer good information and e-mail or phone help if you need it. It is easy to find your cover for your vehicle as most of the sites have a sizing system where you simply input your year, make, and model and a selection of covers in different color and material are there to choose from. If the site doesn't have this system they will have a sizing chart you can look up your vehicle on or all you need to do is measure the length of your vehicle and look for that cover size on the site. If you still need help just call or e-mail them and they will be happy to help. All the semi covers come with elastic on the front and back hem to adjust to a good fit for your vehicle, and they come with tie down grommets to us with a cable lock for security or just to help keep it snug and prevent the wind from getting under the cover causing billowing or loss of cover. When it comes to putting the cover on and off not being as much of a tight fit will make it a lot quicker and your won't have to fight with the mirror pockets. Bottom line the semi custom covers have great warranties, ease of selection and won't put a dent in your pocket book.

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.

Hot Weather And Car Covers










If you are looking for a vehicle cover that can stand up against the sun, the the tyvek cover is the cover you are looking for. This cover reflects the suns UV rays with its white color and reduces heat build up in the vehicle. The tyvek cover has been on the market for years and is used in all kinds of outdoor covers, from cars, RV, boats and more you will see this cover doing its job. The material used to make the tyvek cover comes from Dupont and is used by contractors to protect your homes, and to make HAZMAT suits to protect the people how us them. This material is fast drying and mold and mildew resistant.

There is a location that this cover is used more than anywhere else. The Southern part of the US. The reason is the sun and heat that this part of the country gets every summer. The suns UV rays will cause damage to anything left outside. When you cover a vehicle outside in the sun you best use tyvek covers to protect it. It will outlast any other cover made today. 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.

The good things about tyvek covers: its light weight and easy to store, doesn't take up much space, it is the best protection from the sun, you can find this cover for just about any vehicle, boats, RVs and more, the cost is low and it's white to reflect the sun and heat. So over all this cover gets my high rating. So the next time you are looking for a cover to protect your investments try a tyvek cover you will be glad you did.

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.

Where And How To Buy A Car Cover











Finding Covers for your vehicles isn't very hard, there are auto part stores, retail stores like WalMart and also the Internet. In most auto part stores like Auto Zone they carrier a line of covers, but they are limited to the shelving they have available, so you will not have a large selection to choose from. There will only be a few of the most common car covers, truck covers, motorcycle covers and maybe van, station wagon and so on. You will be able to order the cover you need from the counter and that will take some time to get there. You might have to pay the shipping for the cover. There are retail stores that sell vehicle covers but once again they are limited to space and choice. In most retail stores you will find a limited selection of covers and you won't be able to order the cover you need. In both the auto parts and retail store you will find high pricing on these covers.

When you buy a cover from the auto parts store they won't be as helpful in answering your questions as to sizing and which cover would work best in your area. The only information you will find is whats on the box of the cover they are selling. This makes it a crap shoot and you may have to deal with returns and just excepting the cover as is. Most of the counter help will not have a good knowledge of the covers they are selling, so you won't be able to get much information from them.

Another thing to note, retail stores won't be very helpful as to sizing and choice of cover for your area. If you try to ask a floor person about the covers they will only to able to tell you where they are. You will only be able to get information off the box the cover is in and that is very limited. Most of the covers sold in both the parts and retail stores have either websites or phone numbers on there merchandise so you can call to find out more about their covers, but if you are there in the store that won't be much help at that moment. So, there you are stuck with a decision as to what to do, take a chance and choose one that may or may not work for your vehicle.

Then there is the Internet, the one and only place you can find everything you need to know about vehicle covers of all kinds. If you don't have a computer just use a friends or go to your local library and they will have computers you can access. Once you have access to the Internet you will be able to find any and everything about vehicle covers you ever wanted to know. To get things started in the search box type in what you are looking for like car covers or truck covers and hit enter this will give you about 20 t0 40 hundred thousand sites to choose from don't panic you really only need to check out the first 3 to 5 pages to find what you need to know about vehicle covers. There will be sites that sell covers and there will be sites that will explain about covers in every way you can think of. If for some reason you don't see what you are looking for just type a question in the search box and hit enter, this will direct you to more information on the subject about you are looking for. The really nice thing about the Internet is you can ask questions of the car cover site you are looking at, just by going to their contact page and submitting it there or you can call them toll free and get the question answered quickly right on the spot. Even if you have never used a computer before give it a try you will find that the Internet has become vary user friendly and if you need some help most of your friends or the Liberian will be able to help you find what you need.

So in my opinion the best place to find and buy vehicle covers for your cars, trucks, SUV's, vans, station wagons and more is the world wide web it is truly the information highway and is the quickest and most reliable source of shopping today.

There also many blogs and article sites that can give you information concerning the buying, application, care, directions and just about anything you would want to know about vehicle covers. In this article I will give you the good and bad things about vehicle covers.

Lets start with the pros of having a car cover, when you have a cover for you vehicle you will be protecting the car or other vehicle from loss of value. The many nice things about car covers are in the winter you won't need to scrape your windows or push the show off your car when you get up in the morning to go to your job. The cover will save your interior from sun damage like fading, cracking of your dash, and loss of value. There are many more pros the covers have, like in the rain stopping moisture from damaging your finish on your car, or keeping your vehicle safe from damage when you park it in your garage in the driveway or on the street. The covers come in many different styles, colors and material to give you choices and uses you may have. When you are in the process of selecting your cover your need to look for a cover that will be good in the climates and conditions you will be using it in. There are many places to purchases your cover from, like retail stores, Internet web sites, Ebay and more. So do your research and make sure you get the car cover or vehicle cover that will benefit your vehicle the best.

Now for the cons of car covers, there are a few of them and they come from mostly making the wrong choice. First that comes to mind is buying the wrong cover for your vehicle, like size and material choice. If you buy the wrong size cover for your car or vehicle this can damage the finish and can come off in windy conditions, If the cover is to big it can rub on your vehicles finish in windy conditions and damage it. Also if the cover is to big it will be hard to keep on your vehicle in windy conditions. Next if you select the wrong material it may not protect your vehicle from all that mother nature will throw at it like sun, rain, wind, bird droppings, scratches, dings, dirt and more. Always research what material you will need for your weather conditions and the location you will be using it. Then there is the Internet always check the web site you are going to make your cover purchase from this will make the process of return and exchange easier also check there warranty polices out to cover your butt. If you don't check out the site you are going to use you might find out down the road that they won't give you the best customer service.

The more you will learn about car covers and other vehicle covers the more you will realize the benefits they offer. You will never regret the purchase of a car cover and will only reap the benefits when you go to sell or trade your vehicle in.

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.

Knowing Which Car Cover To Buy

There is more to buying a car cover then most people think. In this article you will learn how to select the right car cover for your vehicle. I will explain the three most important things to think about when buying a car cover. I will also show you how to find the best deals on the internet and how to make sure you won't be taken to the cleaners.

The first think we will talk about is how to choose the right cover for where you live or where you will be storing your car or vehicle. The choice of cover is affected by a couple things like what part of the country you live in because the weather plays a part in this. If you are in the Northeast, the Northern Midwest or Northwest part of USA then you will need a cover that can stand up to everything mother nature can throw at it. The car cover industry makes a cover just for this climate, they are waterproof and have three to four layers to help stay on your vehicle better when the weather gets wild. These covers have tie down grommets that you can use a cable lock or bungee cord to help keep your cover from theft and wind. If you live in the Southeast, Midwest or Southwest you will have a couple different types of covers to choose from. In the Southeast the weather climate can be very wet or dry with lots of sun. There are covers for both of these conditions. The White Tyvek cover is great for the sun and also can keep the rain out. The three layer waterproof cover will work well in the wetter Southern states.

The next factor to look at is where you will be parking the car or vehicle, in the garage, in the driveway, under a carport, on the street. If you are parking or storing your car or vehicle in the garage the light weight dust covers will work for this. If you are parking you car under a carport you can use the light weight covers but I would suggest the Tyvek or waterproof covers for this because the vehicle will be exposed to the outside weather. The rain and wind will play a part in this protection. Now having your car parked outside in the driveway or on the street you will need a cover that will protect you from all the weather conditions. The waterproof covers for the wet climates or the Tyvek for the dry and high sun exposure.

The next factor is where the covers come from and the brands of the covers they make. There are more then a few countries that make covers, I went online to see how many makers there are and this is a list of what I found: USA, Canada, Taiwan, China and I'm sure there are more. I would like to comment about Brands so I will say this the covers that are made in the USA tend to have better warranties and the covers that are made outside of USA have other things to offer like free cable locks, storage bags and good warranties but just not as good USA.

Now comes the subject of ordering the cover from the right company and making sure you get what you have ordered. The first thing is to make sure you check out the company you want to order from, like what are there shipping policies do they have a return policy that you will be OK with. Is there any complaints online about them. Do they have any testimonials that back up there policies. Then make sure you use a credit card, in doing this you will be protect from any unsatisfactory transactions. PayPal also will protect your transactions for up to 30 days. In doing this you will get the cover you need and have a very pleasant experience buying your car or vehicle cover.

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.

Car Covers After The Hoildays

Well the holidays are here and will soon be over, If you were lucky and received a vehicle cover as a gift, the first thing you will want to do is try it on your car or other vehicle. If you need to return the cover, our company and other company's require it must be clean and include all the paper work that was sent with it. So, before you run out to put your new cover on your vehicle, please take the time to wash it and then when it is dry try the cover on for size. Then once you have the cover on the vehicle check to see if it fits correctly. Make sure the cover fits the vehicle from front to back without being too loose and covers from the bottom of the frame up.

There are many types of covers out there from custom to one size fits all. If you received a custom cover it will have mirror pockets for the mirrors and fit the car or other vehicle like a glove, if it does not fit like a glove then you didn't get the right cover for your vehicle. Once again make sure the vehicle is clean before you try it on. If there is a lot of loose material then you will want to check with the company you have purchased this cover from to make sure it is the right cover for your vehicle. A lot of companies like ours give you up to 30 days to return the cover clean and with all the paper work for a refund or exchange. Most times the company will not need your receipt for the cover to be refunded or exchanged, they will have the purchases on file and all you will need is the buyer name or your name if the buyer used your name as the ship to address.

Most covers today are semi custom covers and they don't have mirror pockets and will not fit like a glove, that's OK, the semi custom cover still does the same job as the custom cover. Once again before you try the new semi custom cover on your vehicle make sure it is clean and dry before you check the cover for size and fit. The cover will have elastic around the bottom in front and back and also have tie down holes in the middle so you can secure the cover in windy conditions. These tie down holes are also good for the use of a cover cable lock to keep people from taking your cover. This cover will not fit like a glove but at the same time shouldn't be so loose that the cover flaps in the wind. This will cause the cover to wear out quick and may damage your paint job by excessive rubbing.

There is one more thing that I would like to bring to your attention that is the antenna patch. Almost all covers come with an antenna patch, this patch will help the cover from coming apart when you make a hole for the antenna. To find the location for the antenna hole first place the antenna all the way down ore if it unscrews take it off, then put the cover on the vehicle (after you have washed it right?). Then find the place where the antenna will come through the cover and make a small hole. The smaller the hole the better, then take the antenna patch and press one on the inside of the cover and the other on the outside. This patch is a stick on, not an iron on, so don't try to iron this patch as you will melt the cover and damage it. The patches have a protective cover over the sticky part, you must peal the cover off and then stick the patch over the small hole. Then remove the cover and replace the antenna or leave the cover on and raise the antenna through the new hole with the patches in place.

I would like to say to all. I hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope you got all the things you asked for, and if Santa didn't bring you a vehicle cover this year. Then please come visit our website for more information and a large selection of covers and automotive accessories. www.ClickitCoverit.Com

Winter Car Covers


This time of year it is a good idea to cover your vehicle. The wet and cold weather can be very hard on your car or other vehicle. If you live in the Eastern part of the country your will receive many benefits from covering your vehicles. Likewise living in the Western part of the country you will also receive benefits from covering your vehicles. The weather can be hard on your vehicles in both parts of the country.

First we will talk about the Eastern part of the US, covering your vehicles can save you money and time. When you have a snow storm that covers your car it is hard to clear the snow and ice from your windows, and the doors may freeze shut making it a real job to get in your car and go to work or other destination. The window wipers sometimes stick to the windows and when you go to scrape then the wiper rips apart costing you money and time getting new wipers. If you cover your car with the Elite Car Cover made for the environment you live in you will not have to scrape your windows or try to thaw out the door locks to get in. You won't have to replace your wiper blades because they have ripped from sticking to the window due to the ice and snow. A vehicle cover will save you time and money.

Now living in the Western part of the country there are a lot of states that also receive snow this time of year. If you are in the lower states that are still getting the sun most of the time you will still want to cover your vehicle. Dealing with snow can cost you time and money like I said before. Living in the Western part of the country you will have more UV rays to hurt your car and other vehicles. The UV rays from the sun will damage your finish and dry out the interior of your vehicle. Things like plastic and cloth will dry out and start to crack and fall apart and your dash will fade and crack and this will hurt the of the vehicle when you go to sell it.

There is one thing that I would like to bring up; even in both parts of the country there is a cover that will help this time of year. This cover is the iCover or half cover. This cover is easy to install and take off and covers only the top part of your car or SUV. It has many uses in that it will keep the snow and ice off your windows, it will keep the suns UV rays out of the interior and keep your valuables out of sight keeping them safe from thieves. The new iCover has become the gift of choice this year in car covers. It has a price that keeps with the economy we are now dealing with. So if you are looking for a great gift for somebody you care about this year, this is the one.
