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.
