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.
