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.

Car Covers And The Summer Sun

Car covers are made to protect your car all year around but at this time of the year it is even more important then ever to have your car covered. The sun can cause more damage to your car than you may think. Your car's paint is under constant attack by the sun's UV rays, industrial fallout, acid rain. Left unprotected your car's paint will suffer irreversible damage. Not only is the paint in danger your interior is under attack from the heat the sun generates. On a mild 73°F day, the temperature inside a car can reach 120°F in 30 minutes. On a 90°F day, the interior can reach 160°F in minutes. This will cause your dash and other materials to dry out and crack, also any plastics may melt, like your CD'S or DVD's. Having a car cover can protect your vehicle from this and a lot more.

There are many types of car covers on the market today but one cover will help you protect your vehicle better then any other cover form UV rays. This cover is the Tyvek cover made from a white material that not only reflects the sun but is also water resistant. 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.

There are many types of protection to protect your interior like window shades that will help keep the sun off your interior, these are good but usually only cover the front windshield and that means that the sun still can damage other parts of your interior, this also allows the temperatures to clime in your interior damaging all your plastic items. With a car cover you will be protecting the hole interior from the sun's rays also helping to keep temperatures down protecting any items in your car and making it nicer when you need to get in and go somewhere. The overall protection that a car cover provides is well worth the price. It will help you keep the value of your car and you will spend less time washing your exterior and conditioning your interior from the sun's drying and heat damage.

The one thing I can think of that may be a drawback to this cover is the fact that this cover is only one layer thick and is vary light weight. In windy conditions it may be hard to keep it on your car or other vehicle, yes this cover does come with two tie down grommets in the middle of the cover to help keep it in place with a cable lock or bungee cords to help secure it.
So if you live were the wind is strong and blowing all the time you might want to buy a three or four layer cover to help keep it in place. These covers are also UV protected and ether water resistant or waterproof, they also come with tie down grommets to secure it from the wind and the extra weight of these covers will keep them in place. Having a cover on your vehicles will be a benefit to you and your vehicles.

Car Covers Custom Or Semi Custom ?

The question is are custom covers better then the semi custom covers. The custom cover makers claim that a custom cover is a better product and to some extent that is true. When you buy a custom cover you can ask for a lot of extras that will also cost you more. This will take longer to receive it at your door. Yes there is a bigger selection on options with custom covers like mirror pockets, logos, colors and material choice. If you think that mirror pockets are cool well I have talked to many people that have told me how they are a pain when covering and uncovering there vehicle. They have also told me how that it is the first place the cover wears out. Yes the cover looks better with mirror pockets but are they worth the hassle? A semi custom cover fits right over the mirrors and will not take additional time to get put on. Even if you have a truck with large mirrors the semi custom cover will adapt to them were the custom cover will not. If you were to change you mirrors after you bought the custom cover it will no longer fit your vehicle. So in my opinion the semi custom covers are better because the are without mirror pockets.

Logo's are a nice touch for your car cover, things manufacturer logo's, even sport logo's, there all types of logo's to make your vehicle reflect how you are. When you buy a semi custom cover most retailers don't offer logo's but you can have it done for yourself at any alteration shop that does that kind of work and the cost is minimal. So it may be nice to have your custom cover with the logo but this will also slow down the delivery time. If you would like a logo on your semi custom cover you can have it and you will receive the cover a lot sooner.

Colors are a nice touch and that is one thing the custom cover can offer to you. Most of the semi custom retailers only offer a few colors. If this is a high point then you will pay a bigger price for this were as the semi custom cover will not come with the higher price due to color.

Material choice is something you will have to decide and it can make a lot of difference as to how the cover will preform and also protect your vehicle. The custom covers come in a lot of material choices from interior dust covers to show covers and of course exterior covers. They will have a bigger selection of material types to pick from and this will make it a harder choice for you. The semi custom covers will only offer you the material choices you need to properly protect your vehicle, a light weight material for interior use, the three layer covers for exterior exposure like sun, rain, snow and ice. The four layer cover that provides all the protection of the three layer covers plus a interior lining of fleece to help protect your clear coat finish on your new or repainted vehicles. This extra protection is a must to keep your finish looking new for an extended amount of time. This makes buying a semi custom cover a much easier choice overall and you will be receiving your cover much sooner then a custom cover.

As a web retail seller of semi custom covers for all vehicle applications I find that my customers are happier with their choice and can cover the vehicles in a couple of days not weeks waiting for the custom cover to arrive. My website offers all the customer care that the custom cover sites offer and the warranties are even better and the return and exchange is better. When you order a custom cover if there is anything wrong with the cover it is harder to return and exchange because it has been made custom for you and your vehicle. The warranties are short and won't cover all the things the semi custom cover warranty covers.

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.

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.
