Fantastic Reasons to Buy a Semi-Custom Car Cover

You have invested hard-earned money in your new car so you want to look after it and keep it looking new. You need to protect it and there is no better and cost effective way than getting a semi-custom made car cover.

Semi-custom made car covers fit perfectly, are easy to fit and even easier to remove. They fold up small and can be stored in a garage or even in the trunk so it is always to hand when travelling.

Consider all the things that can damage or make your car dirty while it is parked?

You could have just cleaned and polished your car – then it rains. If your car is on a road then passing cars and trucks will cover it in dirty water!

A car cover protects the car – only the cover gets dirty.

You might have to park your car under a tree and trees produce sap which is like glue and will severely damage the paintwork if not removed quickly. The sun will try the tree sap making it very difficult to get off and may leave a mark on the paint.

Birds love trees and bird droppings have lime in them which makes them highly corrosive and if not removed before it dries, they will eat into the paint. As with tree sap, it can be difficult to remove once dry and can leave a mark on the paintwork. Always use special liquids developed to remove tree sap or bird droppings. Polishing your car regularly will also make it easier to remove these things as the highly polished surface will mean they cannot stick well. The best advice is to get a semi-custom made car cover. This will protect your car and ensure that when you next need it, it is clean.

The snow can have a devastating effect on a car over time as the frozen snow can eat into paintwork and introduce water to areas of the car for prolonged periods of time, increasing the risk of corrosion. Where there is snow, there is also usually salt on the roads, which is also highly corrosive. Always wash down your car when you have used it in snow to remove the salt and never put on your car cover until this has been done. Your car cover will protect your car during snowy weather and means that when removed you will not have to remove snow and ice before driving.

High humidity can damage a car and again, a car cover can help but ensure you use a car cover that will let air circulate. Damp conditions can produce mold inside the car which is difficult to clean and leaves a nasty smell. Buying a semi-custom made car cover will ensure that it fits your car well with good air circulation.

The sun’s rays are very damaging to paintwork and the interior, both the paint job and the interior fabrics will fade with prolonged exposure. The sun will bleach areas over time and the paintwork gets very hot, particularly dark colored cars. The interior will bake inside the car as well, and high temperatures will affect everything inside the car, including fittings and of course, your comfortable enjoyment of the car itself when you come to get into it. You can get semi-custom made car covers that reflect the sun’s rays. This keeps the car at a lower temperature both outside and in. So when you want to drive your car, it will be much cooler and pleasant.

Take a while to select the car cover suitable for you. Think about the type of weather you have. Consider where the car is most likely to be parked. Get the best you can afford. Buying a car cover not semi-custom made for your car will not provide the protection. It will not fit correctly, will be difficult to put on and off.

A semi-custom car cover may be a bit more expensive but it will be worth it.
