Even if you purchased it used, it\u2019s still something that you work hard to protect. Without a garage to shield your car from the outside elements and theft, you leave your vehicle out in the open, just waiting for something to happen. That\u2019s why considering using car covers is a vital decision if you want your investment to be worth as much as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>Vehicle Damage by the Numbers<\/h2>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240531003705\/http:\/\/www.rmiia.org\/catastrophes_and_statistics\/Hail.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RMIIA<\/a>, hail and wind storms account for nearly 40% of all injured losses to insurance companies. That staggering total means that insurance companies pay out about $15 billion each year to cover weather-related incidents to your home and car.<\/p>\n<h2>Protection for Your Car<\/h2>\n<p>A car cover is designed to offer maximum protection for your vehicle. It\u2019s an excellent alternative for anyone that doesn&#8217;t have access to park their car in a garage. Here are just a few of the reasons why people use them.<\/p>\n<h3>Weather Protection<\/h3>\n<p>As discussed earlier, hail does a number to a vehicle, but it\u2019s not the only weather protection you need. Even when the wind blows, dirt and pebbles may hit your car and damage the paint. While you might not see it at first, the damage is done. Debris leave behind small abrasions that wear down the paint job over time. What you are left with is a dull and worn out looking car.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2658 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Hail-damage-1.jpg\" alt=\"Damage caused by hail on a vehicle\" width=\"800\" height=\"516\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Hail-damage-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Hail-damage-1-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Hail-damage-1-768x495.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/516;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Sun Protection<\/h3>\n<p>The direct sunlight causes your car\u2019s interior to degrade. It also makes the car extremely hot and uncomfortable. No one wants to touch the steering wheel after it\u2019s been baking in the sun for some time. UV rays of the sun cause irreversible damage to the interior finish, plus the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/how-to-detail-your-car-the-proper-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exterior paint<\/a> will begin to fade. Even worse, the plastic dashboard might dry out and crack from the heat.<\/p>\n<h3>Protection Against Theft and Vandalism<\/h3>\n<p>Think about this \u2013 if a vandal comes across two cars: one is covered and one isn\u2019t. Which one do you think he is going to mess with first? That\u2019s right; the criminal isn\u2019t going to choose your car over something easier. First of all, they don\u2019t know what\u2019s underneath, so it might not be worth the risk to them.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also less likely that they will take the time to vandalize your vehicle simply because of the extra time it would take. By the time they get the cover off, people might notice and call the cops. That\u2019s a chance they aren\u2019t willing to take. A car cover also efficiently hides what&#8217;s inside your vehicle and makes it difficult for them to smash a window and grab something in a hurry.<\/p>\n<h3>Protection Against Animals<\/h3>\n<p>The weather and criminals aren\u2019t all you should think about \u2013 what about animals? Car covers protect against creatures \u2013 big and small. From the smallest insects that like to reproduce in the nooks and crannies of your vehicle to the birds who want to build a nest, car cover offers optimal protection.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2659 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cat-on-car-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cat sitting on a car\" width=\"649\" height=\"412\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cat-on-car-1.jpg 649w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cat-on-car-1-300x190.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 649px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 649\/412;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Aside from that, some animals may attempt to get into or on top of your car. A car cover will protect your paint from these scratches. Furthermore, if you park under a tree, what normally happens? You face a barrage of bird poop all over your car when you come back to it. Not with a car cover!<\/p>\n<h3>Indoor Protection<\/h3>\n<p>Even if you have a garage, there are reasons to use a car cover inside. First, it protects your car\u2019s paint from dust and pollen. It also keeps your vehicle safer from the items sitting around it. This is especially important if you frequently work inside your garage.<\/p>\n<p>Grinding, painting and sanding other objects around your car may damage your car&#8217;s paint job if it&#8217;s not properly protected. Moisture is also a concern which is why many people use breathable indoor covers for their vehicles. Finally, you want to think about your pets and the damage they can do to your car.<\/p>\n<h2>Materials of a Car Cover<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on if you choose an indoor or outdoor car cover, the construction will be different. The majority of indoor-use car covers are made using a cotton-based material. That\u2019s because water and UV protection aren\u2019t a must-have feature. These covers come in light laminated cotton or thicker flannel and woven designs.<\/p>\n<p>For an outdoor cover, you are probably going to choose a type of synthetic fabric. Products made of acrylic and polyester microfibers are soft and provide better UV protection plus water repellency. This option is heavier and does require that the cover have breathable properties to it.<\/p>\n<h2>Colors of Car Covers<\/h2>\n<p>Why do car covers come in different colors? Is this merely for style or is there a purpose? Surprisingly, there are significant advantages to choosing certain colors over another.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you live somewhere with a lot of sun, you might want a light-colored fabric to keep the car cool. On the other hand, if you live somewhere cool, you might prefer the darker material to encourage some extra warmth.<\/p>\n<h2>Aspects to Consider When Buying a Car Cover<\/h2>\n<p>There are several considerations you need to think about when choosing a car cover.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2660 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/garage-doors-1.jpg\" alt=\"Brown garage doors\" width=\"698\" height=\"395\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/garage-doors-1.jpg 698w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/garage-doors-1-300x170.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 698px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 698\/395;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Usage<\/h3>\n<p>You need to decide if you plan to use the cover indoors or outdoors. This significantly changes its purpose and helps you pick the right model.<\/p>\n<h3>Lightweight<\/h3>\n<p>You won\u2019t want anything too heavy unless you don\u2019t plan to take it off much. A lightweight design is easier to remove and fold plus storage is less cumbersome.<\/p>\n<h3>Breathability<\/h3>\n<p>You want the cover to dispel condensation from the heat that gets trapped between the fabric and your car. Many modern car covers offer free-flowing air designs that keep your vehicle protected.<\/p>\n<h3>Dust Blocking<\/h3>\n<p>Your vehicle\u2019s paint job can\u2019t withstand any amount of dust. Once it settles on the paint, you end up with the possibility of abrasions and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/how-to-repair-minor-scratches-on-your-cars-paint-to-make-it-look-like-new\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scratches<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Soft Liner<\/h3>\n<p>To keep scratches off the paint surface, you also want to consider a fabric with a soft inner liner. Premium car covers even come with silky linings that glide over your car\u2019s exterior for maximum protection.<\/p>\n<h3>Mildew resistant<\/h3>\n<p>Any time moisture is allowed to collect on the interior of the car cover, you face mildew. Many car covers are now treated with inhibitors that prevent mold from forming in the first place.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>If you want the maximum protection for your car, it makes sense to have a cover. Just be sure you get one that\u2019s designed to fit the purposes you have in mind. With a little extra work, you can keep your vehicle safe from harm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your car might be one of your more expensive possessions.
