Car Covers Research Guide

Just as we do not buy a car without first carrying out a research, we do not look for a car cover every week or month as well. But whenever we do so, there is no harm in doing some research on the topic as this may help us locate the best car cover at an affordable price. Now, there are two ways of delving deep into it - one way is to leave it to Coverking as the company is the leading maker of car covers and would do the needful while the other is to follow the guidelines.

What is a Custom-fit or Custom car cover and why it is the best?
A Custom-fit or Custom car cover is specially made for each car (model, size, year of manufacture) after checking its length, width, dimensions, ground clearance, etc that is obtained from the car maker and then feeding the data into a computer and utilizing CAD/CAM process.

The fact is that a Custom car cover made for a Chevrolet Optra Magnum will never fit a Porsche Cayman or a Mercedes Benz Estate, no matter how hard you may try it. It is more or less like a well tailored suit that has been made for you that will never fit your uncle. Then again, Custom car covers are made from time tested fabrics that are specially manufactured for the purpose.

Contrary to them, universal car covers are available everywhere but are hardly chosen by discriminating buyers because they neither fit well nor reflect the fine workmanship that custom covers provide. For easy perception, the custom car cover is your business suit and the universal car cover is your nightgown. Besides, that custom covers provide positive protection from sun and rain, natural and artificial hazards like bird droppings and UV radiation, dents, dings and scratches that spoils the bodyline of a car overnight and car thieves.

Guidelines for the selection of car covers that fights the weather.
A that custom cover is not only a product of excellent workmanship, it is also crafted from super quality fabrics that are specially manufactured for use in car covers. It has to provide protection against rain that sure affects the paint of the costliest cars and if left uncared for extended period of time, may give rise to rust, the biggest enemy of any vehicle. Coverking car covers not only blocks entry of water, they are also 'breathable' allowing moisture trapped under the cover to vaporize, leaving the vehicle totally dry. A car protected by Coverking that custom cover and inadvertently left on an island in the Pacific Ocean for a month may be found totally dry and in superb working condition by the owner.

A custom Coverking car cover has to protect the car or the SUV against sunrays and the intense solar heat. Besides, they are specially treated to withstand harmful UV radiation that comes along with the sunrays. Studies have shown that a car parked under the strong Arizona sun with a Coverking car cover registered comparatively lower temperature as against one that did not have the cover.

A custom Coverking car cover's duty hasn't finished yet. It has to protect the car from the harsh winter as well. The snow and sleet and light hails can do enough damage to the car or the SUV while the salt along with the moisture can corrode and spoil the paint. There are specialty Coverking car covers to fight the fury of severe winters.

Items that require checking while buying a car cover.

When out in the market looking for car cover, please check the following…

• Is it Custom-fit? Because if it is not that, it will be a waste of your good money because Universal or Ready-fit car covers neither provide second class protection to the car or the SUV nor do they fit correctly to render quality service.
• Is it water-resistant and 'Breathable'? If it is not that, your car will be hard hit by rains, snow, sleet as also from acid rain which could damage your vehicle permanently.
• Does it have a high absorption factor? If yes, then do not go for it, as a material with high absorption factor will prove difficult in keeping the vehicle dry. Coverking's car covers have an absorption factor of 2% and so they dry up soon.
