Better (or Best) Car Cover

[StockEngine]

Everytime you use the car cover, car has to be washed. 😊

That's a good reminder before using the cover. How about when buying one?

[StockEngine]

Dont buy one. Sunshade(reflective) to protect the dash if vehicle is parked outdoors. Monthly wax

Are car covers that bad? My father's concern is rain will make the color fade much faster. Another is to avoid passersby in accidentally scratching the car

There are 3 types of car covers.

Type 1 is made of light material. Weighs 2-3 kg. Water-resistant only. Good for protection against sun, dust, dirt, light rain shower. If heavy rain or continuous rain more than 1 hour, water will still pass through.

Type 2 is same material of Type 1 but with added cotton or fiber layer underneath. Weights 3-4 kg. Also water-resistant only.

Type 3 is made of thick material. Weighs 5-6+ kg. This is waterproof but really heavy.

You need a covered garage not a car cover

anong brand ba ang pinaka- ok na car cover?

almost 2 months na di ko na gaano nagagamit oto ko. (dahil sa traffic, balik ako sa underbone ko).

wala pa kasi bubong yung parking ko, open sya sa init ng araw (facing NW) at sa alikabok mula sa main road. araw araw ko nagche-check sa hood at roof, minsan may dumi ng ibon.

ang pinagpipilian ko ay yung "deflector" brand. Yung kapitbahay ko na araw-araw naka cover "concorde" naman ang tatak. nung bibili na sana ako kahapon sa handyman- yung "sportech" naman ang sina suggest nung saleslady..

hindi ko muna binili, sabi ko iresearch ko muna feedback nya.

Ok na sa kin un autoform. Read several thread and heard many advices against having one pero kawawa un auto ko against leaves plus un pollen ata un? Lagi pa sinasampahan ng pusa. Sarap sana kung me sarili garage eh. Sa mga walang choice like me need talaga un cover.

^ sa ngayon, almost 1 month since last post ko.... hindi pa ko nakakabili... haha..

Baka unahin ko pa bumili ng TACS para sa motor ko. Lagi kasi nililipat sa parking ng ofis bldg namin pag uwi ko.

I've tried a lot of brands... autoform, concorde, deflector at sportech.. lahat nasira after 1 year.. i guess it will last long pag indoor use pero pag outdoor, swerte pag umabot ng 1 year. Rule pa din syempre to clean your car before putting your car cover pero ako wax every month. I mainly use my car cover for bird droppings and doggies pati stray cats:p

I conclude walang matibay na car cover sa weather dito sa pinas ipunin ang budget at magpagawa ng covered garage or tent if possible. As for me I'd go for autoform medyo mura compare sa iba, same lang naman ng lifespan

Nagpagawa na lang ako ng maruyama tent, pero problema pa rin ang alikabok kahit everyday ako gumamit ng Microtex duster.

Hindi kasi everyday nagagamit yung car, kailangan ko pa rin bang mag car cover para sa alikabok?

at least, kapag sa tent ay mas madaling linisin ang kotse kaysa kulambo (car cover).
kami nga, garahe na... na-a-alikabukan pa rin.

[kagalingan]

Ang main reason ng car cover dito pinas eh yung grabeng init pag walang bubung garahe. Pag sa mall open parking yari ka tostado steam pag pasok kotse.

Pag yun bahay nyo walang bubung parking naisip ko eh do it yourself manual/electronic retractable awnings/roof. Ito suggets ko para gamitin lang pag mainit panahon. Hindi nakakasira ng chi/aura/harmony at maarawan pa mga tanim/garden.

Maganda meron makagawa na sturdy light material na hindi kamahalan. (not really ito sa photo kasi super mahal, just an idea lang)
