Better (or Best) Car Cover

[monty_GTV]

i don't use car covers, lalong nagagasgas at nagkaka swirls kapag may car cover...

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.

^ 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.
