Better (or Best) Car Cover

[sneaky41]

i don't have a garage and park my car in our street. i am not allowed to put a tent coz all cars parked in the street are in the other side of our house. i bought a car cover for outdoors but one day some marks appeared on my car's roof, hood and trunk and can only remove them by applying wax every week.

:help!: may i please ask for any suggestions like a brand or type of Car Cover that will not leave marks on my car.

I was just shopping for a car cover today..i browsed online and just discovered that there are several kinds.
1. indoor - repels dust
2. outdoor
a. water repellant - repels water but is not really water resistant, cheap, good if you you just want to protect your car from sun rays and dust
b. water resistant - better but more expensive than 2.a
c. snow/water/ice resistant - the best one you can buy and is the one i need

Of course, every brand has their "models" but i'd suggest to get something that is outdoor-rated.

Mmm... you'll have to consider the following:

- when putting on the car cover you'll have to make sure that your car isn't dusty or else it will leave fine scratches on your car.
- If its only water resistant, it wouldn't be good enough here cuz you know when it rains here it really pours so water will eventually seep in, and may cause stains.
- Why not detail your car at least once a year and wax regularly. Thats what I did with my ride before, and it was parked outside. Still looks good.

i do dust off my car before i put the cover. i have to cover my car even during the day esp on a weekends -this is to discourage people on sitting on the hood of parked cars.

how much ba is detailing? my drive is a honda city 2000, white.
how often do i need to wax my car?
will a waterproof car cover help?

i think all car covers are used for outdoor. i park along the main road, halos bangketa na ng JP Rizal makati, ok naman protection ng kobe car cover. pero may lulusot din na dust at pag malakas ulan medyo tatagos. what i do is put some cloth underneath the car cover.

hindi ba nag mamarka sa roof mo or hood kapag nag rain at night and you wake up medyo mataas na araw?

Well you have to PM theveed on that. AFAIK its around 1700+/- exterior detailing.

how often do i need to wax my car?

Once a month should be enough.

will a waterproof car cover help?

It would. But where will you find one locally?

[theveed]

Your safest and best bet would only be Kimberly Clark covers such as the Evolution, Noah, etc... Cost... A lot of US$ hehe, not available locally.

Thanks ILD for the post btw.

how much ang tent for the car yung mura lang siguro?

[ILuvDetailing]

Clavel: IMO Pag mura lang bibilhin mo, you'd be better off without a cover, pwedeng mag stain, magasgas yung kotse mo with a substandard car cover.

[airshaq20]

Like theveed mentioned: Noah is one of the best, cost just under $200 online.

Yes, you need to make sure your car is clean before you cover it, there's no sense of putting a cover if your car cover is cleaner than your car. And NO, not all car covers can be used outdoor, some are rated indoors (for people who have car garages)....if you buy the outdoor type and is rated as water and/or snow resistant, then you are safe even if you leave the cover in the rain.

[chieffy]

Kobe ang gamit ko pero kapag bagong carwash lang ang kotse...mag iiwan talaga ng gasgas kapag madumi ang kotse at nilagyan mo ng cover...water repellent lang kaya kapag umulan wala akong choice kundi tanggal pa rin ng cover...

[ts1n1ta]

hmm i never thought that you need to consider some things before buying a car cover. whew. lolz

Ang gamit ko ngayon Brand AUTOFORM 1700.00 bili ko 2 years na . Medyo manipis lang pang dust at pag natuluan ng malakas na ulan tumatagos din. Maganda lang dahil madaling matuyo. May garahe kotse ko siguro kung bilad sa araw hindi rin tatagal itong car cover na ito. May nakabili na ba sa inyo sa concord elevo mga less than 3000.00 okay ba ito sa tingin makapal at mabigat nga lang . may lining atang manipis sa loob. Mukhang maganda pang out door. Ewan ko lang kung tumatagos ang tubig .

[mau2485]

elevo car cover po kaso mas ok pag wala yung reflector kasi pumapasok dun sa stitch yung mga drops of rain

[testament11]

gamit ko yun nasa concorde. ang brand eh concorde din. maganda, makapal, waterproof nga talaga siya. yun nga lang, tinira ng aso ko at puro tastas at ngatngat ng aso ko yun cover. inaantay ko lang lumaki pa aso ko tsaka ako ulit bibili ng bagong car cover
