    Ok lang yung car cover mo sa init ng araw, atleast ma-lessen yung effect ng araw. Pero kung mababasa ng ulan yung car mo with cover on, alisin mo yung cover pag-tigil ng ulan at huwag mo pabayaan matuyo sa init ng araw yung cover, mas malaki effect nyan sa paint mo.

    Better leave your car without cover kung umuulan, then washing mo na lang ng fresh water after.

    Some car cover also leaves a hairline scratches sa paint ng car esp dark colors, very visible.

    it was discussed here before that there are new car covers that are in the market these days.

    among of which is the elevo brand, which is waterproof tapos, parang CD lining yung loob.

    got one already, and i can assure you that it's really waterproof. yun nga lang, to take care of your paint, ensure that the car is dust-free before putting on the cover. you can have it dusted (using a cali duster) bago mo balutan.

    Hindi lang rain and sun ang kalaban mo dyan. Carnappers, thieves and vandals too. Ingat lang.

    Sa panahon ngayon, kung madalas may car cover yang car mo, chances are magkakaroon ng molds and fungi. I found this out the hard way.

    what i do to avoid this is that after a heavy rain, i remove the cover and wipe the car.

    ^^^ Bro, I was referring to the molds and fungi inside the car. Yung sa akin, mga 5 days kong hindi ginamit yung car, nasala sa varying temperatures (init at ulan). Nung tinanggal ko yung cover, sangkatutak na fungi sa dashboard, center console, fabric seats and seatbelt. Naka-ilang apply ako ng Lysol, fungicides at Axion bago tuluyang namatay.

    medyo OT na pre... pero i think it has not to do with the car covers...

    [SIZE=2]ATLANTA, June 26 -- It may be lurking within the confines of
    every automobile without the owner's knowledge. It may smell like last week's
    lunch. Either way, sick car syndrome has become a reality and its effects may
    be more harmful to the health of passengers than just a distinctive odor.
    Recent studies conducted at Georgia State University show the main
    mechanism of sick car syndrome is the result of condensation collecting on an
    automobile's evaporator. The moist environment tends to harbor fungi, mold
    and mildew, which grow within the air system on the coils and foam type
    insulation. As air passes over the evaporator it picks up these microbes or
    their waste and then enters the passenger compartment through the vents.
    These microbes are the potential source of various ailments that the
    passengers may exhibit.
    Mildew-like odors are released when the air conditioner is activated
    following a rest period and in some cases, the odor seems to disappear after a
    few seconds or minutes of operation. The odor disappearance is caused by the
    occupant's noses acclimating to the smell -- not that the microbes have
    disappeared.

    * "Sick car syndrome is a symptom that occurs from prolonged exposure to
    microbes that grow in automobile interiors.

    the car cover can really add some scratches, although visible to the flourescent lamp only so try to get one of good quality

    one thing I hated when I did not have a garage were bird poop. dang, poop can really eat your paint since its so acidic.

    isa pa, careless people who might be carrying a bag, or riding a bike that could scratch your car. children as well who play outside - they play badminton, volleyball, dodge ball, soccer hehehe. when there is a typhoon, there is a possibility of fallen tree branches hitting your car too

    sir pwede po yung dehumidifier na nabibili po sa ACE, True Value, or other stores. Meron din po sa Jpan home na mas mura 88 pesos for 4 pcs. It will help po.

    Ako Nakikigarahe lang at wala pang bubong. Laging naarawan and ulan. Tapos sa work naman sa Service road naman ng Roxas blvd ang paradahan namin. Bugbog na sa elements.
