Car cover?

[SpinCycle]

Both your car and car cover need to be free of dirt and dust to avoid scratches. Better if you wax the car too before putting on the cover.

Thanks for the replies!

How about the moist? May issue ba yun?

Any recommendation for a good soft from the inside car cover?

My car has a huge spoiler sa likod, pag regular sedan cover hindi kasya eh. What if pang AUV/SUV? Hindi kaya masyado naman big/covered baka bahayan na ng cat/mouse?

Thanks again

pag bago car cover hindi magkaron ng swirl marks. pag nagkadumi na, or may dust ang car, pag hangin kakaskas yan sa kotse mo at magkakaswirl marks.

basta for us who have experienced it sinumpa na namin yang car cover. but other people tell you otherwise and it's your choice who to listen to. tell us after a few months what the results are. then we'll say "we told you so!"

kung wala kang covered garage use car cover pero kung meron naman no need to buy

With or without car cover, you'll still get swirl marks from washing your car and dusty winds from dusty construction sites where cement and gravel particles fly like desert sands LOL. You can't really avoid it. It's part of owning a car and you can only "minimize" swirls. Useless din if you get so stressed up about it and lose sleep.

There are folks who don't have a covered garage or the garage is only good for 1 car. Bird poops, tree saps, pollen, UV damage, cat scratch and fruit droppings from birds and can do more damage to your car than swirl marks. Think of acid eating up your paint. Swirls can be remedied, but that, you'll need to either repaint the panel or if the damage is not that deep, you can have it buffed. It's a very expensive option for some of us. Either get a car cover or a tent.

Dusty wind can also produce scratches/swirl marks on a car??

Car cover is only useful if you will park your car for weeks or more than a month, but if you will use your car almost daily then its not advisable.
Better buy a tent sa ACE almost twice the price of a good car cover, but it will keep your car safe from potential swirls and scratches.

Think of it as rock chips, but only tinier. Parang sand blasting. Ever felt sand in your eyes when a construction supply truck passes you by? If your eyes can feel it, so will your car, lol. Best to avoid it if you can.

I bought mine from Lazada:

Deflector DCCB-S2-SB Car Cover for Sedan (Silver/Blue) | Lazada PH

I've searched the malls and online, but, this is the only one with a soft cotton lining.

As for the size, it's better you get a 1 size bigger to fit your spoiler. Otherwise, you will not be able to cover your rear area. Better if you could measure it lengthwise and compare.

Thanks for the replies.

Btw, my car is already parked indoor (basement), prob is very dusty even if you just leave it for a day or two. Some small paint debris are also falling from the ceiling, since the building is old.

I plan on not using the car for more than a month since i am leaving out of town for work.

How about the moisture when covered with car cover? Is it also a concern? Also, when covered, will it attract rats?

I think your concern mainly depends NOT on the car cover but more on the environment where your car is parked.

If you are leaving for a month, then a car cover is useful, to keep the dust away, but it will not keep the rats away if there are rats in the building.
Since its a basement parking, you can put rat killer pellets in plastic baking trays, and leave it on the floor, one below the engine bay and the other at the back.
Before, I even spray Baygon around the car for crawling insects, but that was before, now Baygon formulation are bugs friendly.

For moisture, I use the Elevo brand car cover, the inner lining absorbs some moisture. I usually put a plastic stick (wrapped in cloth) on my car roof to create a space for moisture to escape.
Don't apply wax when you are leaving your car for extended time and planned to use a cover. Moisture and heat will stick some of the lining material into your car.
In your return , when removing the car cover, lift the car cover upward, dont pull it sideways.

Theres an old thread here in tsikot about what to do when leaving cars for an extended time.

i wouldn't cover my car for a month.
i would hire someone to clean my car once or twice a week, if i were me.
i would also request from the parking administrator, for a more favorable parking slot, in the interim. yung mas malapit sa paningin ng guards.

It's not recommended to drive while the parking umbrella is engaged. The wind speed is limited to 60 kph (I forgot the exact number).

I’m deciding now on which of the 2 brands should I get. Elevo or Deflector.. Both has inner cloth to absorb some moisture and chance to protect from scratches when covering and removing from the car.

Another issue is I’m not sure which size will fit for a car with huge rear spoiler. Searching online and other forums, got different answers. Some suggested to buy for a large sedan, some said for SUV.
