Default RE: Car Cover

Hi

No you don't have to wash it everytime you use it as long as you take it off and put it back on as l outlined in my previous post.

I only use my car cover indoors so l only wash it once a year. But take it to a laundermat their machines are larger. They shouldhave two size machines, use the larger one.

Do you have a garage? Or do you leave it outside year round? When using a car cover outside all year long will probably hurt your car finish more then help it unless you handle it right.

Car covers are meant for storage usually and it is not necessary to cover it over night etc. You cant prevent dings and dents all the time and seeing you take of a car cover and put it on everytime you drive the car is a bit ridiculas in my opinion! If the car was being stored for winter or something u should use the car cover or for over a week not a few days or so. I can see the car cover damaging your car with the whole process of covering it all the time and than uncovering. Go to a local detail store they can put on a coating to protect your paint and re-apply it every year it costs about $200 the first time and about 40$ every year you re apply, if you are concerned so much about the shine of the paint and the paint itself from fading etc.... that would probably be a way better thing to go with than just a car cover!

Hello-

No I do not have a garage. I live in a condo complex, and my initial reasoning for getting a car cover was due to my neighbors, being nice yes, wiping off snow on my car with a push broom. So I figured when it snows I will put it on that way I do not have to worry about them scratching it. I only plan to put it on right before a snowstorm , I put it on a week ago now and am going to take it off in a few days.

I park my car outside, when it snows I only brush off the windows. I am not gonna stand outside and clean the hood and the roof and the trunk and the rest of the junk when I drive it it will fall off. [8D]
