      scotty, you are getting good at the thumbnail inserts, too funny dude, and awesome! and you might want to add to your video a fact, as i bought a 250 dollar truck cover, top of the line, but if you leave them on for extremely windy days, like i did out in farm land usa, the flapping of even expensive car covers, beats up against the paint job and makes areas look worn, pissed me off i tell ya.......! and what it was is that dust gets up underneath the cover and the dust acts as sandpaper and the dust is what dulls the shine permanently where the cover constantly bumps up against the paint in the wind.....

    Great video Scotty. I’ve also had some bad experiences with light scratches and abrasions due to the wind blowing the cover repeatedly on my paint along with leaves and twigs that blow up from under the car. I think it is a good idea to use a cover that is a larger fit for your car to have a bit more coverage underneath the car as well. This may prevent wind blowing things up and in between the paint and car cover.

    It’s a good idea to clean the car before putting a cover on,
    because any dirt and grit
    will scratch the paint
    when you install the cover,
    when you remove it,
    and as wind blows and moves it around.
    While fitted covers won’t move over the car in the wind,
    the tighter fit causes more friction putting it on and taking it off.
    If the cover goes on and off frequently, it’s much easier and faster to clean the car with wax detailer and a microfiber cloth
    compared to a soap and water wash.
    Also..a tarp, over the car cover is a good idea for cars kept outside and not under a car port.
    Over time, dirt, bird droppings,
    bee droppings
    (the yellow spots)
    build up on the car cover,
    and it will need to be cleaned.
    The tarp adds an inexpensive extra layer of heat and moisture protection;
    and can be sprayed off easily and quickly with water any time.
    I’ve found that white tarps reflect heat the best.
    The tarp can be secured through its grommets with a few bungee cords.
    Eventually, (6 mos.-1 year depending on tarp quality and heat intensity) the sun will win the battle and the tarp will begin disintegrating.
    Then, just buy a new one, usually something like half the cost of a decent cover.
    The car cover then lasts years, remaining in virtually new condition.

    • @karlivanr

      Hello! By tarp, you mean a literal tarpaulin? I've been thinking of buying a car cover for ours since it's parked outside and I've had to wash the car every 1-2 weeks because of bird poop.

    I bought a good cover for my car in outdoor storage for the winter.When I uncovered it in the spring,it was filled with live and dead mice,several nests that were constructed with insulation and the wiring harness was chewed to shreds.I even found a dead snake.I would make sure that you use moth balls or traps to prevent that happening to your car.

      ​@YoungBlaze and thats just it. The cover itself is going to get dirty everyday from the dust and crap blowing around in the air. Then you have to take it off and store it with all the dirt on it. Most people put it inside the car so now the dust and crap is in the car and on the inside of the car cover.

    I live in Siberian climate. I worry about bears, tigers, and Ox scratch my car. For this, I use Spetsnaz light-armoured assault vehicle cover. Cover is completely kevlar with a soft inner coating of dead Siberian animals' fur (many options) so no scratching of car. Outer shell is coated in concertina wire and poison spikes. Large Soviet surplus mean this cover cost only 2341.48 Ruble local or 34.99 USD + 5.00 USD shipping. Kit also comes some landmine and T-5000 russian sniper rifle to fend off anything that moves within 100 meter of car.

    If storing your car for an extended period of time I also recommend putting several sheets of BOUNCE inside the car and trunk and even under the hood to protect it from mice damage. Mice can do a HUGE amount of damage to a vehicle, especially if they start chewing on the wires or upholstery. And, God forbid they die in the vehicle. That's the gift that keeps on giving. Fill the car with BOUNCE instead. Mice hate it and it makes your car smell good. Happy Trails!

    Nice thing about the fitted covers is they take in consideration features of your car other cars don't have. For instance, generic cover won't consider your rear placed antenna and so won't fit nicely unless you take antenna off or risk breaking it.

    Coverite Tybond is VERY GOOD from pep boys $59.99. You even have the grommets on the side of the car. This cover is very good if your car stays outside. It does protected against rain, snow and ice. I use this cover all the time. There is even two open flaps one on the hood and one on the roof for the air to be able to flow through the cover and out of the cover and you would think rain would get in or snow or perhaps ice none of that does when you remove this cover your car is dry. People swear my car is garage kept. The only problem I have is every once in awhile the deers and red tails foxes like to nibble on it once in awhile.

    Custom covers, while expensive due to them being custom, are at the high end of the "want list". There are some slightly cheaper alternatives that still give the same amount of all-weather depending on the rating and weave. If you live in a 4-season area - depending on the brand of the cover - their highest rating would be from 5-7 layers on different brands. I've seen some for as low as $70-plus up to $200. Always try to get something breathable, you don't want that thing to permanently stick to the car and peel off the paint when you take it off - especially in winter if you've got one of those heavy duty ones. I've heared that there are some car covers that come coated with teflon inside and out - but they are supposedly insanely expensive.

    I cover my car, once on, to take off roll the cover from the front to shield and the back to shield into a sausage then fold. Much easier to put back on later, just reverse. Learnt this putting covers on and off aircraft on windy airfields.

    @johannkuhn5685 6 років тому

    You forgot a couple things there.
    1. A cover will block in moisture. This might not sound like a problem, but just leave a car outside with a cover overnight, and then be ready to regret it if the sun gets to it. There will probably be a bit of water on the paint, and once the sun hits the cover, it will cause the water to burn the paint (I don't know how hot that water gets, but taking the cover off will reveal a very noticeable amount of steam). Been there, done that. A decent outdoor cover will have vents to let the hot air out. Cheap ones will leave nasty marks on your paint.
    2. Unless you just washed the car, it will have at least some dust. If you put the cover on and leave the car outside, it will take only a slight breeze to start rubbing that dust into the paint. Not good.
    I sometimes use a custom (home-made) vinyl half-cover for my Z3, but I always clean all painted areas that will come in contact with the cover before I put it on.

    Do NOT use car or motorcycle covers, basically what happens is they keep moisture in and your vehicle will rust/corrode at an accelerated rate. Your vehicle will be in a bubble of moisture under that cover, you can imagine what happens... In the open air morning dew (and rain from the pavement) evaporates from the vehicle and doesnt have much time to corrode it, when it is covered it gets trapped by the cover, the sun heats it up and turns it into vapor and off to the races. You are much better off waxing and polishing your vehicle regularly to protect the surfaces.
