We often spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on making our vehicle unique, and sometimes that effort can be thwarted by thieves – so we install a security system to protect our investment. But there’s another thief that takes away from our investment, and that’s weather. The harsh weather and environment can wreak havoc on our vehicle’s finish, and no alarm system in the world is going to deter that from happening.

In some areas, the intense heat from the sun can fade paint and fade the interior, and if it’s not the sun beating down on our vehicles there are other elements that can ruin a good finish. One of those elements is called industrial fallout, and anyone who has lived in an are where this is prevalent can tell you all about the small specs in their paint. And then there are other elements that ‘drop’ from the sky, sometimes sap from trees, other times those winged wonders take a load off and almost always aim for a freshly washed car. Bake that in the sun, and you’ve got a problem.

What do you do to protect your vehicle from these harsh elements? Of course, the garage is a great place to do so, but unless you store your car 24/7 in a garage, that’s not going to be an option. The next best thing, which will help protect your vehicle’s finish and interior, is a custom car cover by Covercraft.

Car covers range in size, from universal to custom fit, and they also vary by fabric for different degrees of protection. You can also use specialty covers that, for instance, cover only the glasshouse portion of your vehicle to protect the interior. There are several fabrics to choose from, for indoor or outdoor storage, and Covercraft provides a chart that shows exactly what type of protection each fabric will provide.

When you consider how much a paint job costs, and how many elements there are to do damage to your vehicle, it seems like a worthy investment to protect your vehicle with a car cover that is designed to hold up to those elements.
