Not everyone has the possibility of leaving their car in a covered place, right? Those who park their vehicle outdoors end up leaving the car’s paint and bodywork exposed to dust and dirt from birds, in addition to the action of the salty air, humidity, and excessive sunlight. At these times, does putting on a car cover help or hinder even more?

Is Using A Car Cover Advantageous?

The answer to this question is: as long as you use it correctly! Giving up the car cover (ร่มคลุมรถ which is the term in Thai) can damage the bodywork, but if the vehicle is under a powerful sun, it can create a greenhouse and generate excessive heat, which is also not suitable for painting. So, for the cover to work in your favor, the car needs to be parked in a shady spot, okay? In addition, we give you other excellent tips:

• Don’t use the car cover if it’s wet, especially if it’s wet inside, okay? Always dry it in the sun and only use it when it is scorched. Moisture can rust the bodywork;
• Do not put the cover on if the car engine is still hot. Moisture from engine heat can form a layer of moisture between the car and the hood, which, as we said above, is not excellent for bodywork;
• Do not use covers on newly painted cars. Always ask the garage for the most suitable waiting period for the type of paint and painting performed to avoid any damage to the car;
• Make sure that the cover does not have any leaks. They can stain the bodywork.

Maybe you don’t know it, but there’s a car cover for every need. For you to understand correctly, we prepared a straightforward guide!

To Protect Your Vehicle From The Sun Or Rain.

For these cases, buy a waterproof cover with UV protection and inner lining. And give preference to those that reflect sunlight, which will avoid that greenhouse effect we mentioned up there!

To Protect Your Vehicle From Dust Accumulation.

If you store your car indoors and your number one enemy is dust, look for a permeable cover that will absorb moisture and protect your vehicle from dust buildup.

To Protect Cars That Sleep Outdoors.

In these cases, the objective is to protect the painting from the humidity of the serene and occasional hailstorms, in addition to acid rain, typical of large cities. The most suitable covers are textured polyethylene, with full lining, including the sides of the car. Search for car sunshade umbrella (ร่มบังแดดแบบคลุมรถยนต์ which is term in Thai)

There are also covers with a side zipper, which allows you to enter the vehicle without removing them to pick up objects or perform maintenance! Check for car sunshade umbrella (which is the term in Thai)
