Great video, I wish I had a garage where I live... I have considered a car cover... but I am not sure what to do with it when I take it off? Throwing dirty cover to fill up my trunk or lugging it all the way back into my apartment and put it... somewhere?!?! That doesn't seem very logical. I did buy the specific window shade for my car... makes a huge difference.

What are your thoughts about a black car cover.😁 when I got my new truck it was the only thing available. I leave my windows open to try to resist any heat buildup on the interior, I’d like your feedback on the color,(Black versus silver).👍 thank you,. when I’m not using the car cover I use window shades on three sides (window)of the automobile to block the sun from the interior and keep windows down of course as much as I can get away with.

@artagain8977 5 жыл бұрын

The correct but goofy looking way to use a sun shield is to actually put it on the outside of the windshield. It’ll keep the car a lot cooler. When on the inside, it’s just reflecting the heat into the cabin.

@vxsr33 5 жыл бұрын

It's fine just putting it on the inside, it doesnt reflect the heat into the cabin, if it fits properly it will reflect nearly all the heat back through the windshield. Not worth putting it on the outside for like 5% better reflection when it can easily be blown away by wind or just taken off by someone.

If ceramic coating is expensive. Applying car wax can help protect the paint from UV rays. And the dirt won't stick too much when there is wax. It is a cheaper alternative. But wax comes off eventually. So you need to maintain it at least once a month.

By the time you drive to work, your car would be too dirty to put a cover on unless you don't care about swirl marks, scratches and damage to the paint. At which time you have to wonder, why does one care about putting a car cover on the car at all? Indoor covers are the only car covers that make sense because they are applied in a controlled environment without outdoor hazards and dirt.

@NatureBoy12100 21 күн бұрын

The sun will do more damage to your car then the possiblity of scratches from your car cover. I use one when not driving my car for a day and leave it on til I drive the car the next time. It takes about 5 minutes to put on and remove. After putting it on for the first time, remove it by rolling the car cover up from the front to the back, then fold the whole roll in the middle and store in a trash bag. When you are ready to put it back on, just lay car cover on top near back of car and unroll it. It will take less time from then on. My Honda CR-V 2018, looks like it is new today. My friends Honda CR-V looks like an old car. They thought it was too much trouble to use. By the way I bought the cheapest Budge Cover which breathes and just throw it away when it starts to tear from the sun rays and get another. I usually get a season or two before I need to replace. We don't have any garages.

You shouldn't put a car cover on a car unless the car has been washed and is totally clean. Driving it to work when it gets road dust all over it and putting a car cover on a car that isn't car wash fresh isn't a good idea. You could use car detailer before covering it at work but doing that and then covering the car is going to get you exhausted before you start your day on the job.

@@UNPhantom93 - Sure lots of people get scratches and surface swirls from car covers BECAUSE THEY DON'T FOLLOW THE ADVICE I CITED ABOVE. You should NEVER put a car cover on a car that isn't car wash clean. If you live in Oman, that is the DESERT and if you drive your car even a short distance in Oman where you live (or in the California desert of Palm Springs where I live), you are going to get dust on it. No. No. No. No. You can't do that. I use a car cover all the time. I'm retired and have time to take care of my car. So if I remove my car cover to use my car, I let the car sit until nighttime and then take a hose to it, dry it off and then apply a spray coat of Quick Detailer (about 30 minutes of work). THEN I put my car cover back on. It's 110 degrees today where I am. Without a car cover, the inside of my car would COOK. I don't get scratches or paint damage because I don't put a car cover on a dusty or dirty car. Rule of thumb? If you can't hose off your car and dry it before putting on a car cover, don't put a car cover on.

@@ThomasKOdell I sorta disagree, I have a black honda CR-V and a New Black KIA Forte. I have used the car cover on the Honda for the last 5 years and just started using it on my KIA. The Honda still looks like new. Yes, it is better to have it washed but I can't do that all the time. Many times I just put it on with the car dirty. It hasn't done any scratching yet. It protects from the sun very well. People say it looks like I just brought it home from the dealership. I roll up the cover when I put it on and take it off and I do this daily, takes a few minutes but not a problem. It is the cheapest car cover I could get. The Budge cover for the Honda CR is breathable and dries out quickly if it rains. I highly recommend it. As the cover is cheap it last a couple of seasons and I have to replace it. I am on my 3rd cover for the Honda.
