What is the Easiest Way to Put A Car Cover On?


Your car is a prized possession that deserves to be well maintained, and many people do take care of their vehicle. But when it comes to protecting their cars against the natural elements; some owners assume that their vehicle was made to with stand the heat and cold.

The weather will eventually beat down the best of cars and what you are left with is a lackluster, discolored paint job. If you live in the city, you probably do not have a choice but to park on the streets. However, you do have a choice in purchasing a car cover for your vehicle.

Car covers have been on the market for a long time and the perception is that only guys with flashy sports cars buy car covers. For example, you'd expect someone who drives a Corvette C6 to use a car cover.  This is far removed from the truth, because when you understand the practical benefits of using a car cover. There is a high probability that you will run out and get it for your car. Another perception is that cars parked indoors do not need to be covered. Actually it does, to prevent dust accumulation that can scratch your paint job. In this discussion you will see how easy it is to slip it on.

All you have to do, after taking it out of the bag is to look for a tag labeled “front” on the inside of the car cover. Pull the cover over the front bumper and then lift the cover all the way down to the back bumper where you will secure it. That is all it takes to put on a car cover. Do not forget to retract the antennae before using the cover.

Some antennas do not retract, so in this situation gently pull the cover over the entire vehicle and mark the spot the cover meets the antenna. Using a sharp blade cut a small hole in the cover and insert the two snap-on rings (that is part of the package) to the front and back of the hole.

Car covers are available in many colors and styles and are designed to withstand heat, rain and dust while allowing any heat build-up inside the cover to escape. Choose a cover also depending on if you park indoors or on the streets.  A great place to buy car covers is by using Google Product Search.
