If you have separate summer and winter cars, or if you need to put your vehicle into storage for longer than a week or two, there are steps you should take.
Disconnect the battery. Even without any lights on, a small draw at all times is normal to keep essential electrical modules powered up. Left connected, it could drain your battery completely which isn’t healthy for it.
Park on tyre cushions. In less than a month, your tires can develop flat spots that destroy the tire if they haven’t moved. Parking all four wheels on mats molded to the curvature of your tire will prevent them from developing flat spots.
Cover your car. No matter the season, the sun’s powerful UV rays can damage your car’s interior, exterior, and tires. Covering your car will prevent undue wear and tear and help prolong its looks and its life. Choose only high quality car cover. At CoverCompany we produce standrd and made to measure car covers. Both are fully breathable and features a super soft interior. Our fabric is 70% poliéster and 30% lycra with an extra soft interior (200 grs / m2). Thanks to a shiny satin exterior and a fleece interior, it provides full protection to your vehicle.
It sounds like a lot of work. But done proactively and routinely, car care shouldn’t take more than an hour a week (plus the occasional faux pas). In the long run, you’ll enjoy a car that lasts longer, looks and drives better, and has a higher resale value. It’s well worth the effort.
Great service. Arrived from Spain with all tax and duties paid, so the price I was quoted is what I ended up paying. The cover has been up for 4 days with 2 days of rain and everything is fine and dry inside. It has used less than 1kw/h of power to date (I have a socket that monitors and tells you), and uses about 18W of power when running. I have added an OSB base inside the bottom of the bubble to protect it from the tyres on my car and do it maintains its 6x2.2m profile (as the car is way narrower than 2.2m). I am very happy with the bubble cover and would recommend it to anyone needing to protect their pride and joy from the elements and accidental scratches from next doors rug rats on their scooters and tricycles. Consider a dehumidifier if you’re living in the UK too to run inside. The bubble bulges as it’s operated via an over pressure, but rests on the car until inflated. I still have my soft cover on the car inside this bubble just in case it deflates. The bubble cover is smooth inside but I wouldn’t want it resting on my paint work for any length of time.
Top-quality cover that exceeded my expectationsBy:Luis Martins
Very satisfied with the service and the quality of the Cover Company cover. It was exactly what I had always imagined, and it was only possible here. Many thanks and, of course, I’ve become a customer; I can only recommend it, and that’s what I’ll do.
My motorbike is from the 1980s and I was worried getting a perfect fit might be impossible. To my relief and surprise Cover Company sent me a photo of a similar bike with questions confirming the configuration. The result is a perfect fit. Stitching and material is excellent. Quality exceeds my expectations. I’m so glad I chose to purchase from Cover Company.
