Can I Cover the Car with a Car Cover When the Engine is Hot?
1 Answers
No, this is not conducive to engine heat dissipation. If you immediately put on the car cover when it's raining outside, the engine will become stuffy and hot inside, which will reduce the engine's lifespan. The cabin will also feel damp. You should wait for the car to cool down before putting on the car cover. Reminder: A car cover is not a completely snug protective film; it can shift relative to the car body, especially in strong winds. If you put on the car cover without washing the car first, the cover will carry dust and tiny sand particles on the paint surface, causing friction similar to light grinding, which can actually damage the car's paint. When to Use a Car Cover: If the car is only used on weekends and you rely on public transportation during the week, a car cover provides obvious protection for the vehicle. It can significantly reduce UV damage to the paint and minimize the effects of sun and rain. Additionally, a car cover can play a positive role in preventing damage from falling objects, fireworks, and other unexpected factors.
