Can You Cover a Car with a Car Cover in Summer?

[DiRuby]

You can cover a car with a car cover in summer, but you need to avoid direct sunlight and ensure the car is cool before covering it. Avoid direct sunlight: Make sure to park the car in a place where it is not exposed to direct sunlight. Otherwise, the cover may cause the car's temperature to rise abnormally, which could affect the paint and even the interior. Cover the car when it is cool: Try to ensure the engine is in a cool state. Do not cover the car immediately after driving when the engine is still hot. Since the car cover is relatively enclosed and not breathable or waterproof, it may cause engine damage due to difficulty in dissipating heat. Covering the car in summer not only provides some sun protection and dust prevention but also avoids harmful substances like bird droppings and insect residue from sticking to the paint, offering many benefits. However, some car owners feel that covering the car in summer is like trapping it, making the interior stuffier. If the cover feels non-breathable, you can choose a car cover with a support frame. This not only avoids friction between the fabric and the paint but also uses air for insulation, improving air circulation to some extent.
