Do small cars need car covers in summer?
1 Answers
In summer, it is possible to use a car cover when the car is exposed to the sun, but avoid parking the vehicle in direct sunlight. Otherwise, covering the car may actually increase the internal temperature, which can damage the car's paint and even the interior. Additionally, it's important to wait until the engine has cooled down before covering the car. Once covered, the vehicle becomes a closed space with no ventilation, which can make it difficult for the engine to dissipate heat and potentially cause damage. The purpose of a car cover: Invisible car covers mainly provide protection against dust and acid rain, enhancing the car's appearance. Their self-healing capability is stronger than waxing. However, acid rain, insect remains, bird droppings, and accumulated dirt can gradually erode the invisible car cover, affecting the car's surface shine. Therefore, even after applying a car cover, regular cleaning is necessary. For high-intensity usage, it is recommended to wash the car once a month; for less frequent use, cleaning should be done at least every six months. Precautions for car covers: After applying an invisible car cover, avoid waxing or permanent polishing for the first three days. It is advisable to wax again after approximately two months.
