A car cover does not cause damage to the car under high-temperature sunlight. Below is an introduction to car covers: Introduction: Commonly known as car clothing, a car cover is an outer protective garment made of canvas or other flexible, wear-resistant materials tailored to the car's dimensions, serving as a protective accessory for vehicles. Function: A suitable car cover provides close-fitting protection for your beloved car, preventing damage from weather, environmental factors, and human interference. High-quality car covers offer acid resistance and flame-retardant features. With a car cover, your vehicle is effectively shielded from the "torment" of acidic rain or snow in polluted urban conditions during inclement weather. Additionally, during dry winter months, especially around the Chinese New Year when fireworks are set off in some areas, the risk of fire increases. A car cover undoubtedly offers excellent protection for your vehicle parked outdoors.
I've been using a car cover in hot weather for many years and find it effectively protects the paint from UV fading, while also preventing dust and bird droppings. But avoid cheap options—some plastic covers aren't breathable, trapping heat under the sun and causing interior temperatures to spike, which may accelerate paint and upholstery aging. Thermal expansion might even scratch the surface, especially when covering a still-warm car. Opt for high-quality, breathable covers made of specially woven polyester to dissipate heat. Parking in the shade regularly helps reduce risks. Always ensure the cover fits snugly without sagging, and combine this with regular cleaning to keep your car looking great long-term.
