Indoor Car Covers - The Most Overlooked Problem

Read More About Cars and Trucks

The problem for most people with indoor car covers is not so much the level of protection which they afford, so much as the trouble of putting them on and taking them off, as well as storing them for later use. In this article we'll look at the main problems people tend to face, and what to look out for when choosing indoor car covers to try to minimise the possibility of experiencing the same problems.

It's funny but the process of fitting and removing indoor car covers is an aspect almost always overlooked, yet it's very important because it can make a great deal of difference in terms of the longevity and ultimate effectiveness of your car cover.

For example, if you have purchased a standard, semi-tailored indoor car cover and have placed this over your car to protect it from the high level of dampness that tends to pervade through many garages during the wetter months (generally January through to December in the UK) then it's clearly important to think about what happens to all that moisture once you remove the car cover.

In the case of some indoor car covers the moisture can end up pooling in some areas of the car (particularly the roof if it's a soft top) and this tends to have an uncanny knack of depositing itself over your shoes if you're not careful, and over your car even if you are.

Then once you fold or roll your car cover up for use later on, all that moisture is going to sit trapped within the fabric, leading to a higher probability of mildew and rot in the case of some materials. This will clearly impair not only the look of your car cover, but its life expectancy and ability to adequately protect your car from dust, dirt, moisture and paw prints.

It's also worth thinking about the process of putting the car cover back on again afterwards. Clearly if the material doesn't allow the car to breathe then it's not likely to allow much moisture to escape when it's folded or rolled up, and this could well be a problem. If moisture is likely to be an issue then think about choosing indoor car covers that are made from a breathable material such as polycotton or a cotton acrylic material.

If pooling of water is potentially a problem because of the shape of your car, or if it has a soft top, then it is likely to be a better idea to choose tailor made indoor car covers as these offer the maximum protection against dampness or pooling. Tailor made indoor car covers also tend to be a good deal easier to fit and remove, simply because they fit like a glove rather than like a mitten.

Another issue that can be a real pain with cheaper indoor car covers is scratching. Clearly car covers are supposed to offer protection against scratching, but some poorly made budget covers have plastic toggles on them for fitting, and when combined with a mitten-like fit and elastic the chance of scratching your car becomes higher. Good quality indoor car covers often have a fleece underlay which ensures that the car is fully protected from not only the elements, but also from the fitting and removal process.
