Protection from Acid Rain, Dust, Dirt

"Strive for perfection in everything.
Take the best that exists and make it
better. If it doesn't exist, create it. Accept
nothing nearly right or good enough."
Sir Henry Royce, co-founder of Rolls Royce

After your car's paint has been rained on, the water begins to evaporate. as the droplets become smaller and smaller, the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the water intensifies to the point that it can damage your paint! (It looks like a water spot, but on closer examination, it is actually a crater eaten away by the evaporated droplet.) Sunshine after a rain accelerates this process! Therefore, you need the best protection you can get. If you are unable to keep you car or truck in a garage, then the next best solution is a weather shield car cover fabric.

There are many manufacturers out there of car cover protectors. I look for the following qualities in my car and truck cover protection:

• The latest generation of car cover fabrics that are made of a less bulky material
• Water-shedding technology with the same breathable fabric used in waterproof hiking outerwear
• No outside lamination or water-resistant coating that can wear off
• The fabric should be spun from polyester and the fibers fully encapsulated to be water-resistant
• When you take it off after a rain storm and give it a good shake the remaining moisture should dry off within minutes
• It should be compact enough to easily fit into any washer or dryer for cleaning
• It should be custom-made to fit your car or truck like a glove

Prices vary from $169 and up for indoor protection and $250 and up for all-weather fabrics.
