Sir I want your expert opinion on the car body cover or parking cover. What is its advantages and disadvantages and also its effect on car, whether its good or bad whatever. Its for our City's and also for other cars.
Please comment on this topic so we can use i in our routine life.
I know you weren't referring to me but I thought I'd let you know my $0.02
Car covers are good. If you can, go for the ones that have a furry lining on the inside as the other one can cause fine swirls marks on the paint in the long run (I faced that problem in my Getz whereas my uncle had a cover with a furry inside which prevented scratches). Also, you will have to always make sure to fold the cover once you remove it (which I rarely did as I was too lazy) or else you will have a hell of a time later on when you want to cover your car again. And also, make sure to clean the cover regularly as the amount of dust that can collect on the outer surface is shocking, especially if you live in a dusty area. Also, before putting on the car cover, make sure you have removed all the dust and dirt and water off your car (dust will cause swirl marks and scratches when you remove and put on the cover and collected water can cause rusting in the long run).
I personally think that car covers are only needed if you plan on leaving your car covered for a long time (if you use your car daily, there's no need for the cover). Also, if you have a covered parking lot, I say forget car covers.
So basically,
Advantages:
1. Helps keep the car dust free and dirt free
2. Protects car from the harsh sunlight
Disadvantages:
1. The car and the cover has to be clean or else it can cause swirl marks and scratches.
2. It is a cumbersome process to put on the car cover everytime and remove it daily, especially if you are lazy like me
