Summer Is Approaching… Don’t Forget to Use Your Empire Cover!
Wednesday, May 18th, 2011With the summer approaching (only 35 more days!!!) mother nature will indeed be throwing a mixture of nasty weather conditions our way. Protecting your vehicle from these conditions is a must to help prolong the longevity of your car, truck, SUV or RV.
Summertime is a notorious season with variations in weather. Sunny days, rain, and thunderstorms are all common, and can easily damage your car, particularly the bodywork and paint. The sun and its UV rays commonly fade paint, while rain and thunderstorms can lead to rust and discoloration.
No one wants their vehicle to look less than 100 percent. If you do not have a garage or somewhere to protect your vehicle, it is important to invest in a quality cover to prevent damage and deterioration. To help prevent fading, make sure the material of the cover features UV protection to restrict damage from those dangerous rays. To prevent rusting and discoloration, invest in a cover that is either a 100% waterproof cover or one that is water resistant and breathable.
Now you might be thinking, what is the difference between a 100% waterproof cover and a water resistant breathable cover? A 100% waterproof cover prevents all types of moisture from entering; while a water resistant breathable cover may let some moisture in, however the breathable features allows the water to evaporate and helps avoid mold and mildew growth.
Also important is to make sure your cover features non-abrasive material. This will prevent any scratches appearing on your car from using a cover.
You may be thinking, “Taking a cover on and off my vehicle is such a hassle! I do not have the time nor energy to do it!” However, using a car cover is actually simple, quick, and safe. Watch the following video, made by Empire Covers, to show how easy it really is to use a car cover.
