Covering your car during spring
Spring is here and most of us who live in cold climates have had about enough of snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. We welcome the new, warmer season with open and somewhat pasty arms. Flowers, light sweaters, and warmer weather are here to stay. With the joys of spring come some not so welcomed contributions such as pollen, bird dropping, and lots and lots of rain. If you’re not careful, these seasonal offerings can severely damage the exterior of your car. Take the following steps to ensure that your car sparkles this spring.
Pollen, one of spring’s most prevalent participants, not only causes harm to your respiratory system, but can damage your car as well. Microscopically, pollen is a sharp pronged form of grit. When it touches the exterior of your car, it can settle and become very difficult to remove. If you try to wipe it off with a rag or towel, pollen can cause swirls in the paint. To remove pollen with minimal damage to your paint, try cleaning it off with a micro-porous cloth.
We can thank spring for another auto enemy, bird droppings. If parked outside for an extended period of time, it’s not uncommon to find your car covered in it. Bird droppings are highly acidic and can erode paint. Especially if left in the sun, your car can suffer from these avian deposits. No-salt seltzer water, which is basically water and carbon dioxide, is an easy and effective way to clean bird droppings off your car.
Spring cleaning, whether you like it or not, isn’t just for your house. Deep cleaning your car every spring helps it to run longer and increases its resale value. Both the interior and exterior take a beating during the winter months when salt, ice, mud, and snow cover the roads. The following are some of the things you can do to freshen up your ride this spring.
First, clear away any clutter that that built up over the year. Make sure you get the hard to reach places like under and between the seats, door panels, and trunk. Next, clean the interior with a vacuum and wipe down all hard surfaces like the dashboard, cup holders, and steering wheel. When you’re done with the inside, move to the exterior by washing it down with soap and water. Scrub down tires, front grille, and license plate. When you’re done, apply a coat of wax to maximize your cars shine. One of the most important things you can do is clean your windows, which should be done regularly. Make sure they are unobstructed and streak free so you can see traffic clearly. When finished cleaning, organize your car so that it’s neat and clutter free. Only keep things in your car that are necessary. Another thing you can do is make sure your paper work such as registration and insurance information are up to date.
All this cleaning seems like hard work, but it’s worth it for you and your car in the long run. At Empirecovers.com we have a number of car and truck covers that will protect your car this spring. Whether it’s dirt, sun, rain, pollen, or bird droppings, our covers will provide the top protection. Call us today and learn about our special discounts.
During this time of year, old man winter always gives us the harsh reminder that getting into our car and on the to the road is hard work. If you’re sick of shoveling snow, then this ski car would be a great investment! Set on two giant wheels in the back and a ski in the front, this contraption allows you to drive over any kind of terrain, especially snow. No need to shovel your self out of your driveway, just hope in a go!
The SEMA car show is one of the most popular of its kind in the world. There you will find the latest models of cars, trucks, and SUVs. Most of vehicles you will see there are specialty, or after market. Although most of the cars you see there will never make it to the road, we at Empirecovers.com specialize in ones that do.
At Empirecovers.com, we sell a wide array of quality products. These products range from car, boat, truck, and SUV covers, to floor mats, patio furniture covers, and accessories such as spare car covers, and seat covers. We are very proud to say that most of the products we sell are made, manufactured, and shipped in the United States. We have partnerships with American companies such as DuPont that make our Premier Tyvek cover and Lloyd Mats that make our custom and non custom floor mats. Some of our other American made products include the Max cover and the Sunguard cover. American made products are not only better quality, but they also help to boost our country’s economy.
The Max cover is made in the United States at our Kentucky factory. It is our most durable cover because it provides top-of-the-line protection against sun, heavy rain, ice, snow, and dust. This is also out most popular cover in areas such as California, Florida, and Texas. The Max cover also has three layers of Endura Plus protection that provides breathability, water and UV resistance. This cover is available for trucks, SUVs, vans, station wagons, and limousines.
The Sunguard cover is also made at our United States factory in Kentucky. This cover is very lightweight and provides top sun protection. It is breathable, UV treated, and non-abrasive. This cover is very popular in desert areas where there is lots of sun and little rain.
Why buy American? Producing products in the United States provides jobs for those in industries such as manufacturing, customer service, and retail. Another perk to having American made products is the quality assurance. These products have at least a ten year warranty, the Max having the best with a lifetime guarantee. We stand by our products and can assure that you’re getting the best anyone could make. Buy an American made Max cover today and support your country!
Recent review from one of our recent customers:
“I had one of those other custom covers. You know the ones, custom cab and bed fit with the Dumbo ears. Well it got damaged and I needed a new cover. My truck is “my precious pride and joy” and I was unsure about purchasing a “less expensive” cover.
I live in HOT south Florida with lots of thunderstorms.
I just took the cover off today, after two weeks, expecting that I needed to wash the truck. The black interior was cool and the truck was perfectly clean on the outside!
Not a spot!
In the mornings lots of water is on the cover.
This is either from the nights rain or morning dew. I believe the shape (angled down from cab to tailgate) helps keeps water from sitting on the cover and the cover from laying on the truck. I have a black tonneau cover that’s always a huge pain to keep really clean and spot free.
Not a spot!
On the downside: I can not get the cover to fit back in the bag it came in. (Sigh) I must admit, “It HAD to fit back in the bag”, was not a needed requirement.
This cover has exceeded my expectations.
I HIGHLY recommend the Empire MAX cover!!!”

The main thing to show is how the truck cover goes vertically from the cab to the end of the bed- that is to prevent water from building up in the bed. The water should roll off the bed if the fit is good. if you are having problems with the fit just fold in the mirrors. THank you
I received emails saying please show more of your photo shoot and my designers were like no the truck covers are sacred, we cannot show unedited pictures. I told them ,”i give my people want they want, i am the boss.” The designers lost but i had to buy them lunch. They hate me writing this stuff. I swear i am going to get into videos soon. Anyone have any recommendations on what to write please let me know. So the F150 covered looks really good and the truck cover does go down vertical across the bed to prevent water from building up. I will have my designers draw it out for you someday to show the mechanics of a car cover. Love the blog, love me people. Ok please send any comments to jake@empirecovers.com and hope you enjoy.
