Important Features To Consider When Buying Car Covers
You've worked for years to save enough to buy that special car. The bird is gone and left no souvenirs to harm the paint. Good thing you are going out to buy a cover for your car tomorrow. Tonight you cover it with blankets (new ones, of course) and hope nothing terrible happens.

There are a variety of car covers. The reason this is important is because car covers are built for outside is going to be made to withstand UV rays, hail, rain, wind and almost anything else Mother Nature can toss at it, along with flying sticks or kicked up stones. Where as car covers made for inside is going to do little else than protect the car from dust or small debris getting on it.

Not all car covers are created equally. If you are going to store the car outdoors, check to see what kind of UV protection it offers. If too many UV rays get though the cover, the paint will loose shine and the upholstery can fade. While complexly repelling rain is best, as long as it resists the rain may work well also.

Depending on where you live, extreme temperatures will also take their toll on your car over time. Try to get car covers that will protect your car from extreme heat and cold temperatures.

Also, does it protect from dust? This aspect of protection will vary depending on which cover you choose. The thickness of the cover is something to consider as well. When a piece of pea gravel is flying at your car, you want to make sure the cover is thick enough to absorb the impact.
A warranty will help you rest assured that if damage happens to your car while it is covered, you are covered.
