lol, I do use two though!

The point of wax is to protect the paint from the elements, so if it has a good layer of wax on it, it should be fine? Go with a synthetic like NXT 2.0. Synthetics can withstand higher temperatures.

Lol i laughed hard when you said "well two of them"

I see what you mean......so if i keep the car waxed the sun wont be a problem to the paint?

Re: Will a car cover protect my car?

That's why you wax it, and keep it waxed. I'm not against a car cover, trust me. I use one, well two on the same car, almost half the year. I'm just trying to give you other options. There is an "evil" to each option, either way.

The high intensity heat/sunlight wont damage the paint ?

Taking the cover on & off can have adverse effects. You drive the car, it picks up dirt/debris, you then put the cover on the car, and dirt may possibly instill swirls/scratches. Then you have to remove it again to drive the car...

If you are storing the vehicle inside of a garage, or somewhere sheltered from the wind for longterm, a car cover will work just fine.

If it's a daily driver....

Just sayin

No problem, theres not much wind where the car is...

Detailing 101...

If you are unsure about any detailing questions, anything, Detailing 101.
Doesn't have to do with detailing? Break Room.

Other than those two, there are sections for specifics.

Re: Will a car cover protect my car?

BTW my car's paint is looking lame

In which section could I create a topic with pictures of the damage done to the painting with the years, so I will be able to better recover it?

Re: Will a car cover protect my car?

Re: Will a car cover protect my car?

I noticed the cover is scratching my car on the edges....what can i do to make the thing sit still? Thanks

I'd get a good coat of wax on the paint to help buffer things. Also, if it's a car cover that has holes at the bottom sides they make cables that will run through to prevent theft of the cover. This may minimize movement.

Re: Will a car cover protect my car?

I leave the windows up. I'd rather put some of that anti-moisture stuff in the car. They sell little tubs of it to put in boats while they are covered up.
