How to choose the best car body cover

A practical guide to buying better protection.

Start with your parking conditions

Indoor garage parking usually calls for lightweight dust protection; an outdoor car may need a material intended for weather exposure. Check manufacturer specifications for rain resistance, breathability and UV exposure.

Measure your vehicle

Vehicle length, width and height matter more than a generic body category. Account for mirrors, roof rails and spoilers. Look for a verified size chart before ordering.

Keep everything clean

Never place or remove a cover on a dirty vehicle: trapped debris can abrade the paint. Follow the care label and dry both car and cover before extended storage.
