Possibly The Best Outdoor Car Cover for your Focus RS

Too Many Layers Car be a Bad Thing.

2011-05-01T07:42:00.000-07:00

Its temping when buying an outdoor car cover to assume that the more layers the cover has the better it is.

Modern fabrics such as our Stormforce, Advan-Tex or Guanto materials have a sandwich type construction, enabling the cover to breath yet be waterproof and offer great protection from the elements.

After many years of evaluating and testing fabrics, we came to the conclusion that depending on the materials used in its construction, 3 or 4 layers were best. They offered protection from the elements, were gentle on your car yet remained breathable.

Once a cover has 5 or more layers it becomes less breathable and more likely to trap moisture inside.

Cars on the Coast

2011-03-13T06:08:00.000-07:00

Bird muck on your car is never good for its paint and laquer, but Seagulls can be real problem if you live on the coast, especially if their diet is particularly acidic. This can be caused by them eating a certaint type of shell fish or similar at any given time.

Add into the mix the car being left for a week or so in the height of summer over the holiday period and this makes fitting a car cover essential. One than can be easily cleaned and is non absorbant.

Buying a Car Cover and living in London?

2010-12-27T11:51:00.000-08:00

Parking in London has always been a problem and a parking space is a much treasured possession if you have one. So if you want to protect your car and use a car cover you will probably need one with a parking permit or tax disc holder window to keep the authorities happy. If your car is parked on the public highway, then you must display your tax disc, it is after all a legal requirement. If you park in a residence parking area then you will need to display a permit or risk getting a fine.

The Solution is to use one of our new Advan-tex bespoke car covers. Each one is individually made to order here in the UK. We insert a special window at time of manufacture so you can display both your tax disc and parking permit so you wont get into trouble with the law.

We can also fit a car cover locking kit and car cover alarm so you can protect your investment from thieves.

Don't be fobbed off by sellers suggesting taping things to the outside of a standard cover as in reality this isnt a viable solution.

Monsoon Car Cover Review

2010-12-09T07:58:00.001-08:00

Monsoon car covers from Coveryourcar.co.uk are a great solution to Winter / outdoor storage. They are a good fit, usually with pockets for the wing mirrors. They are polurathane based which means the material isnt as breathable as some other fabrics.

This isnt a problem though as the cover is breathable by design and has vents to help the air circulate. Infact in the winter months it works in a good way as damp, moisture heavy air doesnt pass through the cover and condense on the car like some other car covers.

The material is 100% waterproof, but can be slightly delicate if the cover is on and off the car every day. Great for longer term winter storage though where the cover is on the car for long periods.

The inner lining is also quite soft, distinctly different to the Stormforce and Voyager solutions which look similar inside and out.

Because the cover is Polyurathane, it doesnt last well in very hot climates where there is high UV and intense heat, in these instances a Stormforce, Voyager or Advan-Tex solution would be better.

All in all the Monsoon cover is a great solution for older cars over winter and help protect them from the worst of the elements

Car Covers - Where are they now?

2010-11-23T08:43:00.000-08:00

Car cover technology has moved on a great deal over the last few years. No longer do you have to put up with a Small, Medium, or Large, or a nastly plastic tarpaulin from the DIY shop.

Covers now come made to measure, either instantly where a pattern for a specific vehicle has been made, then mass produced, or as a one off where a customer may require a specific colour combination or have a unique request or unusual, rare car.

Modern multi layered fabrics, such as those supplied by us here at Coveryourcar.co.uk means a cover can breathe and be waterproof at the same time. This is important especially to Soft Top owners such as Porshe Bosxters, Mazda MX5s, Honda S2000s or BMW Roadsters where the roof area can be a weak point.

Our Stormforce and Advan-Tex waterproof car covers are simply the best that money can buy no matter what style of car you drive, they offer peace of mind in terms of protection.

What about half covers though, they are in theory a good idea, but in practice are a nightmare waiting to happen. Infact keeping a half cover on your car is a feat in itself, and if the half cover doesnt end up blowing down the street, chances are the straps that run over the bodywork will rub and make a mess off your paintwork.

So top tip, avoid half covers at all costs, no matter what the hype or speel from sellers, they arent worth the money, go for a full cover every time.

Why your Audi R8 Needs a Cover

2010-09-18T06:23:00.000-07:00

If you have an Audi R8 and want to protect it while outdoors, you need one of our outside fitted cover for it... why?

a) The Audi R8 is an afforadable supercar but extremely wide and not suitable to a standard garage so unless you have a double garage then it isnt going to fit inside.

b) A general fit X Large style general fit cover is not going to fit the R8 at all so this rules out most online or high street retailers.

c) On the later cars, Audi added extra vents to the engine bay to help cooling but water can sometimes get in causing a steam bath effect on starting the engine. Solution? fit one one our waterproof covers and stop any water getting in.

d) The Audi R8 is an icon and can be a target for any narrow minded yob. The cover, fitted with one of our car cover alarms can stop them in their tracks.

Caring for Your Car Cover

2010-08-28T11:22:00.000-07:00

To get the most out of your Coveryourcar Car Cover you will need to look after it, treat it well and it will protect your car for years. Here are some tips on how to best look after the cover so it will protect your car flawlessly.

1) When the cover is not is use, always keep it in a clean, dust free environment. If its damp allow it to dry, dont store it wet it will go mouldy if left wet for a long time scrunched up somewhere.

2) When putting the cover on or off the car keep it off the floor, you don't want it picking up dirt or dust off the floor. This also applies to cars in garages.

3) When putting the cover on, always start at the roof and fold down. Dont drag the cover over the car from front to back.

4) When removing the cover, dont pull it off in one go, fold it onto the roof, corner by corner, make sure the straps are removed totally before doing so.

5) Washing your cover - All our covers can be washed. The best way to wash a cover is at a low temperature with no deturgent and probably in a bath, NOT a washing machine. Lux Flakes are ideal as they contain to ingredients that will distroy and inner membrane.

6) Make sure your car is clean before you cover it. Any dirt on the car will end up on the inside of the cover and over time will get worse and worse. Use a Dust Particle Removing Wand to lift and fine particles after a sunny drive when you may think the car is clean but it isnt.

7) Keep the cover away from very hot exhausts, although most of the material we use is heat resistant it will brown over time if constantly placed against extremely hot surface.

8) Keep animals such as Cats, Foxes and Rodents away from the car cover, if they climb onto it or use it as a scratchpad then chances are it will rip or become damage. Using an Electronic Cat Deterrent such as Catwatch can help.

Hopefully follow these tips and your cover and car will perform brilliantly for many years.

Keep Cat's Off Your Car or Car Cover

2010-06-21T11:27:00.000-07:00

Do you have a problem with cats, who insist on sitting on your nice warm car once you park up for the evening? Scratching the paintwork in the process. Solution maybe to use a Car Cover, but even then some cats will not be put off. Some polyurathane covers can also puncture if the cat uses its claws to get onto the car.

With a nice soft car cover like our Stormforce range, cats have also been known to use it as a scratch pad. Pawing at it because its "fun"!!

The solution is to use a Cat Deterrent, either a Catwatch or Catfree product, available from us here at Coveryourcar. The device is battery powered ( with mains option ) and sits in the ground pointing at your car. Once activated by a cat ( and only a cat ) it produces an Ultrasound for 10 seconds, unaudible to the human ear and scares away the cat. Over time the cat learns not to go near the protected area and hey presto, no more cat problem.

Summer Sun and Voyager Car Covers

2010-06-19T03:59:00.000-07:00

Our Voyager Range of Fitted and Tailored Car Covers are ideal for use over the summer, or in hot countries where sun can be a problem. Here in the UK temperatures rarely rise high enough to cause problems but in other countries, extreme UV can cause problems with paint fade and cause leather interiors to dry and crack.

Tree sap and bird fouling can also cause problems if left for any length of time. The sun will also compound the problems causing the acid to react and bake under the laquer of paintwork.

So well worth investing in a Voyager car cover for your car.

TOP 10 DONTS when buying a car cover

2010-05-30T03:49:00.000-07:00

The internet is full of companies telling you how great their car covers are, a lot of it has shocked us in terms of how much "bull" there is and here we hope to give some REAL advice on what to avoid.

1) Lots of companies sell general fit covers. They come in a generic box with Small, Medium, Large etc printed on and usually a list of cars on the back that the cover will fit. If you thought you were buying a fitted car cover and one of these boxes arrives, send it back, or call and ask the company who supplied it to collect it.

2) Dont buy a Polyurathane cover if you are going to use the car indoors. Also dont buy one if you are going to use it in a hot climate. The material wont be upto the job.

3) Avoid covers that have no method of securing it to your car other than a couple of holes at the hemline and a piece of rope which you pass under the car and tie. The rope will create a friction point as it moves and mark your paintwork. Look for a cover with integrated straps and protective silicone boots.

4) When fitting the cover Dont drag it along the floor or over the car. Start from the roof and fold down to each corner.

5) Always store the cover with the inside protected ( ie folding inwards ) and dont store it anywhere dusty, damp or dirty.

6) The inside of an outdoor cover shouldnt be soft and fluffy. You may initially think this is a good idea but it will attract and hold dirt, dust and moisture so over time, everytime you put the cover you risk scratching the car.

7) The inside SHOULD be a non woven material that wont hold moisture and dirt particles.

8) If its cheap, its cheap for a reason. Some of the worst covers we have seen are just sprayed with a waterproofing agent and are not waterproof at all. When it rains water pours through the cover, sometimes taking deposits of the agent with it which can leave marks on paint / soft top.

9)If you use your car daily, chances are if you cover it it will be dirty when you do so always clean it first.

10) Buy the best cover you can for the application required. If you use your car often and want to take it with you in the car go for something robust and light which compresses quite small. ( like our Voyager ) If your car is being stored outdoors long term, go for something a bit more heavy duty, ( like our Stormforce ) cover.

If in doubt give us a call on 01744 633985 or visit our website at http://www.coveryourcar.co.uk

Car Cover ( Solar Battery Charger Compatible )

2010-05-29T11:22:00.000-07:00

Soon we will be offering to customers, the option of a Solar Battery Power Charger Window in their Advantex Car Cover at the time of production. Using a Solar Battery Charger is an ideal was to keep your battery topped up, but you must choose the right one, there are lots of cheap solutions available to buy online which just arent upto the job. Our solution is a 4 Watt, foldable panel device that sits on the dash of your car, positioned next to the Car Cover Window. The device can either be plugged into the cigarette lighter socket or clipped directly to the battery under the bonnet with the wire threaded through the window.

Details of the recommended Solar Power Battery Charger can be found here

Tips on Choosing the right Car Cover

2010-05-09T13:00:00.000-07:00

So you have a nice car, you like to look after it and keep it clean. This makes sense as its an investment and there is no better way to protect it than a good quality fitted car cover. Finding the right one however can be an easy as scooping air into a heap. A quick search of the internet will reveal a variety of websites selling car covers, all claiming to be the best.

So you are surfing the net looking for the right cover. Here are some tips on do's and donts to help you avoid disappointment.

a) Dont buy the cover because it seems cheap. If its cheap, its cheap for a reason.

b) Dont buy a cover because of a special free offer or giveaway item, its the cover that you wanted to buy not a freebie.

c) Ensure the cover is a specific fit for your car. Many websites we have visited ( some very reputable and selling supposed custom fit covers ) ask you for your make and model and even year of car, do a search, then come up with the phrase "Medium Cover", this will be a generic fit so be warned.

d) Make sure the cover has a guarantee, 2 year if possible

e) Make sure the seller is actually there, ring them up if you can, ask for advice and get a feel for the customer service / backup

Car Covers are used indoors or outdoors or both. Indoor Covers protect from dust, dents and dings. In a garage damp or moisture generally rises from the floor so it needs to be breathbale so as not to trap any moisture underneith. The very best indoor car covers are Soft, Fleece and Stretch and fit the car like a second Skin. Our Softech Indoor Covers and like this and can be made in custom colours.

Outdoor car covers protect your car against acid rain showers, harsh UV rays, cats, kids playing football, acidic bird droppings and dust and dirt, even sand. A light weighed breathable car cover can be used in this instance, like our Voyager Car Cover. Also ideal if taking with you in the car and space is limited. ie small boot.

Registration Number on a Car Cover

2010-05-05T02:28:00.000-07:00

We are now able to PRINT you vehicle's registration number onto your next bespoke custom ADVANTEX outdoor car cover, front and back, if required. We can also professionally add a window into the cover so that your tax disc or parking permit will show through the cover.

Be wary, most places offering the "Window" option in car covers sell it as a kit, so when your cover arrives with you, "YOU" have to cut the cover and apply the window, usually with glue. Make a mess of it and the cover is in the bin and there is no come back on the seller because you have made a mistake... dont say we didnt warn you.

New Generation of Outdoor Car Covers

2010-04-28T11:29:00.000-07:00

We are pleased to introduce a brand new material to the UK for our "Guanti" range of fitted outdoor car covers. The material is Breathable, Waterproof AND Stretch and is a landmark in material technology, used only previously by the military.

Outdoor material by its nature was always non stretch and as such meant that covers never gave that same snug fit as soft fleece indoor covers. Well all that is about to change. The only draw back currently is the price as this material is very expensive and covers will retail for approx £400.

Watch this space for availability and further information.

Car Cover Reviews

2010-04-19T04:31:00.000-07:00

When looking for your next car cover quality and price are always going to be key. The best covers combine both together with a fit that is specific to the vehicle in question. That doesnt mean "Small", "Medium", or "Large", it means specific fit.

Here at Coveryourcar.co.uk we combine the best of both worlds, quality and fit at a price you can afford with thousands of specific patterns for specific vehicles.

a) Sahara Indoor Car Covers- A specific fittting indoor cover at a price you wont believe

b) Voyager Indoor/Outdoor Car Covers - An everyday use, lightweight fitted cover, compresses quite small and takes a lot of punishment on a daily basis.

c) Monsoon Outdoor Car Covers - Ideally for Winter use, waterproof and fitted and perfect for any car with a water getting inside issue. Not great in Extreme Heat like Spain or Australia.

d) Stormforce Outdoor Car Covers - Our 4 Layer waterproof and breathable fabric, again made to measure and amazing value for money, comes witha 2 year guarantee. Great in all temperatures.

Race Retro 2010

2010-03-14T04:19:00.000-07:00

A trip to Race Retro at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry on Saturday (13th March) by myself from Coveryourcar.co.uk did not dissappoint. The Rally Special circuit saw some classic cars from the slowly sideways organisation in action along with special invitation drivers.

Along with the Escorts, Mantas and Metros was the Alfa 147 from Howard Edwards @ Allitalia, a car valued at £5 million and we are proud to have supplied a bespoke Stormforce 4 Layer Car Cover for it.

Why Sponsor A Cycle Team?

2010-02-08T10:08:00.001-08:00

Quite often we are asked why we sponsor a cycle team rather than spend our advertising budget on printed media, adverts in magazines and the like. Well the answer is simple. Here at Coveryourcar.co.uk we like to think out of the box.

Pound for pound we get much more exposure and enjoy having a living breathing entity that promotes our website and our business. The riders are also on the road where the motorists are so are seen by hundreds each time they go out to ride. The team name and website is printed in all results magazines, start sheets, etc.

Also cycling is very "clicky", once a cyclist always a cyclist so they tend to be loyal and appreciate a company willing to put money back into a sport they love or have been involved with and as a result are more likely to buy from you.

British Cycling is on a high at the moment. What with the Golds at the Beijing Olympics and with the likes of SKY launching a UK based cycle team this year, led by Bradley Wiggins we want to share in that success in our own small way.

As the company grows we continue to look for alternative advertising media and solutions so if you have an idea that may not be the obvious... get in touch.

One of Our Favourite Quotes

Cover Frozen to your Car?

2010-01-08T09:22:00.001-08:00

With uk temperatures down to as low as -22 recently, here are some tips on using your car cover in these extreme conditions from us here at Coveryourcar.

1) Make sure your car is dry and free from moisture before fitting any cover. This can then freeze under the cover making it difficult to remove the cover without damaging it.

2) If you find your cover is frozen to your car, either use a hairdryer on a gentle heat to warm the frozen areas or some tepid water, poured over the outside of the cover. This will then enable you to remove the cover safely in one piece.

3) Our Stormforce car coversare amazingly tough, make sure when the cover it taken off the car it is left to dry somewhere. Dont store it wet or on the floor.

Good luck and take care out there from us all at Coveryourcar.co.uk

The Snow and the right kind of Car Cover

2010-01-06T15:00:00.000-08:00

Our 4 Layer Stormforce Car Covers are the perfect solution to the current snow and ice effecting motorists during the BIG FREEZE here in the UK at the moment. Many cheaper, generic fit covers can suffer under the weight of the Snow, causing them to rip, not ours. Our Stormforce covers come with a 2 year warranty and can stand upto even the coldest and frosty conditions.

A good fitting cover is important in these freezing conditions, especially snow, if it is to do the job of protecting your car successfully. Visit us at Coveryourcar.co.uk and protect your car from the snow and ice.

Dont let this happen to you! Use a Coveryourcar 4 Layer Fitted Car Cover!

Passionate about our Lancia

Big Freeze hits the UK in January

2010-01-04T14:14:00.000-08:00

The new year has brought freezing temperatures to the UK and chaos for motorists as a result as the drive to and from work becomes a nightmare. If there was ever a good time to buy a fitted car cover, now is it. A cover will keep your car free from ice and snow and save you from the early morning scrape.

Ice also can harm soft tops long term so covering it during these freezing times is a good idea. Always best to make sure your car is dry and not wet before covering it to prevent freezing. We have a great selection of products like blades and absorbers to help you get rid of the water first.

Car covers and Logos

2009-12-01T12:36:00.000-08:00

OK you've decided you want a nice, made to measure indoor car cover for your pride and joy complete with logo on the bonnet. You decide to do a bit of searching on the internet and phoning round and are met with sheepish replies...why? Because 9/10 its illegal but lots of companies turn a blind eye. ( Not Us )

Here are the answers you will get.
a) Sure no problem we will charge you £££ for doing it. ( Illegal )
b) If you provide the logo we will do it and charge you. ( You are breaking the law )
c) No we wont do it sorry as its a registered trademark and we dont have permission ( The right answer )

If you are prepared to take a risk and have the brand logo placed on your car cover you may at some point in the future receive a nice letter from the manufacturers solicitor demanding the goods back as they are counterfit plus thay may take action against you.

Dont say we didnt warn you.

Car Shelter or Car Cover?

2009-11-19T00:46:00.000-08:00

Lets look at some of the pros and cons of car covers against car shelters. In our mind the two offer completely different solutions, and with shelters there are some things you should be aware of before buying one.

Car Covers
==========
a) Car covers are totally portable, they can be taken round with you in your car and used at almost any location.
b) Covers in the main can be washed and cleaned.
c) The Best covers are waterproof and breathable so will keep your car dry.

Car Shelters
============
a) Buy one and find it wont fit in your space and you will be hit with a "heavy" return shipping fee
b) You may need planning permission or have to remove it later if a neighbour complains
c) Condensation and damp can rise from the floor, condense on the inside of the shelter and drip on your car, creating a damp environment in which your car sits.
d) Shelters can be very expensive and if you change your car, it then becomes useless.

So in our conclusion, a good cover is a better solution than a shelter.

Coveryourbike - Deserves a new server

2009-11-06T04:03:00.000-08:00

This year our venture into Motorcycle Covers has proved more successful than we could have ever imagined and our dedicated website Coveryourbike is being moved to a bigger and better server in the new year. Currently hosted with Fasthosts, it is limited in the back end payments side because of their "Limited" Mysql capability.

So, for the site to reach its full potential we are moving it to our Premium Service with another host in the new year, the same as Coveryourcar, so it will run faster and the final checkout stage will be easier and customers will have more ways to pay. We would have moved it sooner but wanted to wait until after Christmas to keep disruption to a minimum.

Top Tip : Anyone using Xcart dont use Fasthosts.

Worrying New Trend

2009-10-21T09:17:00.001-07:00

Here at Coveryourcar.co.uk we used to get the odd customer calling, asking which cover was best to help stop paint stripper being sprayed onto their car. We did some testing and basically we recommended a 100% waterproof cover ( our Monsoon Car Cover ) as most if not all of the paint stripper ran off the cover. This is particularly useful in a drive by event where stripper is sprayed from a moving vehicle.

Believe me this goes on more than you would think. The cover wasnt in a particulary good state after the event but it did work. Nowadays we get about 1 call a week so this is an ever increasing problem of mindless vandalism.

General Fit Car Covers

2009-10-18T11:52:00.000-07:00

Dont be confused with General Fit Covers and certain internet websites.

Some websites we have seen on the net now give the impression that are selling custom fitted and tailored car covers, but they arent! Just because their website is broken down into categories showing different manufacturers and specific vehicles doesnt mean covers are made specifically for that vehicle. It just means these makes and models will go into 1 of possible 5 different sizes, and not very well at that. If in doubt, ask how many individual patterns they have. 9 times out of 10 they will have small, medium, large, 4x4. That's if you get an honest answer.

Here at Coveryourcar.co.uk we have one of the largest car cover inventories in the UK.

As an example we have 3 different patterns JUST for the Mazda MX5, depending on its age ( mk1, mk2, mk3 ) and also 3 different VW Beetle Cover patterns, again depending on age.

Car Covers is all we do!

Stormforce Car Cover Integrated Alarm

2009-10-11T02:59:00.000-07:00

Protect your car cover from being stolen and protect your car at the same time. Alarm activates when cover is removed by thief or vandal BEFORE he even gets to your car! ONLY available from us here at WWW.COVERYOURCAR.CO.UK

This is particularly useful if you have a classic car and dont want to fit an alarm to the car because it will de value the car. No need to drill holes, fit sensors, fit sirens.

Cats and Cars

2009-10-09T14:24:00.000-07:00

Its starting to get cold out there at night and as a result, cats are on the prowl looking for nice warm cars to perch on. So your car is a potential victim of scratching and clawing, especially if its a soft top. First thing you will know about it is when thin swirl like scratches appear on the bonnet or roof or bumper. Cats will dig their claws into your car to prevent sliding off. The solution is to use a Voyager Car Cover from us here at CoverYourCar

Why? Because...

a) Cats hate the material and tend to avoid it, thus staying away.
b) The Material is triple layer cross weave type and wont puncture.
c) Cats find it difficult to get their claws through the material.

So protect your car from cats today with a Voyager Car Cover from us here at www.coveryourcar.co.uk

Towels and Blankets? NO NO NO!

2009-10-02T11:27:00.000-07:00

Had a call today from a customer who apparently had been told by one of the major high street auto retailers to put blankets or even towels on his car before he fitted the cover they sold to stop the cover scratching his car or damaging his soft top. This is wrong in so many ways...

a) If the cover marks the car its obviously a poor fitting cover ( general fit as per most general motor stores ) or its a poor quality with poor quality inner.

b) Anything like this placed on the car under a car cover will become damp and hold moisture against the paint which is not good for your car.

Either way this is bad advise and what you can expect from retailers who dont know anything about car covers, other than they hope to cover their backs because they have been told to do so by "the management". Please people, spend some decent money, buy a decent cover and dont listen to any bull.

Due to high demand recently we are now at maximum capacity and customers can expect to wait 3 to 4 weeks for their cover to be completed. These covers fit like a second skin and are totally bespoke, one offs made to your exact specification, in terms of fit, colour and piping.

Garages and Car Covers

2009-09-10T10:59:00.001-07:00

Chances are if you store your car in a garage the main problem you have is static air and damp rising from the floor. If you use an indoor car cover then this will keep the dust and dirt off it and protect it from little accidental prangs and scratches while brushing past it. The car cover must be breathable as damp that rises from the floor must be able to escape from underneith the car cover.

We have found the best solutions are to seal the floor with a concrete paint and or fit a plastic membrane. This can be bought from any hardware store. Look for the type that goes under laminate flooring as this is quite thick and will stand the test of time.

This will help to keep the damp out and your car pristine.

Sierra RS Cosworth Mk1 Car Cover

2009-09-02T07:41:00.000-07:00

After much trial and effort we now have a fitted pattern for the Sierra RS Cosworth Mk1, the one with the huge rear spoiler. Available in 4 Layer Stormforce for outdoor use or Sahara for indoor use, both available with security alarm add on.. a must for this type of car. The rear spoiler will always cause a problem with any outdoor cover as water will pool in the gap between the rear windscreen and spoiler edge putting stress on the material. We have found the best solution is to place a curved object ( non scratch ) over the rear spoiler before fitting cover, that way the water will just run off it.

Buying a Fitted Car Cover from the US

2009-08-14T05:57:00.000-07:00

You may be looking for a new car cover for your pride and joy and appart from avoiding the cheap and cheerful covers that may do more harm than good, what else should you consider?

If buying a cover from an overseas supplier, many companies and manufacturers have policies where if your covers becomes faulty, you have to return it for inspection or repair. This can be very expensive if you have to send a 4 kilo package to the states for example costing you £40 upwards. This also applies quite often if you buy a US manufactured cover from a UK supplier. If in doubt ASK!

Last night (4th June), Alex Royle of the coveryourcar.co.uk cycle team, missed the National Juvenile 10 mile record by a single second.

In the East Bradford CC event held on the V310 between Tadcaster and York he recorded a time of 20:14. This placed him second overall in the event behind Team I-Ride's former Junior 25 National Champion, Julian Ramsbottom who recorded 19:45.

In the next few weeks Royle hopes to beat the record of 20:13 held by Ceri Pritchard since 1993.

Car Covers with built in Alarm

2009-04-23T00:38:00.000-07:00

We found this news article from the BBC online where a poor woman from Plymouth had had her car vandalised by mindless thugs who poured paint and stripper and to finish off keyed the car. This is partly why we developed our car cover alarm, so that if the cover is removed it activates, so protecting your car and your cover before anything happens.

Nasty

2009-03-04T03:51:00.000-08:00

We have had an alarming number of calls lately from car owners who are having their pride and joy targetted by thugs. From the classic keying to drive by spraying with paint stripper. Hard to believe this still goes on but it does and there is very little you can do to stop it. OK CCTV may be a deterant but isnt really the answer. As a result we have developed an integrated alarm that sits insude the car or motorbike cover, protected from the elements, which activates if the cover is removed by someone other than yourself.

Pearl Cleaning Products

2009-02-20T06:09:00.000-08:00

We are currently testing some products by a UK company called Pearl. Probably the best kept secret in car care, these products are used nationally by hundreds of dealerships and valeting companies. They claim their products clean 15,000 cars a week so we decided to test them out with a view to maybe selling them direct to the public.

First off was Pearl Shine, a wash and wax style product that dries leaving the car with no steaks and a visible glossy coating. Have to say it left the little Fiat 500 looking very clean, even the windows dried with no streaks.

Then we used Pearl Pro Shine, a spray on, light wax which is easy to apply and remove and leaved no residue. We used it on the car, windows and wheels and have to say its fantastic.

Watch for the Pearl products for sale on our website, something this good cant remain a secret!
