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
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?
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
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
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.

Guanto Bespoke Outdoor Car Covers
Our new GUANTO Bespoke Car Covers for Outdoor or Indooor Use is a huge step forwards in terms of car cover fabric offering the same form fit, curve hugging shape as an indoor cover but outdoors.
The fabric is stretch and both breathable yet waterproof thanks to its hi-tech inner membrane with millions of micropores, small enough for vapour to pass through yet too small for a water droplet. Each cover is custom made to order and is available in either black or grey currently. We can also print onto this material. This material will be available to the public shortly, but expect to pay between £350 and £400 for one.

Keep Cat's Off Your Car or Car Cover
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
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
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. See also our recent Blog Checklist on what to look for when buying a cover for use in a Hot Climate
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 or even better a hemline securing system which will take pressure off the strap to cover attachment point.
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 or Voyager PLUS) If your car is being stored outdoors long term, go for something a bit more heavy duty, ( like our Stormforce or Stormforce PLUS ) cover.
11) If you are looking to invest in a really good cover then go down the Custom Fit or Bespoke Route, these usually take weeks to produce and come in a variety of colours. Like our Advan-Tex or Cielo Covers
12) If you are going to use your cover on the highway then you will need to display your number plates, this is the law. You will also need to consider displaying a parking permit if this applies to you. Taking this into account our Advan-Tex covers can come with window panels to display all these as an optional upgrade.

Tips on Choosing the right Car Cover
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.
For longer term outdoor storage, a Monsoon, Stormforce or Advantex cover should be used, these are Waterproof yet breathable and have a soft, brushed inner.
Our covers have advanced to the degree where they can be custom made to accomodate a single wing mirror, non removable aerial, parking permits, number plates, custom printing, alarmed and or locked.
Here is a list of our best selling car cover marques..
Car Covers for Aston Martin, Porsche, Jaguar, BMW and Mercedes
Once you have purchased your car cover you need to take care of it properly in order for it to take care of your car. Be careful where you put your car cover when not on the vehicle and make sure its not left on the floor and its dry before you store it. Here is a great video we found on cleaning your car cover...View Video

Registration Number on a Car Cover
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
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.

Race Retro 2010
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?
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
The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

Cover Frozen to your Car?
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
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!

Big Freeze hits the UK in January
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.
