7 Top Reasons to Protect Your Vehicle Using a Car Cover.

November 18, 2020 by Miriam Dunning Leave a Comment

Ensuring that your car is well maintained and shielded from damage, and wear and tear are critical so as to maintain it in mint condition.

However, arriving at a decision on whether or not one needs a cover kit replacement or not and getting to select a suitable one can be a daunting and frustrating task.

This guide is aimed at providing a clear and better understanding of the benefits that car covers can provide to their owners.

Advantages of Using Suitable Cover Kit Replacements to Protect Your Car.

A damaged car provides a number of inconveniences, the top one being increased vehicle depreciation. Mechanical issues also tend to be prevalent if a car owner doesn’t carry out due diligence to protect their vehicle.

One way of ensuring that damage to a vehicle’s exterior is kept to a bare minimum is by investing in cover kit replacements.

Here are some things a cover kit can protect your vehicle from:

Bird Droppings

Bird droppings can cause the reduction of a car’s paint quality if left uncleaned for too long. This is because bird droppings contain uric acid, with a pH level of between 3 and 4.5. The acidity contained in uric acid acts as a corrosive that can damage a car’s paint and coating.

Air Pollution

Pollen, dust, and dirt can be a menace especially during the summer and spring seasons. Forcing car owners to wash their cars often. Having your motorcycle, car, or boat covered ensures a reduction in the frequency of washing.

Dog and Cat Claws

For pet owners, it is common to spot scratches on the car’s paintwork caused by dogs and cats. This tends to occur when the pets are playing and running around. Investing in a replacement cover kit ensures the reduction of consistent scratches on the car’s paint and coating.

Industrial Fallout 

Car owners who happen to live near industrial zones will tend to spot metal particles that have settled and bonded to their vehicle’s paintjob. This affects and discolors a vehicle’s coating and painting.

Ultraviolet Rays

An exposed car to the naked sun tends to have a faded paint job over time. Most automobiles have UV filtering. However, gradually a car’s clear coat will break down as a result of excess sunlight, causing the paint job to be less vibrant.

Theft Deterrence

Using cover kit replacements to cover your truck, motorcycle or car to make it less conspicuous can come in handy. Having a car cover can discourage thieves from attempting to steal a car since it will attract too much attention to them.

Protection from the Effects of Rain, Hail, Water Sprinklers, and Snow

Quality cover kit replacements are those that are water repellant ensuring that water doesn’t cause rusting in the long run. During winter, it also gets easy to remove snow that is contained by cover kit replacements. This provides convenient and fast access to drive off if one is in a hurry.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Cover Kit Replacements.

Using a replacement cover kit to protect and shelter your boat, motorcycle, car, or truck. Makes your automobile ownership experience more enjoyable.

Car owners should keep in mind that, choosing a car cover or replacement cover kit wholly depends on one’s intended use.

  • Establishing your protection needs.
  • Picking the style and material.
  • Determining your car’s length by measuring its bumper to bumper.

How To Trim Off Needless Costs of Car Ownership

October 15, 2017 by Miriam Dunning Leave a Comment

Just buying a car can be expensive enough, without the monthly costs of actually running it. For anyone looking at ways in which they can save money each month, trimming down the costs of running your car are very important as these can often be the biggest spends. Now, there are some areas which you cannot trim, unless you have an emergency, such as if you have taken out finance on your car. If you do have finance and you are struggling with payments, contact the lender to see if you can renegotiate the terms. Other than the finance, there are many ways in which you can trim down on monthly costs.

Gas

Gas in the car is one of your biggest monthly expenditures but there are many ways in which you can manage things to ensure that you bring the costs down to a minimum.

  • Driving Style – If you are an erratic driver who drives at high speeds, brakes late and over-rev the car, you are using a huge amount of gas in doing so. Drive safely to minimize how much gas you are using.
  • Car Pooling – Car pooling to work or using it for the school run is an eco-friendly and cost effective way of reducing how much money you spend on gas each month.
  • Cheap Fuel – If you shop around your local gas stations, you will see that the price of gas varies greatly, find the cheapest and make sure that you use it.

Washing

Throwing $10 per week to get your car cleaned may not seem like much but you can easily save this $500 per year if you do it yourself. Car washing is not hard and you don’t need any high tech equipment to be able to do it. Spend a couple of hours on a weekend, giving you car the love and car that it needs, and save yourself plenty of money in the mean time.

Check-Ups

There is little worse than having something go wrong with your car, especially if you are not financially ready for it. In order to minimize the risk of something going wrong, make sure that you take the car to the garage for check-ups, before long journeys, and before a harsh winter. Mechanics can spot potential problems and if you nip them in the bud early, you can greatly reduce the chance of your car breaking down.

Gadgets

There are all manner of gadgets out there on the market which you can put inside your car from tech items, to air fresheners, and everything in between. The key here is to simply ask yourself whether you really need such an item in your car. Usually the answer to this question will be no and you can avoid getting sucked in to buying things which you don’t need, if you follow the 10 second rule. When you see something which you want to buy, hold it in your hand for 10 seconds and think about whether or not your need it, nine times out of ten, the answer will be no.

Be vigilant about how much you are spending on your car, and you can reduce it in no time.
