If you have other drivers parking near your covered car you may also consider....

Coverzone's Unique Side Protection System.

If you have ever had a nice shiny car in near perfect condition and worried that someone is going to park next to you and jam their car door into your car's bodywork then this is for you!
Coverzone have now developed a side protection buffer system that they can install in your new cover prior to despatch. This clever option permanently fixes a strip of high impact buffer pads along the side of the car in the door and side panel area where they are most vulnerable to door dings and scuffs.

The buffer pads are permanently fitted to the cover with double stitching and whilst they do not absolutely guarantee that your car will remain in pristine condition, they will provide much more protection in all those visible areas that are both costly and difficult to repair.
Once we receive the order for your new cover with side protection system we will take a stock cover and our skilled machinists will add the option to the inner lining on both sides. The cover will be a little bulkier when folded but the pads cleverly concertina closed when not in use so handling and storage of the cover is still a breeze.

As autumn sweeps in with its vibrant colours and brisk air, car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike find themselves in a picturesque season. However, amidst the beauty of falling leaves lies a hidden danger that can wreak havoc on your vehicle's paintwork. We understand the importance of maintaining your car's aesthetic appeal and resale value, which is why we want to highlight the effects of leaves on your car's paintwork.

The Problem of Staining and Discolouration

While leaves may look charming scattered across your driveway, they can cause serious problems for your car’s paint. The natural tannins and other compounds in leaves can leach out, especially when wet, leading to unsightly stains on your vehicle's surface. Regularly applying a protective layer, such as a high-quality wax or sealant, can help shield your paint from these stains, but proactive car paintwork protection is your best defence.

Rust Formation: A Hidden Threat

Moisture trapped by decaying leaves can create the perfect breeding ground for rust. When leaves pile up on your car, they can hold moisture against the paint and metal surfaces, leading to corrosion over time. This is where a durable car cover becomes indispensable. By providing an extra layer of protection, our car covers help prevent leaves from making contact with your vehicle, reducing the risk of rust formation.

Indents and Etching: Protect Your Investment

Heavy leaf accumulation can lead to physical damage, including scratches and indents. These imperfections not only mar the beauty of your car but can also lead to costly repairs down the line. Investing in a sturdy car cover can prevent leaves from scratching and etching the paintwork, ensuring your vehicle remains in top condition through the autumn months.

Mechanical Issues from Clogged Components

While the focus is often on paintwork protection, it's important to recognise that leaves can cause mechanical issues as well. Clogged air intakes and drain tubes can affect your vehicle's performance, add to repair costs and cause bodywork rot. By using a quality car cover, you can keep leaves and debris from entering these crucial components, protecting your car's overall functionality.

The Time and Effort of Cleaning

With leaves constantly falling, maintaining your car's appearance can quickly become a labour-intensive task. Regular washing and detailing are essential to prevent the negative effects of leaves on your paintwork. However, proactively using a car cover can significantly reduce the frequency of cleaning, saving you time and effort while ensuring your car remains pristine.

As you embrace the beauty of autumn, don't let falling leaves jeopardise the condition of your vehicle. Car paintwork protection is essential to safeguard your investment and keep your car looking its best. At Coverzone, we offer a range of high-quality, breathable car covers designed to provide the ultimate protection against the elements, including those pesky autumn leaves.
