I doubt for hot sun or rain daily, unless you work near docks where sand blasting kills the paint and glass. Most won't want to cover it and remove daily.

oh, its an old car i seldom use but new paintwork done recently, wont like the shine deteriorate under hot sun and rains etc..... actually even removing it daily (not done in a hurry) is not too troublesome for me.....

Just apply a good sealant or wax should be better. Cuz if u accidentally let any moisture get under the cover and stay there for a long time it can damage the paint. Usually using these covers also will inflict alot of swirls in the paint.

I got my car cover at Mustafa around $20+. Got it about 2yrs ago when I going for ICT and car parked at Tuas Naval Base for about 10days. Nearby TNB has sand blasting going on so no choice, also area is near to sea too.

 

Need to tie tightly to the rims area.Another Navy colleague bought 1 from Autobacs but did not do so, when he comes back, his car cover was blown away and torn as the sea breeze is very strong. His white car was covered with dust and also paint marks... [bigcry] Can use those blig clips to clip it down inaddition to the string sewn onto the cover.

talking about winds and anchoring the cover, years ago i more kiasu: ran ropes from roof of car one round thru the undercarriage and back to the roof.....tied the cover like bakjang (rice dumpling) wraps :o
