Why is everyone ranting and raving about custom car covers? What do they have that makes them so special?
These are most likely the questions that go through your mind when you begin the task of buying a cover for your car. So what is the answer?
First let me explain what the other options are and then why the custom ones are better. You can get universal, semi-custom, or custom covers. Universal fits any car, big or small. Semi-customs are made for a selection of vehicles that are similar in shape and size. Personalized, it is made for you and your car.
Universal covers are the cheapest in the range. However, they cannot provide the same type of protection as others, since the cover was not made with your car in mind. That is, the cover can sometimes be too big, or a little too small, so the whole car is not covered and some parts may stick out.
Semi-customs provide better protection since they naturally have a better fit. However, there will often still be a small space inside the covers, and this leaves an opening for things like dust etc. to enter, despite the cover.
On the other hand, a custom cover will 100% fit the car and be a snug and cozy fit, giving you the most protection possible. There is no chance of dust, rain or other unwanted things getting into your car and messing it up. If you order a custom one, you will get a cover that has taken into account your mirrors, antenna, etc. and made pockets for them. You’ll also be more protected and protected from bumps and scratches, and the material isn’t baggy.
You can select the material, as well as the color. Quite often, you will even be given the option to personalize the cover by putting a logo of your choice on the front. This gives your car a sleek and elegant appearance, even while protected from the harsh elements of nature.
A custom cover will also prevent nosy people from checking and getting into your car at night. There’s no room for them to take a “quick look” and so they can’t tell if it’s worth the risk and they’ll leave their car. While a universal and semi-custom cover, you could still check if they wanted. So having a custom feature is also security!
So of course, like everything that is made to measure, the quality is better. Since they’re doing it with a specific customer in mind, you’re not just off the machine. More care and attention is given to making it which makes it of a superior quality.
Although it may seem more expensive in the store, over time you will find that you have saved money on replacements, extra cleaning, etc. It is certainly a worthwhile investment.
