Car Cover Fabric Selection

Sunbrella is the BEST car cover you can ever hope to use in intense
sun areas, like Arizona and other areas of the sun-belt where UV rays will rapidly
degrade the paint and interior of a vehicle. Thanks to it's unique construction process
Sunbrella provides protection, and years of service for your pampered vehicle.
Because of the use of acrylic fibers, which are naturally UV resistant, Sunbrella
has also long been the recognized leader in long-wearing marine fabrics for bimini covers,
boat covers and deck enclosures. Besides marine and automotive uses, Sunbrella is also
used for commercial awnings due to it's ability in providing UV blockage with a
rich, woven finish. The acrylic fibers are solution dyed, before the fabric is woven,
to assure the color goes all the way through the fabric. Using a special finish process,
the material is then softened for use as a car cover fabric. The fabric is exceptionally
strong and coupled with it's UV resistance it also makes an excellent cover for RV's and
trailers that spend extended time stored outside. This means that even after months or
years of use, it will have the same properties as when new. Provides exceptional protection
both indoors and outdoors. Sunbrella car covers are breathable and water, rot and mildew resistant!

WeatherShield®HP is the ultimate outdoor Custom Car Cover fabric that just got
even better! The worldwide patented EPIC by Nextec® finish helps shed moisture
and stops dust, dirt and tree sap from reaching your vehicles finish. The fabric "breathes"
to allow moisture, condensation and heat to easily escape from under the cover. The
encapsulation technology goes INSIDE the fabric, around the fibers, resulting in a silky
smooth finish that glides over fine paint finishes. Color permanency is the key to
our new WeatherShield®HP - the color is extruded INSIDE the fibers for maximum fade resistance,
NOT a surface dye coating. The result is a cover that's provides all-weather protection,
machine washable, fade resistant AND environmentally friendly! The fabric sheds water as soon
as it hits the cover, has an extremely quick dry time, is breathable, extremely UV resistant,
dust-proof, scratch-less, durable and lightweight! Also available in 2-Tone colors upon special
request.

NOAH® is a excellent Custom Car Cover fabric. NOAH barrier fabric actually stops water,
yet it "breathes" to allow any trapped moisture, seam seepage or condensation to easily evaporate.
The unique construction process (patent pending) results in a cover with maximum all-weather
protection...highly water resistant, dust resistant, UV resistant and breathable to make sure
moisture and/or heat don't stay under the cover. Made in the U.S. by Kimberly-Clark, the fabric
weighs only 4.75 oz./sq. yd., so it's easy to handle and fold, yet also provides a little
extra bulk to offer some ding protection. It is a great choice for
all-round car cover use, suggested for most conditions except extreme sun.

Technalon/Evolution is our most popular custom and semi-custom
cover fabric! It is a great choice for all-around car cover use, suggested
for most conditions except extreme rain, snow or ice. Technalon® covers,
made with Kimberly-Clark's Evolution® 4-layer non-woven polypropylene fabric,
provide great protection in most weather conditions. Often imitated, but never
equaled, U.S. made Evolution fabric covers are used by millions of satisfied car
enthusiasts around the world. The 4-layer thickness absorbs impacts better
than any other vehicle cover fabric to help protect the finish from nicks, dings,
dents and scratches.

Deluxe 380 / Block-It fabric is Kimberly-Clark's newest film barrier fabric,
offering great performance at a competitive price. At 3.2 ounces per square yard
it's about half the weight of the popular high-performance NOAH® fabric. The
three-layer construction uses inner and outer layers of spunbond, sandwiching a
middle layer protective film barrier. The film barrier has microscopic holes,
smaller than droplets of water (and most dust particles) to stop moisture, but
still allow any moisture vapor or heat to easily escape from under the cover.
Durable and breathable, this cover is water, dust and UV resistant to offer
indoor or outdoor protection at a lesser cost.

Car Cover Fit Selection
There are several differences between Custom Fit Car Covers and Semi-Custom
Fit Car Covers. Which cover you should select should be determined by your
own judgment in the trade-off between economy, warranty period, appearance
and fit.
Custom Fit Car Covers
A Custom Fit cover provides the BEST Fit and is made for your exact vehicle and
will not fit any other vehicle. Most custom fit car covers will have built-in
mirror pockets which will give you a more secure fit. Some of our custom fit
covers for older model vehicles will not have mirror pockets installed, while
others will. If not already indicated in your model selection, you may
contact us for verification. In most cases, our custom covers do not cost too
much more than our semi-custom fit covers and you will find that a longer
warranty, additional material and color options are available. Custom car
cover patterns are available for most stock vehicles, but if you have an
antique, rare, exotic or modified automobile we can design a custom cover for
you. A custom cover is definitely recommended for the car enthusiast whether
your need is for indoor or outdoor coverage.
Semi-Custom Fit Car Covers
A Semi-Custom Fit cover is designed to fit your vehicle and other vehicles of
similar size. With the exception of a few select sizes, most of the
semi-custom covers will not have mirror pockets. The semi-custom fit may be a
near perfect fit or it may be slightly roomy. These covers still provide good
coverage for the customer interested in protection for their vehicle at a
lesser cost.
Making The Choice
With the above in mind, you're ready to search for your car
make and model in our extensive online database. All of our most popular
covers will be presented to you with full pricing and warranty details, but
if you want a truly custom cover constructed of a fabric not listed or for a
vehicle not in our database, we've still got you covered! Just follow any of
the contact us links you'll find throughout our
site, and tell us about your needs. Our top priority is to deliver a car cover
that meets with your 100% satisfaction, whether you're covering the grocery
getter, a cherished antique vehicle, or your tricked out street rod.
