Car Cover Fabric Selection

Custom Car Cover in Stormproof Fabric Stormproof is an UNCOATED and UNTREATED car cover. This means that even after months or years of use, it will have the same properties as when new. Stormproof feels more like an expensive golf jacket, yet is tested to be the MOST WATER RESISTANT and (because there are no coatings) the MOST BREATHABLE. This is our most popular custom car cover fabric. Provides exceptional protection both indoors and outdoors. Stormproof is the only car cover material we can suggest for any climate or car cover need - it excels in every area except protection from dings and hail (in which case we recommend Coverbond4). Stormproof will last for years, and will compliment your vehicle.

 

Custom Car Cover in Satin Stretch Fabric Satin Stretch is an Indoor Custom Car Cover fabric.  It will fade if exposed to extended sunlight, and is not water resistant.  Satin Stretch is the SOFTEST  fabric available and has Lycra yarns to hug every contour of a vehicle.  Blind stitching results in invisible seams - this is a LUXURIOUS car cover!  Satin Stretch Custom Car Covers are made for vehicles parked indoors, and for owners who want nothing but the very best for their vehicle.   

 

Custom Car Cover in Mosom Fabric Mosom Plus is a 4 layer Custom Car Cover fabric. The outer 2 layers are Spunbond Polypropylene, the middle layer is a special micro-porous film and the inside layer is super-soft fabric. The middle film layer is an excellent rain barrier, while allowing for vapors to pass through. It is a great choice for all-round car cover use, suggested for most conditions except extreme sun, snow or ice - in which case we suggest Stormproof.

 

Custom Car Cover in Silverguard Plus Fabric Silverguard Plus is a 300 Denier Polyester material with a reflective, water resistant coating on the outer layer and a soft, non-abrasive layer on the inside.  It is a great choice for all-around car cover use, suggested for most conditions except extreme rain, snow or ice.   300 Denier is a strong, heavy weave which will not rip or tear easily.  The silver coating on Silverguard Plus does an excellent job of reflecting sunlight, while keeping rain and animal droppings from damaging the vehicle finish.  The special soft inner layer pampers the most delicate paint finish. 

 

Custom Car Cover in Coverbond4 Fabric Coverbond4 Four layers make Coverbond4 a very thick and bulky Custom and Semi-Custom Car Cover. It is not suggested for daily users, or for people with large SUVs. However, the extra bulk helps to guard against minor nicks and dings, and even helps in light hail. Coverbond4 is suggested for moderate weather or indoor use.

 

Custom Car Cover in Triguard Fabric Triguard is a three layer Custom and Semi-Custom Car Cover material suited for light weather conditions (perfect for occasional use or vehicles stored under a carport). Triguard is fairly soft and very compact. Do not use Triguard in harsh weather or sun.

 

Coverguard (not pictured) is the most economical solution for protecting your vehicle. The COVERGUARDŽ cover is made of spun-bond polypropylene fibers, treated to resist UV rays. This entry-level car cover has virtually replaced all other economy covers in the market due to its high value at a low cost. Recommended for indoor use or occasional outdoor use in light weather climates.

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.
