CAR COVERS
|
|
|
|
|
|
First Class Additions' carcovers are
specially designed to protect the non-average car during storage, which is
why they are well-known and used in the field of classic and exotic cars. But
we also experience an increasing interest from "regular car" owners
who discover the advantages of a good carcover.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A quality carcover must fulfill at
least following requirements:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
breathable material
|
|
|
non-scratching
|
|
|
non-hygroscopic (should not absorb
moisture)
|
|
|
dusttight
|
|
|
good fit
|
|
|
|
|
On top of the above, an outdoor
cover must also be watertight and UV-resistant.
|
|
|
|
|
Breathable
|
|
|
It is essential for a carcover to be made
of well-breathable material to allow condensation to escape when it
evaporates (more about condensation under "Facts and Fiction") Luckily, most people nowadays are aware of this
and leave the cheap but unbreathable nylon and PVC covers for what they are.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-scratching
|
|
|
One would think a soft inner lining to
prevent scratches goes without saying, but how many carcovers can you find
that actually do have this?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-hygroscopic
|
|
|
The material must be moisture-repellant -
even for an indoor cover! If the material absorbs and/or retains moisture
(like cotton) it will lie on the car like a damp cloth. A cotton cover can
only be used in a completely dry room, which in our climate means in a heated
room. This is why a good universal carcover should not contain cotton.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dust tight
|
|
|
Because first of all it is mostly dust
and dirt the car should be protected from. Any woven material lets some dust
through the weaving holes, therefore a non-woven material offers better
protection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Good fit
|
|
|
The cover must have the proper dimensions
for the car and have facilities to keep the cover in place. It should not
touch the floor as this may cause scratches from dirt and sand next time you
put the cover over the car, and it should not blow away with every slight
breeze or each time you open the garage door.
|
|
|
|
|
Whilst other carcovers fullfill only one
or two of the above requirements, the First Class Addditions carcovers are
made of specially developed materials fullfilling all of these
requirements. This makes them stand out positively compared to other
products.
Our carcovers can be divided into two
main groups i.e.
carcovers
for indoor use (Supertex)
and
carcovers
for outdoor use (Moltex)
Beside these two main ranges we also
offer various covers for special projects, made to measure of the customer's
specific needs. Examples: reveal-covers, traffic jam prevention covers (the
damaged vehicle is covered to prevent "watch" jams), covers for
Clubs with Club logo, etc.
