  • Do not use the car cover if it is damp, especially if it is wet inside, okay? Always dry it in the sun and only use it when it is completely dry. Moisture can rust the bodywork;
  • Do not put the cover on if the car engine is still warm. The moisture from the engine heat can form a layer of moisture between the car and the hood, which, as we said above, is not cool for bodywork;
  • Do not use covers on newly painted cars. Always ask the workshop what the most suitable waiting period for the type of paint and paint done to avoid any damage to the car;
  • Make sure that the cover does not leak. They can stain the bodywork;
