Car cover fabric performance
Car cover fabric performance can be severely affected by dirt that builds up on and within the material. It can cause the windshield and paint to become dirty and “fogged”. A “wicking” effect can occur where it actually helps pull water through the fabric. This winl nullifying any water resistant properties the fabric may have had. Cleaning your cover will help to keep your vehicle clean and increase the service life of the cover. Before installing a car cover, ensure your car is dirt and dust free . Dust particles and dirt caught between a cover and your vehicle's paintwork can cause abrasions to paintwork.
