As a rule of thumb, the front and rear bumpers must be covered last. This is especially important for classic coupes and roadsters, as the cover may not be able to fit properly if you start at the bumpers. Preferably, you should start with the roof and windows first, followed by the front and rear of the car. If the cover has pockets for mirrors, place the pockets over the mirror first.
A universal cover, which is also known as the “ready fit” cover or “semi-custom” cover, is designed to fit over a variety of vehicles within a certain size group. Custom-fit covers, on the other hand, are especially tailored for a particular vehicle make or model.
Universal car covers are inexpensive and are compatible with various Pontiac models, but they do not have that tailored look of custom-fit covers. Universal fit covers are also limited in terms of color and fabric options, while custom covers provide a wider array of colors, fabrics, and minor details such as pockets for mirrors and antennas that are unique to a specific model.
While it does sound hard to believe, covering your Pontiac with a car cover can actually lessen the chance of it being stolen. Thieves need to get into the vehicle, start it, and drive off as fast as possible to reduce the risk of being caught, but with a car cover, thieves are discouraged to try and steal the car because it will take them more time by removing the cover. Most covers sold in the market also come with a lock and cable mechanism for added security.
In addition, because the car cover shrouds the entire vehicle, radios and other valuable items inside the vehicle are out of sight and less likely to get noticed by would-be thieves.
Modern car covers are made of fabrics specifically designed to prevent scratches, but they will still scratch the finish if installed over a dirty car. Dust and dirt trapped in between the paint surface and car cover can rub against the paint, resulting in unsightly fine lines in the finish. So before installing a cover on your Pontiac, make sure to have it washed first or at least undergo a quick dusting.
It is absolutely not recommended to put on a cover on a vehicle while the exhaust pipes are still hot. If the exhaust is not cooled enough, it may damage the cover or, even worse, cause a fire hazard. Car cover manufacturers also typically do not cover warranties for fire damage. So before installing your car cover, check the exhaust first.
While car covers usually come with cleaning instructions, basically all you have to do is to put the dirty cover with 1/4 cup of all purpose cleaner in a washer, fill it warm water, and let it spin. Rinse the cover twice to completely remove the cleanser. Take note, however, not to use a washer with a center agitator or immerse the cover with fabric softener as this may damage the cover material. Also, make sure to clean your Pontiac’s car covers regularly. Dirty car covers can cause the windshield and paint to become dirty and fogged and nullify any water resistant properties the cover may have had.
To properly fold a car cover, fold each side up onto the roof and refold it until the material is around 2 feet in length. Then, beginning at the front of the vehicle, fold the cover towards the back in 3-foot increments. Doing so will prevent the cover from dragging over the car’s surface and make it easier to reinstall it later on.
Putting on a wet cover on your Pontiac is fine if the cover is made of breathable fabric. In fact, car cover manufacturers recommend drying covers by draping it over the vehicle as the moisture on the car’s surface will evaporate right through the cover material.
