Shopping for Volkswagen Car Cover
FAQs—Volkswagen Car Cover
- I’m not sure whether I should go for a lighter weight Volkswagen car cover or choose a thicker, heavier cover. I’ll be covering up the vehicle every day, and I’m parking outside the house. What would be the best option for me?
- We get a lot of sun from where I live. What type of car cover would be best for my VW with this type of weather?
- I’m shopping for a new car cover, but I’m not sure what kind of features to look for in a certain fabric. Any good tip?
- I found some dirty spots on the car cover. How can I spot clean the cover effectively?
- I washed a thin, lightweight cover using my washing machine, and it got torn apart. I had to replace it because of the breaks and tears that let in dirt and moisture into the car when covered. I just bought a new one. How can I safely and properly clean it?
- Is it safe to spin the washed cover in a dryer?
- How often should I clean my car cover? Do I have to wash it every week?
A lightweight outdoor car cover would be an ideal choice for you. It’s easier to use because it’s light, which means you’ll have less trouble removing it and putting it on. You can usually fold it in a breeze, which helps a lot if you’ll be using the cover regularly. However, if you’re concerned about the dings and dents the car may get when parked outside, especially in a crowded area, a thicker cover may be a better choice for you.
If you live in a sunny area, you should be looking for a cover that offers photo degradation protection and has good UV-resistant features and reflective properties. It should also have good resistance against milder growth, fading, and water or moisture. This is the most practical option for you. This will keep the vehicle not only safe from dings and dents but also from the harsh rays of the sun, which may ruin the car’s finish and other parts over time.
Consider breathability when shopping for a good cover. The fabric should let air flow freely to prevent heat from getting trapped. Although you want the cover to be tough and to block dust and dirt, it should still have a non-abrasive layer to prevent damage on the paint surface. The best types of fabric for the car cover are treated to be mildew/mold resistant and to prevent water from easily getting through. The fabric shouldn’t tear apart easily and shouldn’t take long to dry.
You need a clean, soft rag or cloth for spot-cleaning the cover. Fix a mild soapy solution where the cloth will be soaked gently. Use the cloth to remove dirt. For stains, you have to scrub them gently in circular motions. If you spot-clean the cover from time to time, you’ll have less trouble washing it.
Use mild detergent or all-purpose cleaner for cleaning the cover. With a soft cloth, wipe away dirt and grime. If it’s already filled with dirt and stain, scrubbing will help. You can also hand-wash the cover. Some thinner covers can be cleaned using a washer. Just make sure that this is set in a gentle wash cycle. Rinse the cover thoroughly and let it dry fully.
This isn’t highly advised as some covers may get damaged easily when dried this way. Most would recommend that you hang the cover to dry. Flip it from time to time so that all parts of the cover will dry fully. Some covers have specific cleaning instructions based on their fabric. Follow these strictly to preserve the covers’ shape and good condition.
There’s really no prescribed number on how often the cover should be washed or cleaned. But for good measure, don’t let it be filled with too much dirt before you decide to clean or wash it. You don’t always have to wash it. For minor stains and minimal dirt, spot-cleaning will do. If it’s used outdoors, the cover may have to be cleaned more often than when it’s used indoors since it will be exposed more to dust and dirt.
