CAR COVERS

I had the most challenging task, never ever has I face with such a gigantic giant in my all detailing attempts.



I received a numerous messages daily, but 2 sat ago, I had quite an unusual Short Message ….while settling busy with our new place,



The message read as “ I need your help….water stain …I think..water under plastic cover after rain. On the bonnet mainly, (obviously there are more….rear boot, top roof, both rear quarter of the ride, side door)…



I replied “ try some polish , rub it off…�

Water Damage from Car Cover-Check these Pictures

Hi,

I have a 99 Purple Prowler which is left outsde with an Evolution 4 car cover and with a tarp over the cover. I took both off only to discover a large stain, milky-colored (about the 15" diameter)on the hood. I brought to a detailer who attempted to buff it out, without luck. I then brought it to a body shop, who has rarely seen this, but talked about the stain baking through and possibly attacking the clear coat, and would need to refinish the hood. Any ideas on commercially available cleaners I can try before going through this hassle and expense? Any suggestions are welcome! Here is the url for the pictures:









I thought it might be good to share this & pre warn all car owners & lovers of

The danger of Car covers….







more milky stains







Lets think twice before placing any car covers on your beloved car

KC: As always, an excellent detail ! I always look forward to reading your posts, they`re different than what most folks here are doing on a normal basis, which I always like to see. Sucks about the SD card, the pictures still show an amazing correction job though !

[jaynick808]

please find out if he was using a quality cover like covercraft. thats messed up! i was just about to pick up a premium cover for my show car but am again thinking twice about it.

[schiddy]

I have a bike that I cover, jeez I hope something like this doesn`t happen. Leaving it outside to waterspot in the summer doesn`t seem like a good idea either.



How come there are so many expensive cars on the road in Malaysia? Seems like I see that a lot online.
