Guys,
This is a horrible story and I am sharing it so that it does not happen to you guys........Don't repeat my mistake!!
It all started with the fuel price hike 1 half months back... I decided to limit the use of my Tezza to a weekend car......since it would be parked in my house porch from monday till friday, i bought a car cover to keep it under wraps....to protect it from the sun....
Last sunday... when i removed the car cover before i can attend the first Altezza Club TT, I was greeted with a sight which has scarred me for life.... My precious ride was covered in patches of grey
(same colour as my car cover)......My attempts to polish the patches away was futile......
Immediately brought it to an auto detailer (after informing Vijay that i would not be able to make it of course...). Unfortunately, there was nothing the auto detailer could do because the stain has eaten away into the base paint.... According to the auto detailer.... the top layer of the car cover has eaten into the paint due to prolonged exposure to the sun (it gets very hot in the afternoon)... plus the hot air trapped by the car cover makes accelerated the fusion of the plastic to the paint... on certain circumstances..... paint would bubble if it is too hot... (luckily mine has yet to bubble)....
Sent it to a workshop for spray painting yesterday and the damage was lost a couple of hundred bucks *sigh*... a price to pay for caring too much for my ride....
I didn't feel like going to the TT and have such a horrible sight captured on camera by fellow bros..... it would haunt me for life man!!
So... that's the story from me....the morale of the story (and i quote the auto detailer)... "Car cover is not suitable for malaysian weather!! Don't ever attempt to use car cover and expose it to the sun!"
