Options:

1) cheapo nylon car cover

Pros: cheap

Cons: easily tear/broken, cant last long, do melt abit if very hot, once stick on car paint, cant get off :< once kena droppings, very cumbersome.

2) paper box / big piece of thick cloth

Pros: cheap /FOC, wont melt, hot air can escape / got air flow

Cons: cant withstand rain water, paper box cant cover all section too, once cloth kena droppings, very cumbersome.

3) Under tree

Pros: FOC, can be quite cooling too...........& wont melt too :>

Cons: can't find trees, if found one: possible FOC bird droppings + FOC tree leafs & stems, possible loose broken tree trunks fall down when rain.....which also FOC......

4) Damn Big Umbrella/Gazebo

Pros: ..........may cover up 100% of ur car? against rain/sun/droppings....

Cons: very expensive, maynot cover 100% of ur car, may fall down & hit ur precious car if got storm/heavy rain/wind, if got d $$, do awning extention lar.....

5) Carrefour 4 legs Plastic Tent

Pros: cheap...like rm50+, can cover a sedan liao :> wont melt on ur car, against sun/rain/droppings/leafs etc, act as deco:as if ur house got happening events :) Alot of car show room use them. Once properly installed, no hussle anymore....... can be remove as well........If got lubang occur, can simply typed it...

Cons: cant last for ages (what d heck, can buy one mar, anytime also got stock, strong wind may blow it away even u put bricks on d 4 legs (so use heavy flower pot instead!!)

So Bro, which one u choose? ....hehe..

i have a suggestion...as my car's always parked under the sun, i spent extra and bought a car cover for around RM130...i bought it from hatyai but you can find it also in eunos 1u...it's water proof and most importantly, it won't melt under the sun...do not buy those ciplak RM20 covers as they will melt and not waterproof as well...it's metallic up front and it really works as my car is not really hot inside after a few hours in the sun...the only con is i need to put/take out and when it rains a bit susah as water from the canvas will drip once taking it out

car cover can scratch your paint.

especially when putting on and getting off. you have to make sure your car's paint is clean b4 u put on the cover.

Metallic paint wont spoilt easily under hot sun.. just wax regularly... what will detiriorate is your interior and plastic lamps.. plastic covers do more harm than good under hot sun or rain.. moisture will collect n sometime the interior as well will be affected by mould.. use car covers under porch or inside garage only...

1- Beautiful 6 potter
2- iDrive
3- My dream car
