If you have separate summer and winter cars, or if you need to put your vehicle into storage for longer than a week or two, there are steps you should take.
Disconnect the battery. Even without any lights on, a small draw at all times is normal to keep essential electrical modules powered up. Left connected, it could drain your battery completely which isn’t healthy for it.
Park on tyre cushions. In less than a month, your tires can develop flat spots that destroy the tire if they haven’t moved. Parking all four wheels on mats molded to the curvature of your tire will prevent them from developing flat spots.
Cover your car. No matter the season, the sun’s powerful UV rays can damage your car’s interior, exterior, and tires. Covering your car will prevent undue wear and tear and help prolong its looks and its life. Choose only high quality car cover. At CoverCompany we produce standrd and made to measure car covers. Both are fully breathable and features a super soft interior. Our fabric is 70% poliéster and 30% lycra with an extra soft interior (200 grs / m2). Thanks to a shiny satin exterior and a fleece interior, it provides full protection to your vehicle.
It sounds like a lot of work. But done proactively and routinely, car care shouldn’t take more than an hour a week (plus the occasional faux pas). In the long run, you’ll enjoy a car that lasts longer, looks and drives better, and has a higher resale value. It’s well worth the effort.
Very satisfied with this indoor size L cover (2.8 m x 1.2 m x 1.6 m) for the Goldwing 1500. Unfold carefully as the package is vacuum-sealed and the transparent part is very sticky. I installed it by myself. Be careful to position the antennas correctly. Consider using protection under the center and side stands to preserve the cover. No instructions in French. This cover is not cheap, but it really does the job. I highly recommend it. CoverCompany responds quickly to questions, which is much appreciated.
Cover is good quality. Being a standard fit cover it's designed to fit large SUV vehicles which is slightly too big for a Stelvio, but it's better that it's oversized than too small. It's never going to fit back into the storage bag or case that came with it so will have to find another way of storing it which is disappointing. Took about 10 days to get to the UK. - Answer by Cover Company: Thanks for your feedback Paul. The package includes an additional storage bag to store the cover once it has been used,
