Car Covers Can Help Dad Protect His Investment
ROSWELL, Ga., May 20, 2003 -- Dust, rain, sun, dings and debris pose daily threats to a car's finish and ultimately to its value. The right car cover can help protect a car owner's investment and may be just the gift Dad is waiting for this Father's Day.
One high-tech car cover fabric to look for is the Block-It(R) brand of protective fabrics from Kimberly-Clark. Block-It(R) Fabrics provide the ultimate in protection with a wide variety of universal-fit and custom-fit car cover choices.
"Why not surprise Dad this Father's Day with a custom-fit cover designed to match his vehicle precisely," suggests Bruce Williamson, director of sales & marketing, Kimberly-Clark Nonwoven Fabrics. "Not only would it be a more exciting gift than another boring tie, it also will help Dad protect the investment he's made in his automotive pride-and-joy."
Why use a car cover or give one as a Father's Day gift?
First, they're a financially smart gift. Car covers protect a car's exterior finish and help keep harmful UV rays from degrading and cracking plastic and leather interior surfaces or from fading cloth. They also keep the vehicle's interior cooler on hot summer days. And, since valuables inside the car can't be seen, car covers help to discourage theft. (Thieves may be reluctant to take the time to break through or remove a car cover.)
Second, car covers are not just for car "enthusiasts." Everyone can relate to faded car paint or damage done to their car from bird droppings, pollen, tree sap, inclement weather conditions or the neighbor's cat.
Third, car covers are better than ever. The high-tech fabrics used today let car owners dictate the exact level of performance they need for water resistance, scratch and "ding" resistance, UV protection, dust resistance and breathability.
Car covers made of Block-It(R) Fabric are available in two formats. Universal-fit covers are generic in shape, yet designed to accommodate as many different styles of vehicles as possible. Custom-fit car covers are designed based on the vehicle's exact year, make, model and aftermarket accessories.
