MATRA Car Covers

When it comes to protecting your car, you may think that a cheap car cover will do the trick.

But before you go and buy a cheap tarpaulin cover from some unknown online retailer, ask yourself these questions:

• Do I need a waterproof car cover?
• Do I need a winter car cover?
• Do I need a car cover that can repel mud, dirt, bird droppings, sap, pollen and other environmental pollutants?
• Do I need a car cover designed to keep my cover in place in windy conditions?
• Do I need a cover that can prevent the build-up of mold, mildew and rust from condensation?
• Do I need a non-abrasive inner lining for my car cover?
• Do I need an indoor storage cover for my classic car?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes. Your car needs a quality car cover, otherwise you run the risk of your car getting scratched, dented, faded, corroding or stained, all of which diminish the look and value of your car.

Types of car covers: 

Universal covers: These covers are designed to fit a broad range of cars. They are often the most affordable option and are a great choice for people who only need occasional protection for their car. 

Custom-fit car covers: These covers are designed to fit a specific make and model of vehicle, providing a snug and secure fit. Custom-fit car covers are a great choice for people who want the best protection for their car and are willing to invest in a higher-quality car cover.

Outdoor Car Covers

When looking for an outdoor car cover, you need a car cover that is…

Durable

When your car, classic car, truck, station wagon, van, or SUV sits parked outdoors, there are a number of elements that can scratch, dent, or dull your vehicle's paint and finish.

• Wind, rain and snow can dull your paint's finish
• Dust can become abrasive and scratch your vehicle
• Bird droppings can stick to your car's paint, making it difficult to remove without damage
• Trees can drop acorns, leaves, sap, and pollen, all which can stain, dent or scratch your car

Waterproof Car Covers

If you store your car outdoors, you want to keep it dry all season long.

Otherwise, when left out in the rain for long periods of time, your car becomes prone to rust and corrosion. Heavy snow can also add extreme amounts of pressure to your vehicle's exterior and accelerate the corrosion process.

Sun-Proof Car Covers

Vehicles that are left out in hot, dry climates, will eventually suffer from the effects of the sun's harmful rays. High temperatures and UV rays can slowly wear away and dull your paint job. The hot sun will also warp and crack your interior dashboard.

That's why our outdoor car covers are...

• Made from flexible and durable materials.
  • Whether it’s spun-bonded, machine-woven or features a rip-stop design. These covers are durable, lightweight and can stand up to the elements and keep your car protected year round.
• Made from materials that are designed to be waterproof.
  • If you want covers that protect your car from rain, snow and pollutants our outdoor covers are designed to provide an impermeable barrier between the elements and your vehicle.
• Made from materials that are fully breathable. This expels trapped water, preventing the growth of mold, mildew, rust and corrosion.
• Treated to be UV-resistant, keeping your car cool and protecting your finish from UV radiation.
• Eco-friendly and free from vinyl and other PVC based materials. Also dioxin-free and compliant with CA Prop 65.

Indoor Car Covers

You may think that your vehicle is safe from harm in your garage or storage unit. However, it is still vulnerable to damage when it’s parked indoors, as well as outdoors.

Vehicles stored indoors collect dust and dirt, which can become abrasive to your vehicle's finish, causing tiny scratches. Pets and other animals that may hide out in your garage or storage area may damage your vehicle as well.

To provide indoor protection for your car, truck, station wagon, van, or SUV from potential damage indoors, shield it with an indoor car cover. Indoor car covers should pamper your vehicle's paint.

That's why our indoor car covers are...

• Made from durable materials
• Lined with non-abrasive fleece to protect your paint
• Breathable to prevent mold, mildew and rust from the build-up of condensation.

Our outdoor covers are suitable as indoor covers, too – which is great if you’re parking your car in an area that could get wet, like a carport, barn or garage.

All Our Car Covers Feature:

• An easy to apply patch to accommodate any antenna.
• A free storage pouch to ensure quick and easy storage.
• A 2- to 12-year manufacturer’s warranty.
