Why Choose Specialised Covers?
Waterproof & Breathable: Our Outdoor Plus fabric is both waterproof and breathable which offers full protection to your car from the external elements without allowing it to “sweat” under the cover. Our Outdoor Plus cover has the right balance between being waterproof and being breathable.
Guarantee: As well as your one-year manufacture warranty, which covers our workmanship, the fabric performance is guaranteed for 1 years on our Outdoor Plus Covers.
Choose Your Colour: Available in sleek black or grey, you can opt for a single-colour design or create a striking two-tone look to accentuate the contours of your vehicle. For a more customised finish, you can even highlight specific details, such as the wing mirrors, ensuring your cover is as stylish as it is protective.
Scratch Protection: Every day knocks and scratches can always happen, especially if it’s not just you that is near your car whilst it’s being stored. Our outdoor covers will give your car that extra layer of protection to help prevent any damages.
Tailored Protection: It is so important when storing a car out side to have a tailored cover. The excess material that can be found on some universals can often generate more damage by flapping and moving in the wind. A cover that is designed and manufactured specifically for your car's make, model and year will give you superior fit and therefore greater protection.
