Our Materials

The outer face

The outer face carries the weather: rain, road film, tree sap, UV. It has to shed water without sealing the laminate, which is why a genuinely useful outer is water-repellent and taped at the seams rather than plastic-coated.

UV is the quieter problem. An outer face without UV stabilisation chalks, goes brittle and starts shedding fibres onto the paint within a couple of summers.

The membrane

Between the outer and the lining sits the breathable membrane. Its pores are smaller than a liquid water droplet and larger than a water vapour molecule, so rain stays out while overnight condensation escapes. Without it, a cover traps moisture against the paint and does more damage than leaving the car bare.

The inner lining

The lining is the only layer that touches paint, so it is the only layer that can scratch it. Ours are fleece or brushed knit, chosen to survive daily on-and-off use without polishing swirl marks into clearcoat.

Layer counts by line

Layer count is the one construction figure we can state today for every line:

• DailyShield 5L All-Season Car Cover — 5 layers, soft fleece inner
• DailyShield 3L Three-Season Car Cover — 3 layers, brushed polyester inner
• DailyShield Hail Padded Car Cover — 6 layers, soft fleece over closed-cell foam inner
• DailySun Reflect UV Car Cover — 4 layers, cotton-touch inner inner
• DailyFrost Snow & Ice Car Cover — 4 layers, thermal fleece inner
• DailyGuard Indoor Dust Cover — 2 layers, satin-faced knit inner

Figures we have not published yet

Fabric weight in gsm, hydrostatic head in millimetres, moisture-vapour transmission rate and formal UV ratings are laboratory figures. We will publish them with the test method and date once our manufacturer has confirmed them in writing. Until then they are absent from this site rather than estimated, because an unverified performance number is exactly the kind of claim that should not be trusted.
