For heavier-duty outdoor use, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/black-shield-car-cover\"\u003eBlack Shield 420D\u003c\/a\u003e uses double-density fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I access my car while the cover is on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Measure your vehicle's length and height before ordering, especially if your bakkie has a canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Blue Shield different from the Black Shield 420D?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Shield uses lighter 210D Oxford fabric, making it ideal for everyday use at an accessible price. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/black-shield-car-cover\"\u003eBlack Shield 420D\u003c\/a\u003e uses heavier 420D fabric — twice the thread density — for stronger protection during long-term outdoor or exposed parking. Both cover the same vehicle types and weather conditions, but the 420D provides a more durable barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I choose the right size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your vehicle's bumper-to-bumper length, width and height. Match these to the size guide above. When in doubt, always choose the larger size — a slightly bigger cover is better than one that doesn't reach the bumpers. Common choices: VW Polo → S; Toyota Corolla → M; Toyota Fortuner → XL; Ford Ranger Double Cab → 2XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this cover stay on in wind?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Blue Shield features elastic hems at the front and rear, plus front, middle and rear tie-down straps. For very high-wind conditions or permanent outdoor parking, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/black-shield-car-cover\"\u003eBlack Shield 420D\u003c\/a\u003e offers a more secure fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I care for the Blue Shield cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash or gentle machine wash with mild detergent in cold water. Do not tumble dry. Air dry flat or draped over the vehicle. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, which can damage the waterproof coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you deliver across South Africa?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
