I actually use my garage at home for my car. I never understood why people leave their expensive $35K+USD car outside but put crap in their garage.
Jameel Ja yea me too i have my 17 mustang gt just chillin in my garage even though its not the biggest garage
In texas we dont have basements so all the junk people normally put in a basement goes in the garage.
@@michaels7984 in Florida there are no basements either. That's why I have 3 sheds and my cars in the garage.
@@willmr2psu we use ours, we have a 3 car garage so use the extra for storage space. A lot of people cant afford that or multiple sheds though so they use their garage.
Bro Everyone has no garages in their House
Love your wagon, Brian 😍
That wagon he’s draggin 😛
Cooley is more important than the sun for Humanity.
so what the market needs is some kind of "quick deploy" car cover.
Cooley is great.
New homes built over the last 10 years went from coming with 2 car garages to coming with 3 car garages.
Over the last 3 years I am seeing many new homes being built with 4 car garages.
That give a stall or more for bicycles, lawn mowers, snow blowers and kids toys.
Car Cover ($300 > $5)
Window Tint (Polarized > Super Dark tints)
Windshield shade cover
Ceramic Paint coating
Thanks Cooley
Truth 😂 But good tint is pricey! WAY worth it IMO though
300 car cover? better hope nobody knows 😂
That "Casio Duro" stands out in the whole video. I got the same watch with the same James Bond Nato strap 🤗
Great video, I wish I had a garage where I live... I have considered a car cover... but I am not sure what to do with it when I take it off? Throwing dirty cover to fill up my trunk or lugging it all the way back into my apartment and put it... somewhere?!?! That doesn't seem very logical. I did buy the specific window shade for my car... makes a huge difference.
thanks for the video, very informative!
Thank you Brian!
That panther wagon always on mint fleek 👌
No mention of wax ??
@BrantheBroken Your car won't fade after three years. My VW came with a 12 year paint warranty. And I swear it was 12 years and one day old when the fading started showing lol
Let Cooley review cars again! His talent is waisted here!
Wasted*
Everyone reviews,but this is informational and unique, plus entertaining!
Still real glad Brian is doing videos. I thought he was gone for good. His G-Wagon review back on Cnet was the funniest shit ever.
Do you think I should use one for my car that is in an apartment parking lot (outdoors) because lawn people come by randomly once a month and I get grass, etc all over the sides of my car. And it's a brand new 2020 Rav4. I bought a $34 car cover off eBay, but am hesitant to break it open and use it.
With 115-120f days in the shade , shade is essential here at work and home for my car
This video is brilliant.
That car cover gets used twice, and ends up being part of the CRAP in your garage.
With the cover?
Love this guy
That was a good ending👍😂
What are your thoughts about a black car cover.😁 when I got my new truck it was the only thing available. I leave my windows open to try to resist any heat buildup on the interior, I’d like your feedback on the color,(Black versus silver).👍 thank you,. when I’m not using the car cover I use window shades on three sides (window)of the automobile to block the sun from the interior and keep windows down of course as much as I can get away with.
❤❤love that 84 Marquis ❤ I had a 83 Grand I miss it😪
Do you still have the Country Squire? Wanna sell it? I had a white one with blue velour interior... loved it...but I wore it out using it for work. Now I would love to get one just to cruise around in!
Awesome video 😎
Never appreciated shade covers until this summer with 100 + degrees temps
More Cooley!!!!!
It's hail season here in Calgary and I can't seem to find a product to protect cars during hail storms?
Not worth it IMO getting a car cover on a daily driver. Plus it can potentially scratch it and it just screams "vandalize me".
When dirt gets up inside or the cover/car gets dirty and then wind blows the cover = scratches
“Smoking pot while driving” lol✊🏾
In backyard, I simply use Emergency-Thermal-Blanket and some magnet or some washable reusable silicone taps from amazon
Keeping your car cooler with Cooley!
I learned the hard way
Overtime, it's cheaper to buy a car cover than buying the UV protection waxes and greases
Window tint is a good idea. Get it done once and forget about it. But I don't think it can be used on the front windshield, can it?
A clear windshield tint yes. Nobody will know you did it unless you tell someone. Or you can tint the top 5-6 inches as dark as you want since it doesn't go below the rearview mirror.
@@BTC909 the front windshield actually has uv protection already. There is a clear film in between
If ceramic coating is expensive. Applying car wax can help protect the paint from UV rays. And the dirt won't stick too much when there is wax. It is a cheaper alternative. But wax comes off eventually. So you need to maintain it at least once a month.
The one thing you forgot that is best for just about everything except glass is Dielectric grease. Does it matter what brand if you want a good quality get food grade it'll make everything last forever you can even put it on your paint. It's by no means cheap especially if you're going to put it on your paint but it is like silicone coating your entire car leather likes it plastic likes it rubber likes it everything.
would vinyl wrap do the trick?
karijj I'm hoping it does! I'm getting my car wrapped soon
The Tint is darker to keep prying eyes and thieves away in whatever costume they may wear in 2019
Yea, the car cover is highly impractical on a daily basis at work. But the other solutions like tinting is effective. Nice video!
What about a removable car garage.
I dont mine putting it done is that if your car is not clean you will be scratching it all over. That is my only complain
What about those umbrella-like things that sit on the roof?
🤔🤔🤔🤔
The correct but goofy looking way to use a sun shield is to actually put it on the outside of the windshield. It’ll keep the car a lot cooler. When on the inside, it’s just reflecting the heat into the cabin.
It's fine just putting it on the inside, it doesnt reflect the heat into the cabin, if it fits properly it will reflect nearly all the heat back through the windshield. Not worth putting it on the outside for like 5% better reflection when it can easily be blown away by wind or just taken off by someone.
Where to order pls
Go on Amzon or any Auto stores
I can’t put my stuff in a shed because my entire backyard is septic field--bummer. I wish I had a city sewer system. I can’t plant a shrub or put up a shed. I am thinking about creative storing and getting rid of all Christmas items-trees, lights, snowman, etc. Christmas takes up room and I want to clear out my garage.
Would it scratch or make swirl marks on the car by the cover?
yes car covers aren't recommended generally
By the time you drive to work, your car would be too dirty to put a cover on unless you don't care about swirl marks, scratches and damage to the paint. At which time you have to wonder, why does one care about putting a car cover on the car at all? Indoor covers are the only car covers that make sense because they are applied in a controlled environment without outdoor hazards and dirt.
@@DJGeorgeDisco thanks
I love the educational value of these videos, but this one makes me glad I just buy cheap cars and be done with it.
Relax people, Relax!
For most people’s cars, The outside of your car is is just skin deep!
Don’t stress over scratches, cracks, dents- learn to love them!...
In a few years, the outside of all your cars will look like crap!
With all these high tech paint, clearcoat, etc. ..
Have you thought how much these chemicals are polluting the environment?
Things that are resistant/ don’t degrade are bad for the environment! x millions of cars!

Make sure you're using sunscreen almost year round. We all know about UVA but we also need to be worried about UVB rays in the cooler months.
Not to mention your car baking in the Texas, Nevada, and Arizona sun will dry rot seals, wipers and much more
Move to Ireland
The cover it's not practical in the sense that most jobs require you to have a parking sticker and if I can't see that because the cover well that's no good I think I would just go with the tinted windows
>>----------------------------> It's Gus, from Breaking Bad!
My car cover was stolen and that sucks
Garage is for your car
I changed my job just to protect my car and myself. I finish work at 4 and the car is boiling from the Sun...... During Summer in Oman it reaches 50 degrees Celsius that's outside imagine the inside...... I had to shift just because my car was Black and It's extreme hell.... And a car cover might protect your car but it's a hassle to put it when you want to go to work.... You'll sweat like ........
You shouldn't put a car cover on a car unless the car has been washed and is totally clean. Driving it to work when it gets road dust all over it and putting a car cover on a car that isn't car wash fresh isn't a good idea. You could use car detailer before covering it at work but doing that and then covering the car is going to get you exhausted before you start your day on the job.
@@ThomasKOdell scratches?
@@UNPhantom93 - Sure lots of people get scratches and surface swirls from car covers BECAUSE THEY DON'T FOLLOW THE ADVICE I CITED ABOVE. You should NEVER put a car cover on a car that isn't car wash clean. If you live in Oman, that is the DESERT and if you drive your car even a short distance in Oman where you live (or in the California desert of Palm Springs where I live), you are going to get dust on it. No. No. No. No. You can't do that. I use a car cover all the time. I'm retired and have time to take care of my car. So if I remove my car cover to use my car, I let the car sit until nighttime and then take a hose to it, dry it off and then apply a spray coat of Quick Detailer (about 30 minutes of work). THEN I put my car cover back on. It's 110 degrees today where I am. Without a car cover, the inside of my car would COOK. I don't get scratches or paint damage because I don't put a car cover on a dusty or dirty car. Rule of thumb? If you can't hose off your car and dry it before putting on a car cover, don't put a car cover on.
I nano coated my minivan... best thing ever. Cheap on Ebay and works a treat. After a 400mile trip the front as clean as when we left (no bugs/dust) Honestly, I think all the hocus pocus about application is nonsense to make you spend some extra money on a shop, $1k plus vs $50...
any links for that product?
It's because they need to polish the paint to a near flawless finish so the coating would work better. If you coated it yourself odds are you only done a car wash before applying a coating.
@@JironBMohamad Burnnnn 😂🤣
Is this why people prefer suv’s? Because they might be made of more durable materials.
I park under a shade. Although, the bird turds are annoying.
And those are bad for your paint too
@@kolt9051 way worse, unless you wipe them off on the spot.
Cooley come back to car reviewing we need you
It’s like NASA never lied before 😂
High tech Nano tech window tint technology
Check your local laws. In many places, any tint above factory levels may be illegal. Car covers that block your window registration/inspection stickers are illegal when parked on the street.
Buddy, *anything* is illegal these days! How about something we don't know.
@@harambo9805 True lkl
The downside of the cover is that it will scratch your paint
It will dull the paint after a while when the cover is moving/flapping with the wind.
I always thought u have to have a clean car before u put it on
@@keenanwilliams3902 In theory Yes.
lol didnt even mention paint protection film.
Fr
But one problem... my car is too tall....
I added ceramic coating on my own car. Cheaper that way.
do you park outside?
@@mattbushnell7885 Yeah, I park outside when I'm at work. Otherwise, it'll stay in the garage. 😉
You got to cover your car before it goes in the garage.
FYI that Sun Shade is by Covercraft & they last for forever. If you are too lazy to put up a Sun Shade get a Dash Mat.
Nano nano nano
I’m here for the best video ever posted to the TH-cam
Sounds like my family unfortunately
It going to scratch a lot
Gotta find the right size for the cover
The dash doesn't crack on modern cars like they did on older cars from the 70s to 90s did
Davin Peterson They warp and it looks just as terrible
Nope Garages are for cars... Not junk.
No garage so all I got was 10 reasons I should just own a bike
true. but it looks sloppy to drive on the highway with a car cover...
Good thing I don't have a car. I don't have money for protecting my car.
If you spend a couple grand getting your car ceramic coated by a pro...and then test that coating by bashing the hood with the bottom of a disposable lighter😲..like what's demonstrated in this video🤡..
You're gonna spend several more grand getting the pant damage repaired..not to mentuon reapplying the coating..🥴
No mention of PPF??
Paint protection film is a great option for vehicle protection..including mitigating damage from stone chips & UV...
I’m unsubscribing until Cooley reviews cars again 💯
Lmao
So, no-ones going to mention that car covers can damage your paint? Aight.
Gotta find the right size
Very offensive comments
Your mom gay
Oh my, l always park my Range ROVER in the shadow. Save a lot of 💵💰
Park under a tree
No bird poop and tree sap
Balkan doesn't take care of anyone except bikers.
First
Simple advice: find a tree.
Bird poop and tree sap
And that stuff can damage your paint
Ceramic coat is just your typical sealant. Don't be fooled and pay high prices for mumbo jumbo
disciprine you've got to be stupid
@@alanperez2529 you ARE stupid
i see alot of black people use window tint
Smh
