When I first bought my used Honda City, I didn’t think much about parking it in the open. Like many in Pakistan, I didn’t have access to a garage. For weeks, it sat outside—day and night. The paint shone bright, the windows were spotless, and I felt proud every time I drove it.
But that didn’t last.
The Beginning of the Problem
It started with a dust layer every morning. Then came the bird droppings, dried tree sap, and tiny scratch marks on the bonnet. After just a month, my once-shiny car looked older, duller, and neglected. Every Saturday became a car wash day.
One afternoon, while I was wiping my windshield for the third time in a week, my cousin Hamza showed up. He looked at my car and raised an eyebrow.
“You seriously don’t use a top cover car?” he asked.
I laughed. “Didn’t think I needed one.”
“You’re letting your car age fast. Trust me, just get one.”
The Change That Made the Difference
That night, I did some research. A top cover car wasn’t expensive—and the benefits were huge. It protected against:
-
Direct sunlight, which fades paint over time
-
Dust and air pollution from busy streets
-
Rainwater, which can cause stains or rust
-
Animal scratches and falling leaves
I ordered one made from durable parachute material, with a soft lining to prevent scratches. It fit snugly and took only a minute to put on.
The results were immediate.
No more early-morning windshield cleaning. No more dirt sticking to the roof. My car stayed cleaner longer, and I felt more relaxed knowing it was protected—even in harsh weather.
Why Every Pakistani Car Owner Needs One
In cities like Lahore, Karachi, or Islamabad, parking under open skies is the norm. Whether it’s extreme heat in June or heavy monsoon showers in August, our cars take a beating year-round.
A top cover car acts like a shield. It doesn’t just save your car’s looks—it protects your investment. Especially in Pakistan, where vehicles are expensive and maintenance is costly, prevention is smarter than cure.
The Smallest Upgrade With the Biggest Impact
Now, I tell every new car owner: don’t wait. Don’t assume your car is safe just because it looks fine today. Start early. A top cover car is one of the simplest, most affordable ways to protect your vehicle from everyday damage.
Just like I did—before it’s too late.
