Wet Wet Wet
Yes July has passed and its now August but you could be mistaken judging by the amount of unsettled weather we've been having. Its been warm but very wet and as a result sales of our Monsoon and Stormforce covers have increased dramatically for the time of year.

Summer is Here!
As we hit July, its that time of year when people go on holiday for several weeks and often leave their car unattended, and uncovered during this period. Watch for leaves, bird muck or tree sap falling onto your car during this period, then being subjected to high temperatures or direct sunlight which can have the effect of burning any of the fore mentioned into the paintwork. Ideally wash off stright away, get a neighbour to keep an eye on it, or get it covered.
