Notice
Security
  • Never use the tarpaulin when the vehicle is in motion. 
  • Never use a tarpaulin when transporting the vehicle on an uncovered cargo trailer. There is a risk of the tarpaulin being torn off by wind gusts and a risk of endangering other road users. 
  • Use the fixing straps to secure the outdoor sail safely in windy weather. Do not rely solely on the strong elastic hem.
Practical advice
  • Never fit a tarpaulin to a vehicle with an immature paintwork. 
  • Before covering the car, first close the doors, windows and glass roofs. In the case of a convertible, extend the roof. 
  • Avoid forcible handling of the tarp. If the sail offers any resistance when being put on/taken down, check that it is not caught anywhere. This will prevent damage. 
  • Do not underestimate the regular inspection interval of a car stored under canvas.
  • It is recommended to first cover the canvas roof with a layer of thin paper before putting on the tarpaulin. The inner soft fleece lining of interior tarpaulins snags on the fabric of the roof, the tarpaulin does not come off and makes it look small.
  • Beware of non-original exterior accessories. The quality of their finish may not be sufficient. We do not recommend the long-term use of tarpaulins or covering a wet car. Irreversible maps could form on the surface of these parts.
Customised haircuts

PREMIUM custom interior/exterior tarpaulins are tailored to the specific make, model and year of the vehicle. It is not a custom fit to your car. If your vehicle's exterior is in original condition with no accessories, you can be assured that the fit will be perfect. In the case of original/non-original accessories or Japanese, American and other versions of the car (different side mirrors, sports bumpers, spoilers, sill extensions, extended wheel trims, body kits, luggage racks, etc.) the fit may not be a perfect fit or may be directly inappropriate. To be sure of the appropriate product for you, please contact us.

Most of the cuts are made in the years of the model's launch and are created using the technology of the time. Older patterns do not achieve the precision of contemporary patterns. They tend to be looser and may have wrinkles. However, this is not a fault. It is a mistake.

The position and size of the pockets on the side mirrors correspond to the original condition of the car. On older vehicles where the number, position and shape of the mirrors have varied, the side mirror pockets are not taken into account in the custom fitting. However, they can be retrofitted. See Side mirror pockets for more information.

Customized cuts usually do not take antennas into account. Most antennas can be folded or dismantled. The fins of modern cars do not need to be taken into account. Older cars with fixed antennas need to have the hole in the sail cut through. If you require the antenna hole to be accounted for, it can be retrofitted to your car. This service is subject to individual quotation. The position and size of the hole will fit directly on your car.

Side mirror pockets

Side mirror pockets are reflected on PREMIUM custom interior/exterior sails with custom fit for cars built after 1975, with the exception of a few models. For customized cuts, this is usually possible as the shape and position of the mirrors are usually clearly defined. Older cars where the numbers, positions and shapes of the side mirrors varied or were even missing altogether do not have side mirror pockets. This is not always a detriment. In the case of small rear-view mirrors, the aesthetic result without pockets is visually "cleaner". If pockets are not part of a particular cut, we will always inform you in advance. If you require pockets to be taken into account, they can be additionally tailored to your car. This service is subject to individual calculation. The position and shape will fit directly on your car. 

PLEASE NOTE: If your car is fitted with side mirrors whose position or shape does not match the original car or the European version of the car, please contact us. The pockets can be retrofitted to suit your car. This service is subject to individual quotation. The position and shape will fit directly on your car. 

If you park your car in a public area, you will appreciate the option of safely storing the side mirrors under the tarpaulin. In this case, configure the cut without pockets for the side mirrors. 

CLASSIC universal interior/exterior tarpaulins do not take into account the pockets on the side mirrors. With universal cuts it is not possible to design the shape and position of the pockets to suit all cars. Wrinkles and overstretching of the material would occur, which would detract from the aesthetic appearance of the tarpaulin.

Logos and inscriptions

If you want to personalise your sail, take advantage of the option of an original car brand logo or a custom logo on request. The original car brand logo is the logo of your car manufacturer (Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Porsche, etc.). The colour of the monochrome logo can be chosen with respect to the shade of your sail. The multi-coloured logo remains in its original shades. If you require your company logo, specific symbols, custom logos or lettering, we can prepare a custom logo exactly to your specifications.

Our recommendation: logos and lettering always lift the final impression of the sail. However, be cautious when choosing them. Avoid logos that are solid in area. In larger sizes, they can look cumbersome. Logos with the sail fabric partially showing through tend to be visually light and fresh. Signs composed of individual letters do not suffer from this effect.

For logos and lettering we choose the position on the bonnet of the car. This is the largest area of the body where they look best. Each logo allows different maximum dimensions. Symmetrical logos (round, square) are usually up to 30 cm in diameter. Lettering can be up to 70 cm long. In the case of larger sizes, the iron-on logos are no longer able to transfer the elasticity of the fabric and may cause deformation or fraying of the sail.

If you require larger logos, we can use sublimation technology to produce them. This involves printing the logo on the surface of the sail. You can find out more about sublimation technology in the section Custom Full Screen Printing.

Custom all-over printing

Custom all-over printing is the ultimate in personalising your sail. Design a custom design inspired by you. Each order is an individual affair. It is created step by step from initial sketches, through test loops to the final form of your sail. The process of creating a custom all-over print is time-consuming for complex graphics, but trust us, the result is worth it. 

 

Sublimation

The sublimation technology is used to produce custom all-over printing. The base of the sail is white fabric, on which the graphics are printed all over from the front side. Each cm2 is defined according to your requirements. We can achieve logos and signs of extreme dimensions, complex graphics or colour shades that are as close to your ideas as possible. The reverse side of the sail remains in its original white colour.
