This seems to agree with want other listee's said about keeping it in the shade, but the UV rays seem to be more likely the cause of deterioration than heat. Jim A. had said that car covers where not so good cause the rubber bakes under the cover, but if the UV rays are the most damaging the cover is probably a good idea. In combination with these products, maybe it will at the least minimize the effects of UV. I guess its kinda like sunblock for your car. Even if this just helps a little it's a good thing. I think my car spent most of its 30 odd years garaged, hence the good condition of the rubber. You know I always heard products like Armour-All were not good, but never saw the facts behind the statement. I guess I will stop using that stuff on my Jetta too.
