(Newswire.net— June 8, 2020) — The Coronavirus pandemic has forced the majority of the world into lockdown. To stop the spread of the virus, everyone has been advised to stay in their homes to stop the spread of this virus which has caused nearly 400,000 deaths globally. 

Although it is important we all stay indoors, it means that people aren’t travelling unless they absolutely have to for essentials, or for key work. Because of this, many, many cars have been stuck parked in garages, on drives or on the side of the road, and are hardly being used. 

However, just because you aren’t using your car as regularly, this doesn’t mean that it can’t get damaged. Here are some reasons why you should protect your car even if you are stuck at home, and how you can make sure it is protected.

For example, it may get scratched by your children accidentally, by fallen branches, and any number of other pieces of debris. 

Weather can also have a damaging effect on your car. Dust, rain, snow and ice, can also cause wear and tear to your vehicle. As you can’t change the weather to protect your car, here is how you can make sure your car is protected during lockdown.
