DeLorean car cover is not just a simple sheet to hide from sun and rain. In very American settings like heavy spring pollen in New England, sap dripping from pines and oaks in Georgia or Texas, or dense city lots full of sparrows and pigeons in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, parking outdoors means daily encounters with pollen, tree sap, and bird droppings. These tiny marks may look harmless, but once they bake in the sun they stick, print patterns, and if handled the wrong way they create hairline scratches and faint halos that are hard to ignore, especially visible on the DeLorean’s signature brushed stainless steel hairline finish. This article dives into that pain, explains why DeLorean is more sensitive than many cars, the small bit of science behind the three culprits, how to choose and use the right car cover, step-by-step scratch-free cleanups, and the safe habits that keep your car in character every time you lift the cover.
