Correct.

I've always referred to it as poly carbonate
Polycarbonate is a material--generally a relatively hard plastic and most often clear.
The coroplast that most people on this forum refer to is normally made from polypropylene.
However after reading a bit more, I have found that corrugated plastic sheets can and are also made using polycarbonate.Yay, got to learn something today. My guess is that they would be a bit more expensive though as polycarbonate is not normally cheap. I believe polycarbonate has better UV resistance too although that might not matter beneath a car.
Thanks for teaching me something new UltraArc.
