Title: Car cover
Post by: Smithy on January 20, 2020, 06:54
Can anyone recommend a good car cover for outside use. I've seen a few and the price range is quite vast. Just wondering what you all use if any?

I would recommend not covering car for anything other than short periods, even expensive covers can give issues with paint damage despite what they promise as moisture gets under them :( better off giving car a good coat of wax and leaving uncovered in most cases.

Don't have any recommendations, but previously used a car cover on my Mk2 with no adverse effects.

The best ones are breathable so allow the moisture to get out. However you need to spend a bit of money for those and they will be a custom rather than a generic fit.

Thanks all, that's really helpful. mixed views on covers but all in all very helpful. That link also took me to a chat about stocking and suspenders. :o  :o
