LBC CAR Covers...?

[kodanja]

I just had my TR6 painted & would like peoples opinion on different Car Covers for outside use.
Thanx as always... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/patriot.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/england.gif

I bought a generic cover from Wal Mart for $60. It came with a 10 year warranty. I doubt that it will last that long but it's keeping the junk off the car.

Do you perfer the nylon type, cloth type, or maybe the breathable foam type?

The best car cover for new or old paint would be a garage. Depending on how old your paint is, I wouldn't cover it until the paint is fully cured.
The Kimberley Clarke breathable covers are nice and hold up well to the elements. I bought their cloth cover which didn't hold up as well.
When covering outside, expect light scratching of the paint regardless of the type of cover.

i had posted a similar question a couple of weeks ago in the car care section, you may want to look there for comments-
i had been surprised at the amount of water passing through my rather expensive cover that used the "block-it" technology - advice back was basically around how much you want to trade off breathability vs increased resistance to rain - for me, I'll be ordering one of the weathershield covers to block a bit more rain - at least until i can convince my neighbor to let me squeeze in a garage between our propeerties...

I agree with the garage method.
The majority of the time when I'm covering it outside, will be primarily for dust, pollen & debris.
I try to avoid bringing the car out when there's a chance of rain. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thirsty.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/england.gif
