Car covers

Quick question, are there any car covers out there that aren't harmful to the paint, maybe having a microfiber underside?

We'll that'll look great on the street

perfect if it was hidden in the garage.

Wouldn't put a car cover on a car which is going to be parked in the street, its just asking for trouble.

Princey · 11 Oct 2010 at 20:46

It's a private road and we don't get yobs down there.

Firestar_3x · 11 Oct 2010 at 20:48

Unless its a gated complex i still wouldn't do it.

Apart from the ones who stole your car?

Car cover = something tasty underneath = I'll have it!

They'd need a reason to come down here in the first place. The original perps won't come back down after being charged. The police think they saw the car in a picture from when the house was for sale.

Fox that's the second or third time tonight that you've made a joke/comment that someone else has done quite some time before.

Lol anyway this looks perfect. http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/moltex/moltex-outdoor-car-covers.aspx £190 for the size I'd need.

peterattheboro · 11 Oct 2010 at 21:03

Why are you getting a cover? Aren't you selling your Astra and getting a much larger car?

Put the £125 towards some fuel!

Princey · 11 Oct 2010 at 21:05

That is for the much larger car

Your lucky to get insurance with it parked on the street over night. A friend has a FQ360 and can only get isurance if its garaged over night.

Princey · 11 Oct 2010 at 21:09

It's on a drive with garage access when the dads out.

I wouldn't put a car under cover outside - not only are you trapping moisture between the car and cover, but you are likely to damage the paint with the cover its self.

Princey · 11 Oct 2010 at 21:28

The car cover I linked to has a soft inner lining and a micro-perforated layer so will not trap moisture.

MikeHiow · 11 Oct 2010 at 21:36

Doesn't matter how soft it is. Unless you plan on washing the car every time before you cover it?

Unless you wash your car so it's perfectly clean before putting the cover on you're still likely to scratch it using any sort of cover that comes into contact with the car.

Princey · 11 Oct 2010 at 21:39

Ah I see what you mean? So u think it'll be the dirt on the car being disturbed by the cover causing the damage?

EDIT: Beaten
