I'll have to park my car outside for the next 6 months. Where I live is on the coast and is inundated with seagulls and the resulting guano.

The manufacturer wants £600 for the branded car cover. For only 6mo I'm loathe to spend so much.

Does anyone have any companies they recommend around the £300 mark? Are there noticeable jumps in quality and protection? If so, what is reasonable to spend...£200, £400...?

Many thanks

I've had two £2/300 covers, believed the spiel about mutli layers, call me unimpressed, they both seeped water in after disappointingly short lives, one of them started breaking up leaving bits on the bodywork.

Halford own cover circa £60 i find every bit as good, more water resilient/repelling than the so called specialist covers, soft lining too.
The only downside is its rather shiny silver colour, but if you can live with that, elasticated and two adjustable straps that go under the car.

Wow. That is a lot of money for disappointing performance. Was the Halfords cover knly meant for temporary use or was it intended for permanent cover? Thanks for the info
