Having had to replace the vinyls on my Exige at quite some cost due to UV-fading, I'm looking for a car cover to give some sunlight protection.

I'm not a big fan of contact covers, having spent too much time with customers' cars sorting out scratches from the inevitable bit of grit that gets inside and rubs around on the clearcoat.

Can anyone recommend an easy-to-use, robust non-contact cover for an Exige? I'm wondering if the cost premium on the fold-up 'perambulator' style ones is worth it...

Cheers in advance,

Tol

I think they're called garages!
Seriously though, I have one from Specialised car covers UK- it's great and I'm fairly sure it doesn't scratch the paint too much.

I had one of them before - it got ruined in a flood. It was waay too much hassle putting it up and down...

Thanks for the thought though...
