Chaps/chapesses/transgenders,

I am looking at getting a car cover bearing in mind the $hitty summer we had last year plus cleaning off tiny bits of pine cones every day is starting to vex me.
I appreciate that a garage would be a lot more ideal but until that day I will have to make do.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Was looking at these two companies.

Any thoughts my dear venerated brothers of V-Power.

LOL, Neil

Don't know about those makes, but I use a Noah car cover, which was a BMW dealer accessory, which I bought on a trip to the USA. It's light, tailored for the car and works a treat.

I have a fantastic outdoor car cover, with side access zips, straps to hold it down when the wind blows, elasticated edges, fully UV protected, a bag for storage and costwise it was about £160. Easy to wash, fully breathable and will NOT scratch the body.

Supplied by Cover Systems 01933 410851. Based in Rushden Northamptonshire.

I have had 5 different covers from these people:

indoor ones
breathable, can put on when the car is wet and it dries, but doesn't keep the car completely clean. It's great for regular use.
full waterproof. I kept a car stored outside with this on for 6 mths over winter. It looked like I just polished it when I took the cover off.

I recommend a taylored one, more money, but a snug fit stops chaffing and flapping

all excellent and nice people.

Neil,

I have to get some kind of cover for my 330 that is being left under a tree in the week. Took my other car down to work this week and it must have "poo here" on it in bird language, as It's now one rolling chod heap.

Let me know how you get one, I will need one that is washable as it's going to get filthy.
