thanks..

this is what i have been looking for

I reckon they do more harm than good.

Had one for a Focus RS I kept outside and unless the car was super clean and dry, you end up with tiny scratches all over it.

I'll never use one again.

+1 easy way to ruin a car
you don't need a cover on a modern car lol

Covers are good to keep cars dust free in garages but they are pointless and potentially worse than not using one for a car that's kept outdoors (as others have said).

I have heard about the fact that the car needs to be spotless otherwise scratches will be terrible. Maybe I spoke too soon as I wnated one to go on and off once a week.

This looks like a no go....

What about a car port or tarpaulin?

I've been toying with that idea for winter.

I really wouldnt bother. Just put a few good coats of good carnuba wax on it and wash it regularly.

These are about the best. When i kept my cars out side i always bought from this company. Car must always be clean when fitting the cover,then they kept my car as new.

what about a carcoon, quite expensive but excellent in place of a garage and no dust or chances of bodywork getting rubbed/scratched. Depends if you have space for one or if you are on road.

[khooni]

simply for the fact that i am using the car every other week, it makes sense to just apply wax and wash regularly. My garage is dusty but dust is way better than scratches.... so there, idea dropped. back to paying for some bloke to wash the car biweekly and me waxing it afterwards.

Sounds like you might end up with scratches after all!

I'm seriously thinking about just putting up a tarpaulin above the drive to keep the snow off. Almost have the plans drawn up...

Does anyone have one of the Cayman covers linked in the thread? I'd like to have a cover for the car while it sits in the garage over winter. I have a Cayman with the TechArt GT Sport kit so I am not sure if the cover has enough space for the rear wing.
