Indoor car covers

[bxlbaz]

Hi all,
I'm just trying to get some opinions on whether to use a car cover in a house garage or not and if so which would get recommendations, whilst still being affordable. The car is a MK 2 Jag and im not sure whether to bother with a cover or not, it wont be a daily or even weekly driver so it will accumulate dust, but I am concerned about marking the paint with a cover

Any thoughts or recommendations will be very welcome, I did a forum search but not much came up

Cheers
Barrie

One of my pals is hoping to buy one this weekend at the NEC. It has a frame ,like a tent, and sounds a lot more useable than some of the others available . I think Carcoon make it

Another one interested in indoor car covers.

Have a couple of cars sitting in my new to me garage which hardly get driven in the winter. Thinking of sahara car covers in the rough size for my cars to protect from dust and scratching from walking past. I don't have any experience with them but they seem good value. A bit tight up after moving house so not able to stretch to full tailored covers at the moment. I also don't have space for a carcoon, would also be a bit overkill as my garage is double skinned and centrally heated maybe I should not bother and just use some old clean dust sheets.

I bought a relatively cheap cover that's advertised in many classic mags, was ok, but the problem if found is condensation! (Single block garage) Car has literally been soaking under the cover. In the end I bought a carcoon 'veloce' which has a zip door to make access easier. Does a great job of keeping the car dust and moisture free.

In the summer I use an old cotton bed sheet and that seems to do the job perfectly!

Having spent many years with classics under an old bed sheet, unless you have central heating, I would advise against it. A sharp change in temperature will produce condensation and a cotton sheet with not breath well.

The mid level solution is a purpose-made breathable cover. I had Classic Additions make mine and they personally came out to measure my car. Quality is superb, fit is Saville Row and the price very reasonable. Am sure a quick call would elicit a discount as well.

Top level is of course the Carcoon but space, cost and mostly the faff of deflating unzipping to get your car out puts me off.

My car store has only used indoor covers from Cover Systems for many years

http://www.cover-systems.co.uk/car-covers/ingarage...

I bought one recently for use on a car parked at home and would highly recommend them

I've got a couple of the soft stretchy covers on cars which are ok but they're heavier by comparison and one lets in smaller dust particles

The Cover Systems covers are not cotton in order that they don't absorb moisture, are breathable, and easier to clean. Material finish is more similar to tent fabric than a soft stretchy cotton, and zips to door access panels are lined inside to protect the bodywork

Small but helpful thing - the front and rear corners of the cover have red or green corners to assist in placing the cover on the right way round and has an integral bag sewn in to the rear end of the cover. Cover is black

But you can't look at it with a cover on...where's the fun in that!
