Outdoor waterproof car cover

[Jemacd]

Hi all - looking for recommendations for an outdoor waterproof car cover for my new 11. I've searched the forum (see pic) and also called AMOC (see other pic)...but just wanted to know if I'm looking in the right places. Despite being garaged, there are times it'll be outside in the elements so I wanna make sure the bird poo, acidic rain and stuff is protected against. As ever, your help is enormously appreciated.

Still interested in whether you guys and girls think the AMOC premium outdoor cover is the way to go (and no, I'm not a carcoon fan...)

I have an AMOC outdoor car cover for my Vantage, and thoroughly recommend it. Has a soft fleecy backing and so long as you car is clean prior to use, keeps the paintwork in top condition.

I think they are made by Specialized in any case, but hopefully AMOC will be in touch.

Thanks James.

Hi Jemca,

Just in case you are as impatient as myself....

Head to the bottom of the listing to Stormshield + (from £299.00) - Well worth the investment in my humble opinion.

You star. And yes, patience is not my middle name. Is that the same as I'm waiting on from Linda at AMOC? If so I'm buying it now.

100%.....The Stormshield + has 3 layers and a soft fleece lining.

As your DB11 is a new model, there may be a bit of a lead time as they hand stitch them in Shipley, but its effectively the same cover as the AMOC one I have.

Awesome. Done. Ticket closed. James - appreciated.

Why not? A Carcoon keeps the car dry with a constant flow of air and no part of the cover touches the bodywork.
I've had an outdoor Carcoon for 14 years, admittedly for infrequent use, but it has kept my cars clean and dry for the cost of running 2 computer fans while keeping their batteries conditioned at the same time.
Perhaps more impressively, my son in law had to keep his Jaguar XJS under an outdoor Carcoon on the hardstanding outside his house for 4 years. It stayed completely clean and dry in rain, sun and snow.
I wouldn't mess around with any cover that rested on the bodywork particularly in windy conditions. The Carcoon, although not cheap, is very durable and is the nearest thing to a portable garage. I know you have to deflate it to use the car, but it takes very little time to walk the zip round the outside and it reinflates in under 10 minutes.
