Best outdoor car cover
Discussion
I'm very mixed on this.
I have a cover for mine, but I'm not using it very much.
It keeps detritus and bird sh*t off it, but I have a little of the dreaded paint bubbling that wasn't there when I bought the car.
It's cheaper and easier to clean the car than to get it resprayed.
On the other hand, keeping rainwater from running down through the engine bay helps to reduce some of the inevitable rust that appears on certain bits.
And when it gets cold and icy, I feel it's helpful to keep frost etc off the roof and the rest of the car for that matter, the cover takes the brunt of it.
Not a definitive answer, but an honest "not sure".

Hi
I have use one of these covers on my Chimaera for around 16 years
The car is permanently left on my drive when not being used
I have not had an issue with scratches or paint bubbling.
It is a generous fit and waterproof and breathable..I have had 3 of these covers over the years and they do fall apart eventually due to the Suns UV rays
The inside layer of 5 is very soft and slides easily over the body work without scratching it.
Mostly I don’t even tie it down unless it’s windy.
The car is mostly clean with an annual polish so not over the top.
I think the problem others have had is due to cheap non breathable covers that are too tight .
These aren’t cheap but worth the money in my opinion
I use my car weekly all year long as long as it’s not wet or Icy

When it’s rained for days on end I sometimes look and it’s nearly always dry underneath .
I then may lift it off for a few hours
I also have a half cover on my Convertible XK
