Lesson learned....
Discussion
Having just used the 'search' facility it would seem that the car cover I have been using has caused micro-blistering on the Cerbera.
I noticed it at the weekend, thought it had started raining again but drops turned out to be blisters. Jeez, the worst case is the roof where the cover is in constant contact (and with the recent weather constantly wet).
I don't suppose by any remote chance they will go down again once the moisture has dried out? Any ideas?

Sorry to hear about your paintwork! I am just considering a Covercraft outdoor Cerbera cover, but not sure whether it's a 'noah' or not.
Currently have a DuPont hi tech cover from Halfords on the car - but with old winceyette sheet between the car and the cover. Seems to be okay - it is breathable, but often sheet is damp.
So, I should perhaps not bother with the Covercraft Outdoor cover then......

Nicky, you didn't mention the Thunder Ball
I have got a hamilton classic moltex 3 car cover. It seems very good to me and good value for money too.

Thanks Ads, will take a look!
No probs. Its like a fleece lined cover, and hasn't scratched mine over the past year that i have had it. They do also say that you can put the cover on when the car is wet, although I never have.
I got sent through a sample of the material, before buying, and tested it. It doesn't let water in from one side, but will let water out from the other. So seems to do what they say.

Hmm I know I have posted this before but search cant find it. I replaced my covercraft cover (by the way I complained and was told the outdoor cover is NOT weatherproof ffs) with something else which is fantastic. Soft inside, breathable yet totally waterproof. I often put it on wet no problems. Problem is I cant remember what it is , I think its a hamilton Moltex but not 100% sure, have to check later. Anyway it was less than half the price of the covercraft one and it works.
Its not as pretty as the custome made one but who cares if it does the job !

I struggle with the idea of a full cover being any good for a car. Unless:
the inside is so soft as not to cause abrasion
it breathes
it keeps water out
it stays put in high winds!
seen so many people unhappy with perfomance of their covers that they would have been better off giving the car a good wax every month. I was considering one for my car but have resorted to a hood cover instead (just to keep water out)

The cover I have has like a fleece lining, its very soft. Like you I was a bit worried, that is why I gathered lots of samples of the material that they use, before I bought one. Plus it does keep water out, but also if there is any water under the cover it can evaporate out of the cover. The tie hooks seem to work well too.
By the way i do not work for the company. I am just very impressed with mine, especially for the money.
By the way where abouts in the south east are you? I think I have seen you driving around.

There's a guy around our way has his Caterham in a Carcoon.

It looked very good as it didn't touch the paintwork. I've seen other framed versions such as these Cair-o-port

Luckily I have a big garage

998, i love ya cerbera, looks amazing
Yes mine has a few micro blisters on the drivers side wing and a few on the roof and if its down to me putting on a cover, bugger!
998 I can see there is a bit of photoshop on the your picture, so is that the real colour because it looks great and if I ever needed a re-spray I would be so tempted.
