Car Covers

[Inline 6]

sorry if its a repost

but anyone use those thick ass water proof car covers they sell in car shops? the 1s with the soft cloth inside.

im assuming if you put it on a dirty car itll do more harm than good when it rubs around.

but if you wash the car before putting it on are they good for the paint work n such?

My experience with car covers is that they produce static electricity and get all sorts of sand and dirt stuck to your car and cover. When you put on and take off the cover, it rubs against the paint work and causes small scratches.

Not sure if the one you're talking about is any different.

You answered your own question old boy, usually i lay a rug over the car first then car cover over top just so i know i wont get any little scratches

If you buy one just make sure its one that has decent tie down's for it

from my experience the heavy fabric ones arent the best as they do tend to scratch the car especially on windy days. . if its got the cloth inside is should be fine. it has to be able to breathe too whether it be air vent pockets around the car cover. ive got myself a nice soft one that i used to use which i really liked, obviously not 100% water proof but was nice and easy to roll up..ha
