Car Cover Advice
« on: 22 June 2010, 12:04 »
I'm off on a Eurpean holiday soon, and will probably be camping for part of the journey. Often you have to park under trees, so i wondered if any of you could recommend a good, reasonbly priced, compact car cover.

I went to Halfords and there are 2 types. A nylon type at £35 which worryingly said do not use on paint under 3 months old?!?!? Why??? and also said that you had to remove the cover after 24 hours to let the condensation escape! Why again??

The other type (advanced) was too expensive at £65.

Any advice on brands/types to go for would be greatly appreciated...

There are plenty on the market [Google it] but if £65 is too expensive it's not worth it. You won't get a good quality cover for less than that.

I just reupped the pix of mine for you, as they were down. The cover is very nice, but it's for indoor use only and I only use it for storing the car in the winter.
