Car covers

Sep 97 EL XR8 · 30-10-2018, 07:38 PM

Hi everyone
I unfortunately park my GT out in the open, and will not get it under cover any time soon.

I want to try and protect it some how, and was thinking a lot external car cover could be used.

Does any one recommend a good external cover

Thanks

I bought a 6m x 3m free standing gazebo like thing that worked really well for 6 months until a big wind grabbed hold of it and tore the canvas roof in two...

If your car is in a relatively protected are, this would be my suggestion.

Mine was only $160 odd on eBay, and honestly it was very good until I got careless and moved something that was giving the protecting the structure from high winds.

My GT lives outside as well. You need a totally waterproof fitted cover that has breathing vents. Needs to be storm guard material, Autotechnica brand.

I run this one and the car is always immaculate. Never needs washing. I just roll it up a bit on weekends to allow any excess condensation to evaporate.

I have a covercraft indoor one I picked up a little cheaper online. I havent seen a better quality cover yet. I cant comment on outdoor ones.

if you have the room, ie not on the street, go gumtree, buy second hand garage/shed erect this without the side walls, yeah too elaborate I know

Or an old insulated truck pantec, 2.5 X 6m perfect portable off street garage.

My cousin has a 2 auto technica indoor ones for his E55 Charger and Dodge charger R/T. They are good covers for the money. I wouldnt use it outdoors though. Covercraft kills the auto tech one in every way though. (Alot more $$ too).

Thanks every one, I had not heard of covercraft, I have emailed them for a price

Cheers and thanks
