folding dirty car covers is a royal pita.

Copy. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. I am trying to learn as this is my first sports car. I really care for it and want to protect it and I've only driven rock crawlers thus far. So the idea of car covers and protecting the paint are new to me. In going to have to Google what a spary sealent even is. I am trying to learn.

If you plan to drive it and then cover it up, you may as well just not cover it because covering a dirty or dusty car is worse than having a bird crap on it. That dust under the cover is like 4000 grit sand paper.

Thank you for the clarification.

but if you cover it right after you wash it, your car will rust.

i speak from experience using 'breathable' reputable covers. :ugh:
the only cover i use is for covering dust during hibernation... in a covered garage.

oh, and to protect from my occasional clumsiness bumping my arse into my cars while i move something in the garage... :ugh:

Well those of us in the know will DRY our cars thoroughly BEFORE we cover them. That's why the Air Force Master Blaster is such a sweet tool. Add to that, most cars are now made of materials that DON'T rust. These are not 64 Fords...

im not trying to judge you junkman, you know your stuff.

im just saying car covers are a pita in general and i personally would NOT use it on a dd or any daily used hobby car.

and i like to see someone stick their heads into the wheel wells each time to dry off their suspension bits completely.

arms do rust. my car's arms are not rusted at all... cause i dont get her dirty from the start.

kenchan 12-10-2014 10:47 AM

and i hate rusted rotors too. :mad:

You don't have to stick your head OR hands in there to get them fry, just BLOW on them. ;)

Does anyone have a suggestion on a good super soft lined car cover. I will be deploying and will be storing my car in my dads steel garage while I am gone. Wouldn't be thinking cover but the car will be sitting 10+ months. I've seen a few covers but the lining doesn't look that soft. Water proof/ sun proof isn't really a worry since that side of the garage will be minimally opened.

The rest of us are too excited about our cars to remember we have any I guess. :tup:

I'm too poor to not think before I act. That's why I won't visit strip clubs and casinos. You walk in and they stamp a big "S" on your forehead by just looking at you. :ugh2:

I did but I guess I was looking for some feedback on members experiences with specific covers they have encountered
I personally when I shop for motherboards look for only boards with the appropriate socket that I need but I still will read the reviews from other customers just to get things from there point of view. Sorry for asking for another person's insight
