outdoor car cover
 
i recently moved into an apartment complex with a car port. it is closed in the back, but open in the front. I would like to get a car cover that is for outdoor use, just to completely protect my baby. Now i kno many people say that outdoor covers will scratch your paint. however i believe my car is enough out of the wind that storms shouldnt be a huge issue. also, i believe a nice, well made, snug fitting cover can also prevent this.

I basically jsut want to see what a lot of z people are going with for an outdoor cover. any pics or tips are greatly appreciated!

it's actually the grit that's on your car that causes the scuffs. even the nicest covers will scuff your paint via the grit unless your paint is 100% clean....which is hard to do if dd and outdoors.

Plus a cover at an apartment is just asking for attention

I'm very happy with my Covercraft model# C17117PG for my 370Z
Sports Coupe.

Just keep it washed and waxed. No need to worry so much it's not a Lambo or anything.

I just put my car cover on for the first time yesterday. I did not clean it before hand..am I asking for trouble? I figure either way, it's better than it being exposed to the elements all day long.

this is not my dd and stays VERY clean. i have heard good things about covercraft. as for attention, there are a couple cars around here with covers on them and i dont think they have been messed with.

I had a nice cover before years ago when I lived in a very small complex (4 units). Was kind of the same situation where the carport was closed in the front, but open in the back. The cover lasted about 3 weeks until it was stolen. :(

Cable locks don't do much...

Personally.. I would NEVER put a cover on my car...not even if I just washed it. I'm just sayin. Sorry..I know I'm not being helpful...just lookin' out for ya! :tup:

My car sits outside without a cover or being a garaged.

Horrible mentality towards vehicle care. It's a "Lambo" to me.
