Default Car Covers

I am tired of having my beauty out in the elements as the garage is full right now. Hope to clear that up soon. Any suggestions?

I see some with our vendors and I have some found less expensive ones (cheaper?) locally. I have neer been a fan of car covers but, I am so busy tat I only get to drive the car a few times a week and I want to protect it from the elements.

Thanks for any help.

I bought a cover that fits fine at Target. It was cheaper than a house with more garage space. It was about 20 dollars and seems to be as good as the ones I see available from time to time on E-bay.

The effects on the paint is my major concern. I assume that by taking it off frequently and letting it dry (it hasn't rained here in a while, though we had a very wet spring).

The NOAH cover is well worth the money. Put NOAH in the search tool.

Yup, you should be prepared to keep the paint surface clean. I bought a duster to clean stuff off before covering. And if it rains, I take the cover off the car and hang it out to dry.

Now my paint is failing on the roof, so I don't bother with the cover anymore. And I can be normal again and spend my time worrying about other more important things than my car's 21 year old crazing clear coat.....like taking a nap or watching fights on my big screen. Life is good again, and I sleep better at nights and have erotic dreams. All this from ignoring the paint on my machine and giving the finger back to teenagers who notice the bad paint. Life is good. Save your money and your mental health. Plus you'll have more room in the car for other stuff....like women. And you'll even want to converse with them too.

Go out get a dumpster and put everything in the garage into it if you don't whant to get rid of everything just close the lid on the dumpster- and it will stay dry and your car can go inside

Search "weathershield" too. I've posted my experience and there's positive input from others.
