Car Covers

Post by stephenj »

Ok, now the new Rev3 is settled into the garage I have decided that it could do with a cover to protect it from kids squeezing past, dust etc. I have been having a look around and keep coming across a sahara cover for around £60 - does anyone have one of these, if so, would you recommend it.

Any other recommendations will be gratefully received :D

I would imagine you won't be getting much for £60 and would probably end up scratching the car.

Covers worth having are around the £150-£200 mark like stormforce covers etc.

If it's purely for indoors it will be fine for protecting the car. I think that's the model I have for mine, which keeps it protected from the little one and the cats climbing all over it.

If it was outdoors then the Monsoon would be the minimum I'd go for.

I have the Stormforce vented cover and it is awesome. I use it about 4 months of the year outdoors and highly recommend it. As long as the car is clean and relatively dust free it is fine.

As Craig said, this is a decent one and has a soft lining so even outdoors the paintwork is well protected.

The car is only ever going to be stored in the garage (which is nice and dry)and is not a daily driver, so I just want something that'll give the paintwork some protection.
