Outdoor car cover
Hi folks.
Recently my council garage rent has been getting rather expensive, so I have a drive in front of the house where I can keep the Rover, however I would require a good quality outdoor car cover, I have an indoor one, but it will just blow off. Could anyone send me a link where I can buy a good quality cover suitable to protect the cars paintwork, also needs to be able to be tied down or hooked to the wheels.

I am not a fan of outdoor covers - they can scratch or sweat. I find a regular polish keeps the paint fine, but I do it at least once a week - not practical if time is of the essence or you live in a very wet area.

From people I've spoken to that use those covers ensure the inner lining is a soft cotton like material or the vinyl cover will leave abrasions on the paint over time.

I had a heavy duty cover with a fleece lining plus it had breathing vents. Ok in the dry but totally useless in the wet as the vents let in the water. Then it was a pain getting the cover dry to put back on the car.
