Default Car Covers

Hey all,

What do you think is the best car cover to use to protect my car from the elements. I do not have a garage to store the car in.

Thank you

John

I asked the guys who just detailed my car about this. They said only use a car cover right after you wash it, or else you are going to scratch your car because it will move dust around on your paint and will also have dust stuck to the car cover. So be careful with these.

Tweek is right, you do want a clean smooth car, and it's also best to get a fitted car cover. Heres a link to a chart on covercraft that'll help determine which one is best for you.

I use one with the flannel liner and fitted with the mirror pockets. Then over that I put the actual GM Monte Carlo car cover. Double protection, and it says Monte Carlo on the front nose section of it.

Link for GM cover:

Check out the covercraft noah. It's an all weather cover, making it perfect for outdoor use.
