Car cover

I was wondering if the SLP car cover was a good one or not. If it's not, what one should I get to cover my car up for the winter? Thanks for the help.

Re: Car cover

I'll hijack this thread instead of making a new one. My buddy told me to be carefully pulling a cover off my car in the cold because it will scratch the paint? any tips? I just bought a GM one used off ebay.

Re: Car cover

I don't know what temperature would have to do with it. Just make sure the vehicle is freshly washed before covering.

Car sits outside spoiler is freshly painted (about 2 months ago, going to be waxing it soon) i'd be covering it on days with chances of snow and whatnot and driving it (pending it wasn't a large amount of snow) IDK he said it would cause some light scratch marcks esp to my spoiler.

I'll trust you over him tho ZaneO, he's not a bodyshop person or anything.

Re: Car cover

I guess I could see some covers becoming hard/brittle in the freezing weather, but who knows?

Re: Car cover

I have a cover from california car cover and am very pleased. It holds out 99.9% of dust, and repels my wife's damned cat tracks all over the car.
