sl114 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Personally i wouldnt bother mate. I hate the idea of a cover as any bit of dirt you get can scratch the paintwork when you put it on and take it off. Id stay well clear. My Dad had one for the camaro, it was one of the top ones that say they do not scratch the car. It was complete crap as there were scratch marks all over it.

nixy Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I thought of getting one a while back as i don't have a garage but all the advice I got was the same as what louis has said - they scratch your car. It's alright to put one on for storage but not if you keep taking it on and off again. Bit of rain won't scratch your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 didnt think of that, i thought the more expensive ones had like a cotton inner bit, so ya all reckon not to bother ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 it's not the scratching from the cover, it's the scratching from what gets on the cover so it doesn't matter what it's made of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
get12 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I have a cover and I think that if you are careful about it there is nowt wrong with using one - and this is from a person who spent £220 on a detailer to come out and remove swell marks from a new 06 car! For example, I washed it the weekend before last and stuck the cover on it (I have a four layer 'Stormforce' all weather cover from Cover-Zone - cost me £120), I did not use the car again 'till this Sunday. Once the car is used from clean dont put the cover on again until you have given it a good clean again, and be careful when you put on and remove the cover - roll on, roll off - you'll know what I mean if you get one!
