Default Re: car cover

It depends on where you see the most use for it. Outside or inside?
Will it see lots of moisture or not?
likelihood of it being stolen?

I have two covers. One is cheap and replaced often
the other is thicker and more $.

Both can be ordered here:
http://www.the-cover-store.com/CarCo...ror%20Pockets;

The cheap on is used outside.
The thicker more expensive one for inside. It'll last for years
and giver extra "cush" against accidental bumps.
Both are a "custom fit" so they have the little ears for the mirrors.

Default Re: car cover

Coverking Satin cover is the best cover for indoor use. I have used many different covers over the years. This is why I say it is the best cover on the market IMO, My cars dont get driven a lot because of my schedule, When I do use them I clean them before my next trip if necessary than wax and but the cover on, two three four weeks later no dust, no seem marks, just like a waxed it 15 minutes ago. I have Five, Three indoor and two outdoor.

Default Re: car cover

Does anyone make a car cover with the outside looking like a corvette?
Or for that matter the outside looking like any car?

I know it is an indoor cover, The only thing that I did not like about the cover was it seemed thick, When I saw it at Bloomington I was looking for a correct cover (well fitting) For my Pacecar. When I saw this cover it is custom cut so I am sure it would fit well, however it seemed like it was thick and would not breathe to me. When I asked the person at the display he did not know and he would not let me pour a little water on the one they were showing.
