Car cover recommendations

Hi all,

Looking for recommendations for a car cover. I have the OEM cover, which is a great fit. But, I want something water-proof for better protection from snow and rain. Unfortunately I don't have a garage at this time.

Thanks in advance!

This one is pricy but looks like a good option. Thoughts? Experiences?

I have never used an outdoor car cover, so my concerns may be unnecessary, but

The thought of any cover, sitting on the paint, for months. being blown around with little bits of dust/sand/grit/etc under it scratching the paint the whole times gives me chills.

The other nightmare, is rodents making a home under there.

I would rather clean the car, give it a good coat of sealant and wax and let it sit.
Come spring, clean and polish it for the summer.


Besides, snow is the least of your problems in NC and I would risk rain over my other nightmares

Your car is my most personalized expensive possessions. you have a personal attachment to it. Just as you take extra care to keep your external look, attractive, fresh and appealing, you have the same attitude towards your car.

But since your car is always exposed to external environment, it is vulnerable to dusting and theft. so car cover is most important for your cars. i found a website here you can chose porche car cover, Thanks!

If you are in a dilemma on which flushing toilet suits your home, you better try the Kohler Highline Toilets https://bestflushingtoilets.org/kohl...oilet-reviews/. This brand is well known for the various outstanding features that make it fun to install in your bathroom. Take this tip and you will never regret it.

I also park my car outside. I used an OEM outdoor cover for a a few years but the material isnt really that durable for outdoor use and the cover started ripping after a few years. BMW 82-11-2-157-090

I bought another outdoor cover on Amazon from Leader Accessories. It is a true outdoor car cover but it does not have the same soft lining that the OEM cover has. It is not a perfect fit either. My cover fits sedans up to 185 and this is more than enough for our Zs

How do you ensure that your car stays in good condition all the time? The secret is buying the best car covers on the market. Having a car cover is vital especially if you do not have a garage. It protects your car from dings, dents, scratches and hazardous weather condition. For the best protection, you should look for a car cover that fits properly.


For most people, buying a car cover can be a tough job. How do you know which type of car cover is suitable for you? What are some of the most important things that you should have in mind when you are buying a car cover? Visit for more details: BMW car cover

My 2011 35is just went under cover. That was a little depressing.

Anyway, UPS delivered my WeatherTech indoor cover earlier this afternoon. Kind of pricey (about $450), but the quality is very good. The sew them to order, and it fits like a glove...to include little sewn-in mittens that cover the wing mirrors. Comes with a soft storage bag and something similar to a range bag to put that in. Recommended.

carport

Carport. Stays Dry and protected. I hated the car cover on my old Z4. This is the best thing next to a garage. (never should have converted mine into living *******
