Car covers for winter??
« on: September 25, 2011, 06:34:44 pm »
Does anyone on here have/use a decent car cover? I was planning on NOT driving my ED30 through the winter but don't currently have any garage space so therefore looking at covers. Seen a few but worried about scratching, moisture and generally doing something stupid to the clean paintwork.

Seen a few good quality ones for around £150+ but does anyone on here use one or have any thoughts on them?

Cheers, Andy.

I asked a similar question on another forum
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=206598.0
But i was asking about indoor ones. But i guess the companys recomended also do outdoor ones too.
It may be some help to you or may not.

Is whats put me off so far is how people have warned of 'rubbing'  But the premium ones should be very soft inner material and breathable....
