bigbravedave - 13/12/12 at 04:32 PM

Ok so the rare times a throw a cover over one my cars its an old sheet or blanket, But I was thinking for Christmas I could buy the old man an indoor car cover to through over his recently resprayed classic . (yes he is one of them guys who has all he wants and is impossible to buy for)

So can anyone recommend a good indoor car cover, I was thinking he might like it more if it had a logo on it.

I have no idea where to start with this (do they scratch paint?)

I use halfords outdoors premium but my car actually lives outdoors!

No advice pn fixing logos or such like to it though.

I'm interested in this too because my tin top lives outdoors but doesn't get used for half the year. I don't want to trap moisture inside and I don't believe that breathable fabrics work unless there's a temp difference across them (causing the moisture to turn to vapour and leave that way), so it leaves me wondering if it's worth it at all. Especially when high winds could cause paint damage even on clean bodywork?
