Outdoor Car Protection

hi everyone,

new to the forum here.

anyway, im planning to start my new build, unfortunately, i only have a 1 car garage. so in order for me to get the project car in the garage, gotta take out and park my other car (soft top roadster) outside. i don't use both of these cars. i have a DD.

what would be the best way to protect my car outdoors? tarps,shelterlogic...etc? protection from paint fade, moisture etc...

any input is golden.

cheers!

Choose a good sealant and seal your car up!

If you are planning to park the car outside, i would re-apply every 4 months or sooner and build up layers to protect your car's paint/clear coat

Remember, the key is to use something that you like, and use it often.

Hope this helps!

I picked up one of those portable garage tents from Candian tire for one of my projects and it worked well. It was on sale for like 300$ and it is 12ft by 20ft. They do sell smaller ones though too.

I wouldnt trarp it for the reason that if you leave it out for the whole season and the tarp moves around (from the wind) it may burn through your paint....
