Car Cover, Yay or Nay? VSFW
 

wondering if its a good or a bad idea to use a car cover. :confused:

garage is in use, and only have the backyard to park.

some say its bad for the paint, and it not a good idea.

anyone used/using one?

Thanks.
VSFW means very safe for work. haha :D

how long are you storing it for?

if its for over 3 months, i advise you to use one, but sometimes a car cover can scratch the car's paint due to wind

you need to find those better ones which the inside cloth is weaved like microfiber....

don't really plan on storing it for a long time. i drive it a couple times a week.
will it screw up the paint? as in all the condensation/moisture built up etc?

there shouldn't be moisture, just make sure the car is completely dry before you put the cover on

what if its raining or snowing outside. lol

I wouldn't put it on when it snows.

And clean, Id say putting it onto a DIRTY car will scratch your paint faster than anything else

your driving it a couple times a week?? then why would you want to cover it??

Covering a car creates moisture that can't escape creating rust and other problems. I would never cover a car outdoors especially in vancouver weather.

I wouldn't

I've seen some seriously fucked up cars from covers. Cars were designed to sit outside. Unless you own a Porsche or Ferrari, don't worry. And if you actually own an accord, then defiantly don't worry about it.

I use a car cover for my car, but only when i go out of town for work for extended periods of time. Always put a baking soda box in the car to capture odors and excess moisture. I haven't had any problems, just make sure the inside is good material like hk20000 said. If you are driving it 2x a week all that taking on and off might not be good for the paint. Also, if you are storing it, make sure to put a nice coat of wax to protect the paint from the cover.

get one only if you are ok with spending over 120$

cheap covers will scratch your paint and fak shit up...
trust me..

it really depends on what car you're planning to cover, and how much money you're willing to spend

don't need a cover
