Aftermarket outside car covers

[subwiz]

I am considering the purchase of an outside car cover and was looking for feedback from anyone that already has either a good cover or one to avoid...

Thanks,

David.

I've got a Technalon Evolution car cover purchased from http://www.carcoversdirect.com . Their service was remarkably quick to Alaska and I got a pretty good price. The cover itself is very thick and fills up most of the rear trunk when folded. The material is perforated to allow breathability, but I found water still beads on the exterior surface. The worst moisure buidup I saw all winter was a slight fogginess on the areas of body not exposed to the sun. The interior of the material which contacts the paint is slick....almost like Teflon. I think it does a good job preventing scratches. Around the base of the cover is strong elastic to help it hug the lower body. I bouhg the optional lock for it as well.

The cover on my Boxster, some time around January:

I know, I'm a bad person.

Hi Rodger,

Thanks for the reply.

Looking at the photos it reminds me why I moved to Florida from the UK ;)
