Car Cover

Can anybody recommend a decent car cover?. When the weather gets a bit better I want to leave my car parked up by my house as getting it out of the garage is a pain due to other things always being in the way. Should get more use out of it if I can just go out of the door and hop in.

I got a good one from Halfords. Been covering car for 2 years now (lotus elan, not seven). A few rips but nothing you wouldnt expect. I had a cheaper splash proof type cover and needed 2 a year. The more expensive one is very good in comparison.

I got an outdoor cover from CBS early in 2016. The small size fits my Superspec just nicely and has a sort of soft flock inner lining. It has attached straps with buckles but I've never used those, preferring to hold the cover on securely with long bungees.

After 2 year's continual outside use I've found it's not completely waterproof as after heavy rain the outside goes darker grey where it has absorbed some water, and the body underneath shows a little wetness. Unfortunately the slight seep-through the material has meant my chrome headlamp cowls are now showing signs of rust. Annoyingly they are the only part of the Superspec not stainless steel or glass fibre.

I think that's where my last one came from. I have had it some years and mostly used it in the garage to keep the dust off but now the flock lining is disintegrating leaving tiny bits all over the car so it's not even any use inside. I don't intend to leave mine outside all the time, just when the weather is OK for a few days and I am likely to use it
