Where Can I Get A Good Indoor Car Cover?

[Shaun]

Gday,

Just wondering if anyone out there has bought (or knows where to get) a good indoor car cover. By good, i mean one that is designed to suit the needs of a finatical car enthusiast. I dont need one that is for outdoor use, as it will be in my garage. Looking to spend under $200 if thats possible.

And yes, i have tried Auto barn, Supercheap etc. I just cant seem to find info on them in Australia; they're all in the states.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Whats wrong with the ones for sale at the shops you listed?

I find that the ones they have for sale at supercheap, autobahn etc are pretty shit. I don't know if all car covers are like the ones they sell, but when you take the cover off, a lot of dust and sand gets stuck to the car which means it can get scratched easier.

All those covers are the same.

We have a VERY expensive one on our Chev, dust still goes through.

We got those thick winter type sheets and stitched them together as a first layer, they sit on the paint, all nice and soft, then the other cover goes over it.

Can't remember the name of the material, but it's those really thick winter sheets etc. Others will know.

i would like to get one of those inflatable car covers./ you drive into it and blow it up. really i think its the best way to keep the dust off. i havent been able to find anyone in oz that sells em.

That actually looks like it'll do the job, but it also looks like it's made for a toy for some reason

Thats the aussie mob that do em - bit pricey tho

I actually ended up buying one on sale at Super Cheap for $149. Its for indoor use only (its made from polar fleece fabric which is really soft) and fits like a glove! Im really happy with it.

The other indoor car covers are too expensive as all the ones i found are over $350.

whats recommended for outdoor..? brand and price..?

[mad082]

just get a few exhaust fans fitting in the garage and leave them running all the time. that will suck up a lot of dust. then put plastic down the sides and make sure it has plenty of static electrcity. that will make it kind of like a spray booth.

^^lol thats alot of effort just to keep a car clean I use one of the autotechnica covers, the ones in the red box, can't remember what they are called. For my car which sits outside. Works very well, can't see any reason why you wouldn't use it inside either....

Does dust and sand get stuck to it when you take it off by any chance?

I dunno, i havent taken it off yet. I can see how it would though; you'd have to store it in a clean place (it comes with a bag with a zipper), and you'd also have to make sure that the car is clean before you put it on again. Its not a problem for me though because my car isnt a daily driver.

Flanelette sheets are what i think you are referring to.

lol at the above suggestions . . . . .

indoor car covers are shit. keeping it indoors is more than enough

the dust will still get thru anyway. may also wear the paint where it touches the car.

better off just letting it get dusty without the cover and cleaning when u need it clean

[smurfpirate]

if your just ganna keep it indoors then a outdoor cover will work more then enough. super cheap have good kenco ones tht are pretty good.
