Default Car Cover??

Anyone use the "5 layer" cover from many of the sellers on that famous internet site? Say's it has the added extra layer of fleese to protect paint. Thanks

Car covers are nice but will scratch your paint. Any kind will scratch your paint because the car and or cover are never perfectly clean. For indoor covering, if you're not going for looks,...I like a good quality bed sheets. Now here are the reasons: 1. they are light weight...less likely to scratch while putting on or removing. 2. I use three sheets, one on the roof then one on front and rear....easier to put on. 3. A cinch to keep clean. Much easier to wash than a big cover. Just my 30= years of experience talking.

Yep have heard of that.Its A great Idea.
I personnally back my car out of the garage Spray it with water and then wipe it down with 100% cotton towels.This does not seem to be scratching the paint but microscopically im sure it is. What ya gona do?
A guy yelled out last year going by that I was wiping the paint off my car .(Ha Ha)
