Default Could someone recommend a good car cover?

As much as this hurts to say it...I need one that is good for all-weather protection.

As always - Thanks!

My C3s and C5 have sported a variety over the years and I have learned its about purpose you wish them to fulfill. I have used the four-layer covers on both C3s and my C5. But, for all-weather protection, I love Mid-America's Typhoon class covers. Keeps moisture off the body. I hated the four-layers...after it poured, I had to remove the cover and let everything dry.

Now for indoors, just picked up Corvette America's Onyx black Spandex for the C3 (indoors) and love it...so far. Lightweight and stretchy!

Dear Silver72...I live in PHX...I have 9 cars, quite a few live in the driveway.
I've tried EVERYONE of the Car covers.

I am so convinced that I've broken the code as to car covers I'll type in caps. LOL

Covercraft MODA 4 layer COSTCO $36 normal price....and here's the zinger....

BUY TWO FOR EACH CAR...$72.....for a car outside under every kind of weather except SNOW/ICE....you put both covers on....when the top one gets worn out, rotate it to the wife's car and put the new one underneath the original.


Clean cover next to car...8 layers of dust and moisture and UV protection. Tie the cover on so it doesn't flap and abrade the paint.

This way, in my driveway in PHX....$72 per year. Per Car.

The Vettes are in the garage with ONE Covercraft MODA on them and some brand new used-for-nothing else HFT movers matts on top.

Do not assume that because the cars are in the driveway, they are not a valuable as the Vettes ($$$-wise, not love wise!)

Man, this system works a treat.

Now before someone who doesn't know me chimes in...I'm from NO.VT.
there is nothing you can teach me about ice/snow/cold/hail/avalanches etc.

If you are Storing your Vette outside in these conditions;
1. Smack upside the head.
2. You've got bigger problems than a car cover can solve.

The $250+ car cover guys can kiss Zora's dead ***!

Unkahal
