Default a peek under the covers

its been a week or so since i last started her... we're between winter storms... too much salt on the road to drive for my taste.

im using a coverking autobody armor cover.. its amazing that it comes out as clean as it goes in... my wheels are a little extra dirty tho.. hopefully next winter i'll have a house with a garage.

Looks like the cover does a good job keeping the car clean. Won't you be glad when winter is over?

Just a question for the guys that keep there cars covered outside. Aren't you worried that the cover will flap and smack against the car when it's windy that'll it damage the paint?
