Car cover for garage kept Z06??
Can anyone offer advice on whether a care cover is beneficial for a new Z06 that will be garage kept and is a weekend driver? I think its a good idea to protect from elements even inside. Any thoughts on best type of cover and where to get it?

I have a satin stretch cover. Don’t use it during driving months but put it on for storage. The GM cover is also good. |
what elements are inside your garage besides dust? it isn't a piece of historic art... Jesus

Thanks appreciate the effort.
|
Yes I cover mine inside to keep off the dust. Cover craft form fit.

Got a nice indoor cover for my new ZO6 from Zip Corvette for $159 and free shipping. It's fitted for my Stage 3 Aero, has soft inside and comes with a storage bag. I had a similar cover from Zip for my C6 Grand Sport and it served the purpose well.:thumbs:

The cover is more harmful than dust. The garage is your car cover. Don't waste your money, dust doesn't harm the car,

:iagree: You can actually cause more paint issues putting these on and taking them off. When I go out to my garage I like to look at cars not covers.
|
You will need to wash the car every time before you put the cover on as the elements on the car from driving can scratch the paint as you drag the cover on and off.
|
To these comments above, I agree. The cover doesn't get put on mine unless it's washed and clean (and not going to be driven for a week+)
|
Start with a California Dust Buster and gently wipe off the dust between weekend drives. I bought a cover when I lived in Chicago and used it during the winter hibernation, however after moving to Florida, I haven’t taken it out of the storage bag. |
I use one in the winter when it's not driven for a month or 2 at a time. |
Thanks for all the great advice. I am going to compromise and get one just for winter hibernation and will make sure the car is washed and polished prior to covering. I just had a detached garage built for the car and my kids car but its not insulated or sheetrocked. I am curious if anyone would have any concerns?

Ordered my first vette a coupe in 2005. When it came in the dealer called and said we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of our dealership and would like to display your car “behind ropes” and if you allow that for the weekend, we will compensate you. There were several compensation offers. I took the car cover and have used it on four Vette’s including my two Z06s. I cover only in non driving months. |
