Vehicle Covers - Any Recc's?

[alpineaudi]

Evening all - Not lucky enough to have a garage at the moment. 2016 Daytona SQ5 gets awfully dirty in the driveway just a few days after a detail. Anyone have any recommendations on car covers they use? A forum search didn't seem to have any info on the topic so apologies if I missed an existing thread. Thanks in advance!

I don't have any recommendations on specific car covers, but in general, it's not a great idea if you care about your paint. It traps crap in between your paint and the cover so you end up with micro scratches (if you're lucky) or worse when the cover moves around. If you do decide to use one, make sure the car and the cover are both super clean before putting it on.

yeah car should be detailed before putting the cover on each time.

I see - didn't think of that. Probably the reason the forum search didn't pull much - no one uses them :) Thanks!

Haha well I'm sure some people must. If you're finding the car gets dirty too quickly and you don't have an easy way to clean it up, you might want to look into a coating like Opti-Coat or CQuartz. I live in NYC and don't have a driveway available to me normally, but I had CQuartz put on and am able to pretty easily clean up the car using a no rinse wash or even sometimes just rinsing the car with a hose when visiting family in NJ.

Thanks - I am already looking into Opti. VroomVroom gave me a recc. for a installer here in the Bay
