Thread: Car cover for the winter

Tweet

Hi guys !

I need a car cover for the winter - snow and minus 5-10 degrees celcius.

I was browsing ebay, but there is a lot, and different price, which one can you recommend? Or maybe a producent?

Here's a link:
universal car cover | eBay

Kind regards

You want to contact California Car Cover. They have many types of covers for any and all applications. If you care about your car, don't buy a cheapie from ebay.

you can put up a carport just as cheap .

The best car cover is going to get dirty on the inside over time, and become abrasive to your finish as the cover blows. The only time a car cover makes sense to me is after you've washed and polished the car, and want to keep it from getting dusty in the garage. Leaving it exposed to the snow is better than a cover, IMO.

if i paint a car and it is covered outside i will not warranty it at all. same with plastic or tarps.

Even the best car cover will rub on your paint, blow off, get dirt between it and the car. If you have a car with good paint, use one only in the garage. Been there, done that, 3 times - 3 times car was damaged.

I always was curious to hear from someone who had one of those inflatable "cacoons" that inflate with an inert gas like argon.
That way any rodents would croak before they can do damage... And they don't touch the cars paint...

Anyone here ever know of someone with one of these?

I've heard good things of them.

The only car cover I will use is by California Car Covers. Then, I'll only use it indoors AND when the car is perfectly clean.

Hi Guys ! Thank alot for all the replys ! I had though puttin up a carport, but the big issue for me os the time i think i just let i stay outside, and clean it sometimes through the winter

Are there rental storage units in Denmark? Here there are storage units everywhere, I would look into one of these before letting a nice car sit outside.

My friend has one he parks his 69 Camaro in. It works great but I don't think it would take much wind etc outside of a garage.

Thanks for the info 40.. it seems like a neat concept.

Nah, not expensive, but i like/want to have the car right at the house so i can work on it in the evening and weekend

You're seriously thinking that you'll be outside working on the car at 15 to 23F (-10 to -5C) ambients? Things on the car that are normally flexible break at those temps, besides your body getting chilly. Of course you have the same thing in a non-heated storage unit or garage, minus the elements.
