JackyBoi Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hi all - firstly I KNOW that this topic has been covered many times before but cannot for the life of me find the thread! Anyway I need a car cover for my Supra as I'm restoring the paintwork and figured it'd be a good idea to keep it covered when I'm not driving it. Ideally something that won't scratch it to buggery in the wind and doesn't cost an absolute bomb! What do you guys recommend? Thanks all (P.S. If someone can find the thread just post it here!)

Ric Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Every cover will scratch no matter how clean the car is and how soft the cover is. The only one which won't is the carcoon types but they won't really work well on a street driveway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Yep all covers scratch I use a valet style wafer thin plastic cover that weighs nothing every winter but the car is stored in a heated garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Yep all covers scratch I use a valet style wafer thin plastic cover that weighs nothing every winter but the car is stored in a heated garage I bought a duvet cover and cut it around the seam so it opens up twice as long. It weighs nothing and is really soft too but again mines in a garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra900bhp Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FoxHunter-Heavy-Duty-3m-x-6m-Car-Port-Canopy-Cover-Portable-Garage-Gazebo-New-/200625532813?hash=item2eb636af8d:g:px8AAOSwfcVUGAmo#rwid are these any good? debating if i should get one I had one like this for about a year when I had to have very quick storage. Winter= condensation and drips on everything and water mist on car Summer= HOT greenhouse Ok you can open it up and air it/vent it but it's not the best but as for you restoring a car it's very good as you can still work on your car in the rain & wind as it will give you cover and spare space to move around and sort paintwork etc out And when done just zip door up no messing around with putting everything away as still covered The one I had had 4 ground anchors and was pretty good at withstanding the wind flexed a little but still solid Hope it helps Edited May 16, 2016 by supra900bhp (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
