Thumbs up Indoor Car Covers

Hey guys, check it out. I just purchased a Porsche Indoor Car Cover from our friends @ Suncoast for $252.00 shipping included. (From Florida to Pa.). It's a 10% off sale. Today is the last day. Jump on it. Two local dealers, (including the dealer that I just purchased my 08 TT Cab from) were well over $300.

My experience is that most car covers will leave fine scratches in the clear coat. Does your car cover somehow prevent that? Thanks.

Car Cover

I just ordered it today. My experience with car covers is that the car must be clean immediately prior to placing the cover. This prevents small dirt/dust particles from being pressed and scratched into the finish. I store my car for the winter, thus not exposing the car to the harsh Northeastern Winters. This is the only time I use a cover.

Absolutely you need to wash your car. The car cover from Porsche is snug fitting...any debris on the body will lead to swirls or scratches. Make sure you wash...and wax if possible, your car prior to storage with a car cover.

I got my cover for free form my dealer when I bought my car. Payed sticker last Janaury...but hey...what the heck.

I have a Porsche in door cover. Payed $300 for it. Fits very snug on the car.

And yes you must wash your car before putting the cover on it. I only drive my car on saturdays & sundays so during the week its covered. Also doesnt let dust to collect on the car.
