Do you cover your porsche

I have had covers for some of the porsches I have had in the past. Others I have left in the open when not in my garage where car is stationed. I wonder how many use covers when out and about or even in your garage? You have to carry the cover around or keep in in the boot and tht is kind of inconvenient also.

I have one for all my cars. Keep it in the boot. I have the weathershield for my 996 and it takes up a little room only. I use it outdoors when I stay out overnite. It's garaged at home (no need to cover unless it's not driven for weeks -- rarely)

I use the Porsche cover with the felt-like insides. I live in a historic home and the garage is too narrow for the P-car. I'm building a garage to hold it with a lift and all that. Anyways, yeah. I cover it. I leave it in the boot.

I was going to buy one, but my garage has a really good dust seal and I get little, if any, dust on it between drives. If I move somewhere else and the dust becomes an issue, I'll get the Porsche indoor one.

unless u don't drive the car for a long time otherwise i don't see the point of covering it. everytime u take it out dust will be all over it. putting the cover on will only cause more scratches. unless the surface is dust free.

I dust it, put the Porsche interior cover on it, and leave it in my garage.

Never covered thought about it though.

It's garaged mostly and washed either every week or every other week depending on how dirty it gets.

It's in the garage without a cover, it gets dusty but a car duster and some quick detailer do the trick. A cover will only scratch it and put more dust on it.

Only when in hybernation for the winter... December-March, so the DusTop cover keeps it clean. Battery maintainer, mouse traps and electronic anti-rodent noise generator, and a start to warm-up every few weeks to circulate fluids. Otherwise, I don't see the point of a cover unless you don't have a garage...
