Car cover

BTR69 · 12-23-2023, 06:43 PM

Good evening. I'm getting ready to order a new car cover for outdoor use. Currently my garage isn't car friendly and I need to keep a race car outside on the driveway for a bit while working on it. Mainly for rain and any overnight moisture. I'm leaning toward one from California Car Cover. Anyone have other recommendations? Any discount codes available for them? Thanks.

hands down California Car Covers superweave outdoor cover-I kept my 05GTO under one for two years in socal, harsh sun and rain, worked so well I bought one for my 15 SS which was never outdoors. I see they are on a discount right now too when I popped into their website

Agree California Car Cover. That said, leaving a cover on outside will trap moisture and result in flash rust on any bare steel surface like bolts, rotors, etc.

Thanks for the input. Looks like I'll be ordering from California Car Cover. After looking through their website, the superweave cover looks like a winner. May end up picking up one for each car/truck sitting outside. I really do need a bigger garage, but the covers will have to do for now. Thanks again...

Cover ordered. Email says it may be a few weeks before it gets here. Thanks again for your input.

Also ordered a HalGuard fire extinguisher from them. Been looking at them for a while. I have a couple of standard dry chemical ones to replace that have gotten old, as in 20+ years old. A firefighter friend has me questioning if they're still good. I like the idea of a cleaner mess, if it's ever needed. Have great week.
