Has any one had any dealings with classic additions car covers.
My FFRR sits out side and is deteriating so I thought one of these covers might be the answer 2011 5ltr V8 SC stornoway grey, ebony & ivory seats

I ordered a bespoke cover from them for my 1932 Austin - they came out to my house and measured the car. Received the cover a few weeks later - fits like a glove and the service was great!

They are not the cheapest - but you get what you pay for!

Note, mine was an indoor cover...

A Trap 

I would only use a car cover inside, out doors the wind will mean it will mar the paint no mater how expensive they are. I a had a very expensive twin layer cover but it still marked the paint on the corners of the bumpers, bonnet, tail gate and hatch. It was the second time of using a cover, the first was twenty years ago (same result) but my memory was short and I thought more money and a microfiber inner layer on a clean car would be alright, sadly no, with in weeks the damage was done and the cover was binned.

Better to save your money for regular detailing than have to get a full respray!

^^ Plus 2

Saw the damage one did to a friend's m'cycle, screen and panniers.

How much room do you have and is it sat in the front of the house? If it's in the back or out of sight something along these lines might be of interest. Just to say not used or seen one.

Greece 2004 Range Rover HSE 4.4 V8 Java Black

Having two cars and a garage that can accommodate just one (sadly the FFRR won't fit anyways), I only use covers in heavy snowfall or overnight during frost in the winter and early spring.
Freezing only occurs in calm conditions while the few days of snowfall won't do much harm even in high winds as snow buildup weighs on the cover.
Summer time, the tree canopy does a pretty good job.

A good ceramic coating and water repellant such as G-Techniq's will be very helpful - just a quick water rinse and it's back to super condition. no need to wash or bring the washing mitt out! l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l
