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!

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.

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.

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
