recommended car cover for external use?

[feraldisco]

Hi - unfortunately I have to have the Disco outside and want to preserve it as well as possible. First I tried the el cheapo silver nylon jobbie from EBay - wasn't waterproof (despite claims) and even let dust through! Then I tried a Genesis breathable fabric cover - perished in the sun over one summer!

Now looking for quality and have narrowed down to:

Car Care Products / Car Care Products / Car Accessories / Car Covers / Prestige Car Cover (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/car_care_products/prestige_car_cover/large_4wd)

Elite Car Covers, Waterproof Car Covers, Tyvek Car Covers, Economy Car Covers, Universal Car Cover, Wholesale Car Cover, Discount Car Covers (http://www.carcoverusa.com/elite-car-covers.html)

The first is $219 for large 4WD; the second is Tyvek material and $100USD plus a fair whack of postage.

Thoughts/experiences?

I've had a supercheap one for about 6 months now -$65 ish from memory & I think it will last a few years.

i have a supercheap one , used it about 6 times paid about $30 it lets the water and dust through it and it is starting to rip where the straps clip on , think i might take to a canvas joint and get them to use it as a model and make one out of the light weight canvas they use for the side wall of caravan anexes

Just wash and polish it regularly...

I havent garaged a vehicle in 12 years :p

And the last 5 have been 250mtrs from the beach.

You organise pickup, I'll give you one.
I bought one for a large car and the silly buggar gave me one for a large 4WD.
Not large enough. Won't fit on the 101.
Partially my fault. I should have checked the box he gave me.
