car covers

[billsdoo]

I am thinking of buying a car cover. But I have some questions about them.
1- will they scratch the paint
2-what is some of the best on the market
3-are there any that can protect from small hail
4-looking for summer protection because I dont have a garage

I live in NH just want to protect my investmevnt.

Get a breathable 1. If not it builds condesation up under it and will peel the paint. For the hail question, they make thick 1's but they are some money.

This is the one I have Wolf. It is the same Kimberly-Clark material as the California Car Cover and its custom fit and half the price. It has kept all the rain and pollen ect.. of the car and is breathable!

Covercraft make great covers also and they have different models depending on your needs. I have two of them for my cars and would highly recommend them.

I like my Kimberly-Clark, however I wish it had a hole for the antenna. May want to request that one.

I just went to the california car cover web site. My question is which material is people using?

I use the "Dustweave" for my '03 Cobra because it's garage kept. I bought my son the "Stormweave" for his '05 Stang since it stays outside. Both of these covers are soft on the inside and won't scratch the surface by themselves, but that doesn't make any difference if you put the cover over a dirty car.

Read down about 1/2 way and you'll see a feedback about hail protection.

I've used Big Sky for covers. If I were you, call the toll-free number and talk to a rep about your needs. Or any other cover company. I would not rely on comments from us. We can help, but prudence says talk to the company reps themselves. They're more likely to get you what you really need. You can call Big Sky and ask what they recommend. Then decide who to buy from if you want. JMO. Here's their toll-free number if you want. 1-800-221-4875. It seems that the Evolution HD provides the best protection against hail. But it's more costly. Then again, how do you attach a protection value for your precious paint? DON'T SKIMP on protection!

You can buy grommet kits for this. It is very easy to punch a hole in your cover for your antenna. I bought a grommet kit, punched the hole, inserted the grommet, and I was fine.

Here's a link showing how to install a grommet (for an antenna, for example).

Mine was plastic (preferred over metal). Here's one link. If I find more I'll post them. I think I bought mine at Home Depot.
