      if you are talking an ocean based ship yard, you might want to have the entire underside and engine bay coated in Cosmoline including the backsides of panels and under the bumper cover. I've used the spray can version RP342 from Cosmoline direct....upstate salty NY....and it is fine for surfaces that do not have rust.

    I store my car outdoors all year. I am in the north east. I have ceramic pro and Clear Bra. I have been using a silver single layer microbead outdoor cover that keeps off the rain. It lasts a year before water starts to seep in certain spots. BUT my issue is not so much the rain, snow or UV rays. My issue is with the damage to my paint around the edges of my car. When the wind is high the cover flaps up and down even with the 3 straps tight. It is custom fit for my C7 Vette. . It is rubbing away the shine on the edges. The edges that transition between the side and the top of the car. I do not know what is specifically rubbing off, clear coat, ceramic pro or clear coat, but I can clearly see a dulling in the area. Is there a cover that will prevent this or is it unavoidable since I would guess that any material, no matter how soft, will wear on the edges?

    So what are you supposed to do with your car cover when you're not using it? There's no way that I would be putting it in my car considering that my car is always covered with albino spiders and other spiders. I have no garage and no outdoor storage area either. So how do you keep a $530 Sunbrella cover tip-top? I would think it would get moist and then just mold. You would have to hang it somewhere which I suppose isn't very practical if you're getting home late at night. I guess you'd have to buy something to hang it on? And where would you keep that? So while this review is helpful it doesn't really answer all the questions one would have before actually pulling the trigger on a purchase.

    • @lockergr
      @lockergr 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      CARiD Yes, but like I said I wouldn't be willing to put it in my trunk because of how prolific the spiders are on my car. It's been a long-standing issue. Seems like car covers are mainly for people with garages who can dry out their cover by hanging it in some way up in the garage, but if you have a garage then why are you not putting your car in there to begin with? I'm sure people have their reasons, but I have no garage and I also for whatever reason have no outdoor storage. I'll wait on the car cover until I can find out a better solution in terms of how to actually keep it. Where I live something that's $530 would get stolen in a heartbeat if just left out to dry in a tree or on a line. I'd still like to cover my car, but need a better storage solution than my trunk.
