Hey all,
I'm looking for car cover options. Back in the late 80's I had a canvas/denim car cover that came from Beverly Hills Motor Association (or a name similar to that). I really like that. It was heavy enough not to blow around in the wind and protected the car from the sun/snow/frost. And, it was tough enough to not tear or rip if I took a broom to it sweeping off snow.
More recently, I bought one of these 5 layer types. It's light and is designed to protect the car from all the elements. Overall the cover is ok, but over time one of inner layers had disintegrated into this fine white powder that is all over everything. I think this inner layer also contributed to the strength of the material as it seems to tear much easier than before.
So, now I'm in market for another cover. I've look at the California Car Cover catalog and did some surfing around the net. I'm going to buy two, one for the Cougar and one for the car that now has to sit out in the elements because of the Cougar (sucks to be the low car on the totem pole).
Honestly, unless the Cougar is being driven, it's in the garage. As most of the interior is original, (I've replaced the front seat upholstery and the carpet) keeping the sun off of it is important if I'm out and about and it's going to sit out in the sun for a while.
I'd really like to find a canvas/denim one, unless all this hype about the multi-layer stuff is legit. But, what I don't want is one that has a layer that disintegrates into a white powder that gets into and all over everything.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Greg
