Looking for a good car cover

Gary · 07-09-02, 10:05

While on vacation I will have to leave my car outdoors for 2 weeks. I am thinking of investing in a car cover for protection from bird droppings and tree sap while I am away. I noticed that the prices start around $60 and run past $250. Can anyone suggest an appropiate cover.

I have Noah car covers and find them very nice they will keep the sap and fird droppings off the car. They were $170 if I remember right.

From a material standpoint, the 2 better outdoor materials are Evolution 4 and NOAH. Both are made by Kimberly Clark. They also make a super one for use in extreme sun areas, but I doubt that's what you're looking for.

NOAH is 3 layers thick, and Ev4 is 4. You get better door ding protection with Ev4, but it is bulkier. I prefer the Ev4 for its door ding and hail protection abilities.

Generally speaking, you want a custom fit with mirror pockets, and the cable/lock kit so no one steals the cover. Better brands include Covercraft, Wolf, California Car Cover, and Coverking. I'm sure there are more.

I own indoor and outdoor covers for all my cars, and wouldn't dream of leaving a car at the airport or in a store parking lot without the cover on.

Thanks for the information. In my research both the Noah and the Evolution looked like good bets. It's good to have confirmation from users.
