For those that store their toy outside...

Well as you guessed it, I dont have a garage I have a black 99 WS6 that has 22,000 miles and only gets driven on nice, dry days in the summer. I was just wondering if anyone else here has had good success in terms of leaving their cars covered outside? I use a really expensive, 4 layer outdoor cover so my paint is still mar free or any other damage. *I also throw on a Cover King Stormproof over the 4-layered cover too*

My main concern is corrosion, seeing as it rains a lot here in the summer months. Has anyone had a bad experience using the above method for storing their toy? Its been raining for 4 days straight here, the car is bone dry but I am still a bit paranoid.

I wouldn't use a car cover, but that's just b/c I've seen more damage done by them then good.

My cars use to sit out 24/7 when we were building our house and living in our condo. Just kept some collinite 476 on them and that was it. Its going to get stuff on yeah, but wash it weekly with ONR or if its bad a traditional wash. Or paint your car a color other then black!
