    What`s With Car Covers?

    heya guys and gals
    i was just wondering what would be the best solution for my car while its exposed to the elements?? my car will be out from monday till friday each week... what the go with "breathable" car covers? are they needed in a climate which is usually hot and humid (with some tropical rain)?
    what kinda price should i be budgeting for?
    are they hard to remove/apply? (lol - sounds like a wax!!!)
    should i leave the windows cracked while under the car cover?
    as you can see i`m an entire newbie to the car cover business and would like to get it right first time.

    thanks in advance!

    Re: What`s With Car Covers?

    I`m rather unorthodox, but whenever I have my car outside for a long period of time/overnight, I always cover it with a Noah and a Weathershield, the WS over the Noah. Sounds nuts, yes, but it does work, no breathabilty issues and I can put them on and off together like one.
    For a single cover, I`d say Weathershield or weathershield HD provide the best protection from the elements althouh the WS is on the light side.
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    I have had Noah covers for the last few cars that I have had and love them. I`ve also had the cheap material ones and after they get a bit used they hold water like a sponge. I`ve not used the WS brand but sounds like they are about the same as Noahs one thing I have learned is don`t buy a cheap one!

    WS sheets water, it`s different than Noah. The nice thing about the Noah is that they are heavier, can withstand winds and door dings. WS HD wasn`t around at the time I got my covers but coupledboth the WS and Noah for the ultimate inprotection, at least at the time.
