Car cover

Don't drive the RR during the week so by the time it gets to the weekend its covered in dust and rain marks, so thinking of a waterproof car cover. There are a few on eBay for less than £100, look pretty standard. Anyone got one and care to share their experience so far? Jordan

Really good ones are soft-lined. Wind can make a regular cover rub and potentially chaff.

United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Baltic Blue

I have one for my classic and it cost £90.00 on the bay. Not soft lined but for the money I was very impressed. It has two unstraps for windy locations plus the elasticated bottom fringe hugs the car well and so far (12 months) is lasting well with no tears or fading etc. Thumbs Up 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

This one apparently has a "non scratch" lining. Should I hold out for a proper soft lined one? Last thing I want is scratches all over it Laughing Jordan

There is a post on the forum about high quality covers. Not cheap but apparently very good. I'd suggest to have a bit of a look around Smile MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Just google "can car covers scratch".

Personally I would go for the sort lined type. Even then if dirt gets under one of those there is some risk.

Seems like its not really worth it. Rather spend the money keeping the car clean more often! Jordan

United Kingdom 2003 Range Rover Vogue Td6 Bonatti Grey

We make covers for a living, it's what we do. Believe it or not showmen (fairground operators) are very fussy about some covers and we do a lot for showmen. When you've paid thousands of £££ to have rounding boards hand painted you want them looked after in transit. We also do covers for high end prams,toys, machines and other equipment. ALL of the lightweight covers stand a good chance of marking paint, and the reason being is they flap or "ripple" in the wind. Anything that we make that has to cover paintwork or a fragile surface is made from a heavy duty (12oz) ripstop Poly cotton canvas then lined with a suitable material for the job. They also have a multitude of ties built in that must be used.
If you want a cover that will stand up to the weather and not mark or rub the paint believe me ... IT AIN'T GONNA BE CHEAP !!!
