TO COVER OR NOT TO COVER I've always been a big believer in covering that special car. But after many years and many types, I have ditched the cover.

I always purchased a good quality brand. I prefer the kind with the fuzzy underside, like the inside of a sweatshirt. It doesn't scratch the paint and some are made water repellant.

The problem I have is the dirt and dust land on top, then you roll it up, and place it in the trunk. Now the debris is on the underside of the cover. When I put it back on, that dirt will transfer to the car. I just defeated the purpose of keeping the car clean. Also, in order for the cover to breathe and not trap moisture some dust particle get on the underside.

Invariably I will be forced to clean the car after removing the cover anyway. The best reason to keep a cover on is for protection. Kids, pets, falling object, twigs, etc. There is a great level of protection with that thin layer of fuzzy material.

With my situation now, the covers came off. The cars are locked away with nothing, and I mean nothing, that can fall on top of them... except the roof.
