Ok it's time to get a car cover after my baby has been painted. I don't have a garage :bang: and it downpoors rain here in Charleston all the time. It also gets very hot and humid in the summer. What would be your choice for a out door car cover with these adverse weather conditons?

I'm looking to spend around $200-300.

Check out www.autoanything.com. I bought a Customfit Covercraft Technalon for my 66F/B there. They had the best price on the web and free shipping too. If they don't offer it, ask for it anyway and they will probably give it to you.
There are plenty of types to choose from depending on your weather requirements. Just make sure you get one that breathes or you will cook your paint. That means your car is still going to get wet but it will dry out pretty fast once the rain stops.

I used a Wolf car cover years ago until it got wet, froze one night in Missouri and cracked open when I tried to remove it. No joke.

Since it will be rubbing your paint, get the best you can afford. You don't want tiny little scratches all over.

Don is right. If you don't get one that breathes, you'll have a terrarium under there with mold and all sorts of garbage. Not cool.

I've also seen the grommits on the side for a security cable beat the holy mess out of the lower sides of your doors.
