andygo Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) My 981 Cayman GTS lives outside and constantly attracts dust on the paintwork. I had thought about a car cover in the past but have been put off by the thought of putting a cover on a car that might not be 100% clean and grit fee. However, just noticed this company: https://richbrook.co.uk/product/stormguard-tailored-4-layer-outdoor-car-covers/ Anyone had any experience of them?

Davey P Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 I haven't got any experience of these, or any other covers, and I've got the same problem as you, but with added bird poo as well... We live in the countryside, surrounded by fields, with regular combine harvesters and tractors working all around our village. However, I wouldn't use a car cover, because I'm sure it would scratch the paintwork, no matter how soft it is, . Obviously I'm no expert, and it's only my personal opinion, which is worth very little around here.... I will continue to carefully remove the poo with a soft wet sponge as soon as I see it, and regularly wash the car when it needs it (which - of course - also risks scratching the paintwork......). I'm not obsessive, and probably wash the car about once a fortnight, which is enough to keep it in decent condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygo Posted August 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Same here really, just really careful with washing. Take a look at forensic detailing channel on YouTube. Quite practical advice I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinewood Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 disagree on covers. had one on my Boxster 4 years now and no issues. always cleaned and dried before covering. polished and waxed remove cover in windy weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how if car is clean, dry and waxed. Admittedly I am very fastidious in my cleaning regime when covering and storing (the cover) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTSMarky Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 I use a half cover on my BGTS and it works a treat.. Quick & simple to get on/off so it doesn't detract from getting the car out at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
