Keeping it covered

Post by tucker »

Hello everyone
Advice needed on the type of cover for my lovely MR2 Roadster that has just come back from the garage after a complete strip, repaint and polish in bright red. It will be kept on the drive (no garage available). Does anyone have experience of the Moltex 5 layer outdoor covers?

Got an expensive custom fit one made from multilayer Noah fabric.

This is about as good as it gets fit and quality wise but really its only good in the summer because the wet and humidity over here is such a problem you get serious mould on your leather if you try and shut the car up and cover it.

Have a look for Stormforce covers, heard some decent reports on them.
Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour

I've had a Stormforce on my Mk2 Rev2 for three years now. She lives under it during Jan/Feb/Mar and keeps her dry. Not cheap but very good.

I’m in the market for a car cover. I only use my Mr2 on dry weekends and it’s garaged the rest of the time. Has anyone used an Indoor Carcoon, if so are they worth the money (around £400-500) and is there a benefit over a super soft indoor cover.
Open to recommendations!
