Car Covers

[Canuck121]

This is one topic I don’t see here on the forum. So I will start it up. What do you use for the winter to cover up the Mustang? All kinds of brands out there.....some indoor, some outdoor and some do both. What’s the best? What’s the worst?

The Saleen has what I believe is a CoverKing. Form fitting and nice material. Indoor only I’d say. The convertible is just a generic one. Didn’t pay much for it and I believe it’s for another body style lol. But does the trick and only used inside.

I never store my car outside so I only have to worry about indoor storage. I have a Ford form fitted cover that I bought used from Steve that I really like. It does the job well keeping the dust and stuff off. I like the pony on the front. Lol

I've got a Covercraft Noah cover. All season, indoor outdoor cover. Was pricy but great quality. Fleece lined, so offers some ding resistance. Went this direction, since car is stored offsite and wanted good protection.

I'm using the factory offered cover, not sure who made it..... for the $500+ it cost to tick it off on the option sheet, I'm a little disappointed in the quality. Obviously paying for the name on it and the stripes, but wtf, it was ordered with the car and for the car. Its thin, but it's used exclusively inside my garage only, nothing outdoors, so it does the job and fits pretty snug.

I had the Ford Covercraft for my '06, that one was awesome, MUSTANG on the back, pony on the front, heavy duty material and nice fit. It was garage only.

I have the same as SVT4MT it serves the purpose and I only sotre indoors so no issues.
CLimate controlled as well so I decide how warm or cool it is.
I agree little cheaper than I would like, but I really like the fit it even covers spoiler
and complete care well, looks cool too for whatever points that gets you lol.

Mine is a Ford cover , nice and thick , but probably just for indoors. The guy i got it from said it was around $300 new.

I have a cover but usually leave it uncovered for some reason.

I don't use my often. Winter storage for sure and through the spring when pollen is really bad.
Other than that, it's usually just sitting naked in the garage ?

Covercraft Evolution Block it for both cars.
Indoor-outdoor.
It’s not necessarily their best at everything.
I think they make another one that is rated better for UV protection but is thinner, and one that is mostly fleece for optimal treatment of paint but is only indoor rated and not as good for UV protection.
Different materials and build for different purposes.

This one is the thickest with a fleece inner to protect against minor dings like broom handle or if cat jumps up on car.

Fits very well on both cars.
Only use indoors for winter storage.

Evolution is what’s on the Saleen

Didn't remember what I had as it's been a long time since I got it. Same as Aaron, all weather Noah custom made to fit the body kit. Not sure how much custom alterations were done but I know I surely paid enough for it.

 

[SilverGT]

I have a cheap one as you can tell by the wrinkles.I have a nice cotton one but was afraid it would hold moisture.

 

[Mcdavis]

Cannot remember where I got mine, I think it was car covers direct or something like that, it was about $300 for a 3 layer, soft, breathable cover. Got it about 5 years ago. Does not have mirror pockets, but seems a pretty good fit.

 

[Ohtobbad]

We got cars covers on, we can see by some
putting them away is a challenge.
How do you put away a car cover?

 

[SVT4MT]

Biggest problem I've found with putting the cover away is getting all the dust and debris off before folding it and rolling it up.

Usually fire up the compressor and blow it off, this spring I might use my leaf blower.

 

[2001BlackGTvert]

I usually take it outside with the MRS and shake it in the wind. Then fold it up into a garbage bag until I need it again.

 

[pei_guy]

Air compressor dusting then remove. Detail car and put back on. Do a 1/3 fold from each side, 1/2 fold lengthways & roll then back in storage bag.

I've washed mine a few times, just left it on the car to wash it then let it dry. No matter how I fold it for some reason it always turns out looking like that dude on TV commercial with the wrinkled shirt...............
