Default Car Capsule Cover

Does anyone here use an inflatable car capsule cover? We just bought one for my dad's copo and want to know how well it works. Does it hold up well? Post opinions please. Thanks.

LBISam got one for one of his Black Z's and he likes it. I know someone that has a 70 charger in one for over 10 years and loves it.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the only way to store a car in a working garage......I've got one ripped apart for updating and the capsules keep the finished ones protected and clean

I think Ken, and other's that use covers like that have the right idea..It's got to be a lot safer, and cleaner for your cars, I just have cloth covers over mine, and that doesn't keep out all the dust, and I'm always hitting the cars as I move stuff in and out of the garage.. How much do they cost, and what is a good brand? ....Kasey.. There will be NO //// Palm// or Christmas...tree added..

For non heated storage I would use the Car Jacket to store cars over the winter. One they keep moist air out because they are sealed (they also include desiccant to remove moisture). Also extreme temperature changes will cause a car to "sweat". The bag because it is sealed acts a buffer because the air in the bag stay the same temperature as the car reducing/ eliminating this effect. I have used them for years with excellent results.
