Car Cover Choice

[Camaroinaz]

Since I will be picking up my newly painted '69 next week, and want to put a cover on it, what is everyone's choice for an indoor cover to keep dust off and not scratch that nice new paint? I've never needed a cover before, but want to protect the paint work. Thanks.

Definately go with California Car Cover Co. I purchased 3 "Supremeweave" covers for my Camaro's, and couldn't be happier with them. It cost me over $1,200.00, but well worth the money. Here is a direct link. http://www.calcarcover.com/cover_find2.aspx

I have the Cover Craft unit which is indoor/outdoor. It repels water, snow, dust, UV rays... and all other goods. I have 3 units and covers a car outside 90% of the time. I have never had an issue with it. Very durable and you can even wash it if need be. I recommend this cover!

I'd love to know where the heck you wash them though??? I tried years ago to find a machine that could handle the load. Perhaps I need to try some more cleaners.

Mine has 15 years of dust, goop, beer, hot dog mustard and italian beef au jus on it.

I own a cleaners and laundry in Akron and i've done them before along with boat covers too. So call around maybe you'll have some luck!

As "JHerston" mentioned, I take mine into a laundromat and use their big, commercial grade washers.

No matter what cover you use, make sure you wash or dust the car with a California duster before putting the cover on. It is the dust on the paint that has the abrasives in it that scratch. Also wash the cover at least once a year. We used to go to the laundromat but we got a new washer/dryer Whirlpool duet. It says it can handle 21 pairs of jeans! I don't know about that but it handles the car cover easily. Frank

Like Belair says. Check with your body man. I am retired from that business and would not recomend putting anything on it for a month or three. Paint is still green usually for a few months. Just use clear water and rinse it from time to time. better safe than sorry.

Thanks guys. Had not thought about the fresh paint issue. I will make sure I check with the painter. Car is turning out really nice. Lemans Blue w/ painted white SS stripe. A tribute SS of sorts. I will look at Cal Covers and the others. Thanks again for your help.
