Cool Car Cover

I am looking for some advice on a car cover. I live in Florida where tropical storms are no doubt bearing down....and I don't have a garage. Yes, no one need say I should have a garage...because I know that and I do want one. I spend more on the car than my little apartment. My next place will have a garage.
Can anyone recommend a place to buy a car cover?? I have never bought one before....I have heard some come with locks....
Thoughts????? THANKS.:drinking:

Bavarian Autosport is a good place to start. Their products are tailored to specific BMW's. I bought my sunshade from them and absolutely love it. I plan to buy a car cover from them as well.

My Integra car cover is fantastic because it is a nice soft fabric, so it's easy on the finish, but it was sprayed with some kind of water resistant chemical. I've been covering my car while I'm at work because it sits outside in the sun all day. I'm in Orlando, so it rains about every other day - if my car cover wasn't water resistant it would be SOAKED and weigh about 100 lbs I bet! Instead all the water beads off and makes it much more manageable. Something to think about...

I bought mine from Dan and it is OEM BMW at a decent price. Nice, thick, good quality material. Didnt have time to take a picture before I left though.

Go to https://www.bigskycarcovers.com/

I've had great service from them.


Recommend the evolution fabric or the Noah fabric.

If you are on a lookout for car covers, find one that fits your car well. You don't want to be running around trying to pin your car cover down. Finding a waterproof one like syenisch has is better since you said it rains a lot in your area.
