In the market for a car cover for one or both of my cars for the winter… anyone know of one that is very well suited for S13 / s14? ---

I got one at wallmart for S13, around 45 bucks just check the dimensions, I think it was 170 inch length. I like it, fits well, has a elastic lining so it hugs car. its a grey color. ---

car covers can be DOOOM for the clear coat. I had my cover get wet then freeze, left some nice surface scratchs on the hood. ---

if you store a car inside a garage for the winter, I dont see why you would need a car cover, all it does is make things worse. If it was outside, thats a different story. ---

i use the princess auto one and a canadian tire one. keeps the cars clean and protected nicely…as theres lots of movement in my garage in the winter. they are a lil big on s13 but work fine. ---

if its outdoor, you need a quality cover thats about $80-120 if its inside a garage, the $30 princess auto one will do fine ---

yeah outdoor… i have one garage spot, likely for my coupe and my S14 will be outdoors because it’s my back up car in case my winter car goes down. i’ll be moving the S14 into the garage when the S13 is out for work. ---

That’s to name a couple reasons bro. Dust absorbs water but very little. So it’s not harmful as long as the temperatures outside are in the minuses. When the tempretature gets to the plus range, just wash the car and put it back. ---

i have one of those multi layer ones and it worked great last year… il check the name when i get home… but yeah i think it was regular 160+ but got it on sale. A little bit of hw on covers may not be a bad idea as well. especially if you have some nice paint. ---

The company that manufactures them is called Carcoon here’s a link [http://carcooncanada.ca/product-outdoor-airflow-system.php](http://carcooncanada.ca/product-outdoor-airflow-system.php) There are more companies that manufacture bubble car covers you just got to do a little research on the net and you will find them. Car coon might be a little expensive but at least it’s Canadian based therefore no customs! [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/240sx-car-cover-whats-best/130099.md?page=2)
