toddimac Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hello All, Due to a period of unemployment, I let my car cover deteriorate to the point that it needs to be replaced. Now that I have a job offer in hand, and I ready to buy a new, high quality cover for my 03 Porsche Boxster S. It is parked outdoors all the time, and I live in the DC Metro Area. Like most on this forum, I am willing to pay for quality, fit/finish and Made in USA. Any brand/type recommendations? Thanks Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I've purchased a couple of these and am real happy with the quality: http://www.calcarcover.com/ scootertrash19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I wouldn't recommend covering a car that lives outside........the wind will whip the cover and it will scratch your paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I wouldn't recommend covering a car that lives outside........the wind will whip the cover and it will scratch your paint. I agree, but if you have to cover it, be sure to tie it down tight with bungees or whatever. California Car Covers seem to be the most popular ones. scootertrash19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I have the Covercraft Noah for two of my cars and it works really well. Caught mine on sale too. Its windy here during storms but the cover is so tight I am not at all worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddimac Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks to everyone for the replies. I decided to go with Covercraft. I'll let everyone know how it works out. I will say that with the amount of trees in my neighborhood (which really means birds), I absolutely need to keep it covered. Thanks for the advice about keeping it tied down to prevent scratching the clear when it is windy. Cheers Todd Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Todd I would still recommend doing a complete sealant and wax job before putting the cover on (for added protection). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost always do a waterless wash wipe down before I put the cover on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
