Car Cover

[jimed]

I've been in Lidl this am and got one of the car covers (£8.99), its made of water resistant polyester which is quite soft. The M size fits the car fine but reading the bumph packed inside the bag then says it shouldn't be used on a car that has got wax polish on it and should not be used for more than 3 days at a time - condensation issue here? Based on that it going back but has anyone any experience of that sort of cover used indoors.

Hi Jim

I cant speak for the cover you mention but can recommend the Argos one here... (from the useful links)

I've had this for over two years now the car is in a barn and its done a great job... no ingres of dust, no condensation (even protects against the occasional Chicken bowel movement...

great value for money

ps - my battery is made by "Banner" unsure about dimensions and rating but could find out if you need more detail...

Thanks Kevin - the one you use sounds quite similar to the one from Lidl so I wonder what the problem is or whether they are being over-cautious?
Re the battery I think I've answered my own question (just updated the post) but will see if better ideas.

Picked one of these up this morning, got the large size as I only intend using it as an indoor dust cover so wanted a loose fit. Can't see any problems with using it indoors, should only cause problems if using it over a dirty car outside where the wind will blow he cover and rub grit into the paintwork and it will get wet and maybe hold a bit of damp in. Should be fine in the garage just leave the windows open a bit to let the air circuate.

I got was a medium one as it listed BMW z3/4 on the list of cars it would fit and the S is a similar size - and yes it does fit quite well. I'm still not sure what the remark is about not to use it with a car that has been waxed - that rules out a fair proportion of them then!
