Having got fed up with the usual B&Q sheets that leak and crack after a few months i am looking for a good waterproof cover to put over a car for the winter. I don`t want to pay an arm and a leg, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced durable sheet that will do the job?........Martin

I have no idea whether they are cheap or not, don't know the market - but I can vouch for them, they are pretty fantastic. I use the Auto-Storm.

I've just bought one for the B from Halfrauds for £75 - it's their waterproof, breathable, soft interior version and so far it's working really well (rare for them!). It's not coming off in the wind, unlike the previous covers I've bought, it's got 2 clips of the right width for the car which attach without damaging it and the elastic is strong enough to keep it on properly. Whatever they've proofed it with obviously works for now, as I can see the water beading off beautifully.

If it's still any good in January, I'll let you know biggrin

Apart from keeping crud off the car, is there any point in semi-sealing a car (made of ferrous material) in a non-permeable membrane in good old blighty? Isn't it a certain recipe for rust?
