Car cover

[Nova_Tek]

I need to buy a car cover for when the car returns from the bodyshop. It will be garaged of course but I dont want dust to settle on it and to protect the new paint from. This won't be for a prolonged period just until the car gets completed, maybe a few months.

Anyone covered a car after paint? Any recommendations?

Thanks :thumb:

Talk to the bodyshop about what's suitable - I'd be reluctant to put a cover on new paint as it'll rub against it.

I'd rather just follow a normal wash/care routine as they will probably recommend to you than a cover tbh.

Pm Sparkie as he's a car cover that's been especially made to fit a Nova, he won't be selling it but will be able to tell you how much it was. It looks brilliant and even has made to fit bit over the wing mirrors.

Dont cover a freshly painted car. Paint will need to breathe for another few months after painting. I have just had mine painted, well back in November last year!!!! Bought a cover off Ebay for it. Not covering it at the moment.

Dust settling is no biggy. Nice fresh paint, dust will son blow off once out of the garage.

halfords medium size car cover, as said dont cover new piant unless its unavoidable, ie high dirt/ dust area/ overspray etc

IIRC there's covers with a fleece type inner lining, I assume they'd be better as it won't rub.

I'll ask Sparkie but I won't get any old cover something specialist if I have to cover it.

Will have a word with the bodyshop too.

Have a search on here. IIRC there was a thread and someone posted a link to a decent looking place. Mine from Ebay is fleece lined.

Errect [LOL] a gazeebo type affair around it if you have the room?
Better than covering a freshly painted car, or just do as said and blow the dust off it when need be. lol

I'd leave it uncovered for a while, and just regularly wash/polish/wax (no cut) it to remove dust. Then cover it after a few weeks.
