txredgt Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I am moving to an apartment soon (if I can get some issues settled finally) but I will only have a carport and no garage. How bad would this car cover scratch the paint? http://www.americanmuscle.com/covercraft-deluxecustomfit-mustang-cover-9904.html I have a feeling its going to be alot of them but this is the place that would know best.

Frid Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Unless you are in a closed garage with the cover on, potential damage could occur. i.e- strong winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Unless the car is spotless when you put it on, I wouldn't. If it's a DD, let it go. Keep the paint and trim well maintained with Adams and you'll get years of enjoyment out of you vehicle. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincenzo Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The biggest problem with covers like that is that they do not fit very tight. The tighter it is, the better. When it gets windy, little dusty particles can get up in that cover and settle on the car, and the get scratched by the cover dragging them back and forth. Also, if it is not soft enough inside, it can rub up on the paint and cause small scratches. You might want to look into more expensive, higher quality car covers.

Chris@Adams Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Outdoors and a car cover don't go together well, the wind blows the cover and the cover scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I believe AJ just did an extremely detailed video on how to properly put on and take off a car cover http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10749&highlight=cover Some more good info http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5881&highlight=cover&page=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txredgt Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Thanks guys, I figured that would be the answer but just wanted to hear it. I wonder how the apartment company will handle me sitting outside and using adam's in their place or if I will have to just go to a quarter machine and do the whole thing there.
