Hey all - hope you had a good crimbo

Im going away just after New Years for quite a few months. Hopefully i will be keeping the Type R in a garage. I wanted to get a cover for it too in order to protect the paint

I was just wondering if there was a place where i can get a specific Honda Civic car cover or would it be the normal Halfords joby

[afroboy]

Because it's going to be rubbing on your lovely paintwork. Would you dry or polish your car with any old rag?!

I wouldn't bother though, if it's going to be garaged.

I'd say go for it, it will be in a garage with a cover on which I'm guessing is likely to be disturbed to often. Just tell other people to go easy around it and keep the garage door shut as much as possible.

If it's in a garage then I don't understand why you would need to cover it. I would not trust any cover with the soft Honda paint.

...or not bother at all and wash it when it comes out

covers are the work of the devil - they will scratch your car to bits - not too bad in teh garage but even slight wind and cause them to rub and scratch outside - they are just as bad as cats that climb over cars

He isnt intending using it outside

... i will be keeping the Type R in a garage

My Boxster is in the garage with a cover on and a battery maintainer plugged in for the winter. The Porsche cover is soft inside so would recommend something similar rather than a nylon cover. As long as you wash the car and let it dry before putting on the cover it will be fine, never put a cover on a dirty car and never let the inside of the cover touch the floor.

Thanks for the replies all

Yes its going to be in a Garage (Hopefully) the reason i want a cover tho is it is going to be in a garage on a Army barracks. Now wind wont be a problem but the garages are dusty as hell and the guys are in and out of the garages all the time - its more of a hanger i suppose

just figured that a cover would stop it getting covered in grit/dirt and grime while im away :facepalm:

Cheers fro the link Robbo[smilie=grinn.gif] i did have a look... may well get one off here but suppose a sheep skin one would be best if anyone has any ideas?

You definitely want a cover. I have my glider in winter storage at the old 20sqn hanger at RAF Wittering (my last squadron when I was in the RAF). Anyway, I have covers for the glider and they are covered in dust, rust and pigeon droppings which otherwise would be all over the glider.
