Bring on the rain!!!!

Just washed and waxed my car then wrapped it in my new car cover, now I'm anxious to see how it holds up in rainy weather...this has to be the first time since I got my car that I'm actually looking forward to some rain

Better make sure it's clean when you cover it, the wind will cause the cover to rub against the paint and scratch it.

Did you get an outside all-weather cover? Covercraft's "Weathershield" will protect the car from the Apocalypse much less a shower, lol.

Don't be surprised if the car is soaked underneath?

I think most outdoor covers are supposed to be breathable, which is a good thing. They let some water through, but keep out the UV and most particulates. When the sun comes out again, the water is able to evaporate back out through the cover instead of being trapped between the cover and the paint.

I'm interested to see how it goes as well. What kind of weather proof cover is that?

Thanx for the compliments guys, its a storm proof outdoor Camaro car cover. They come in all of our base colors and you can have your stripes any color you want. They're a lil pricey but fit snug and covers all of the wheels...
