    Galant Outdoor car cover, can anyone recommend?

    Looking for an outdoor car cover now that I haven’t got the garage space! Can anyone recommend one? I found this one, any experience? Any input welcome, thanks!

    It does say indoor cover ?
    I have a cover for mine that’s water proof, only put it on when the car is 100% clean and it’s not going to be too windy or the cover lifts and will rub.
    I do put clamps on the underside to hold it in place but only really use it now if it’s going to snow.

    Ah yes, I somehow missed the bold black writing saying “indoor”

    I’m storing it in someone’s field currently, but the agreement is that I get a black cover for it as the owner doesn’t want to see the bright red car out his window.. no idea why, it’s beautiful! I was hoping for something reasonably fitted, but may have to compromise.. or find a car that’s more common and more likely to have a fitted cover, Evo reasonably similar size? Think the galants are a bit longer

    Now this is what I’m after, Ill check the dimensions for all the evos against the Galant as they offer a cover for all the Evo marks. See which one is closest.

    I'm looking for one too, but my legnum is outdoors 24/7 and up on axle stands and I wont be able to do much to it between now and mid to late spring

    Need one that wont rub, or least likely to rub and is water proof (but I've been thinking about spraying on a wax sealant of some sorts as added protection)

    Also crossed my mind to drape a thick cotton sheet over the car first and then the cover on top.

    Thoughts?

    Good to cover it a wax that you can wash off but the cotton sheet I say no if it gets damp or wet and you don’t check regularly could end up worse than leavening it in the rain.

    Have you got the room for a pop up garage, like a gazebo but with all round sides ?
    If I only had one car on the drive I would think about it
