Default Car covers

As my S2K has to live outside in the Welsh winter, I am thinking of buying a car cover to protect her during the winter months. Looking on e-bay at the Stormforce -

Fitted Waterproof Stormforce Car Cover for Honda S2000 No Spoiler Coupe 1999 On | eBay

this sounds like a good spec, and I wondered if anyone had any experience of this one - or any alternative recommendations available from the UK ?

i would worry, that unless your car is 100% clean, and your car cover is also spotless, that you will damage the paint more than it is worth

I take your point, but where I park the gritting lorry goes past blasting grit at parked cars, and I would like to give my S2K some protection.

I've used my stormforce cover for the last 2 winters without issue. Paintwork is still pristine. Just wash and wax before you put the cover on, keep the inside of the cover clean and make sure its tied down reasonably tight
