What is the best Car Cover to use? Options

[Woodside914]

Need help to identify what is the best Brand and/or Type of Car Cover for my '71 914.

She currently resides in my driveway in Northern Calif.....can't use the garage because the boat takes up too much room....lol

What's the best car cover to buy these days - made for the 914 that 'breathes', yet is water/dew repellant, and won't leave all that dusty gunk behind on the paint?

Thanks for any good suggestions.
Ken


Here she is for grins

tough call: nice 914 vs. nice and older boat

My coverking stormproof 914 version fits like a glove, but after rain the car is "wet" underneath likely from condensation

I also follow advice above and cover the expensive cover with a cheap cover. The cheap cover was the first I bought, used in the summer to catch droppings from the trees and birds, always leaves weird flaky white powder on the car like described above. Lame

What REALLY works to keep the 914 dry outside is my silver tarp. YUP, the heavy-duty tarp that you find at all hardware stores. I think it is the 8' x 14' that fits super good using bungees under the wheel wells to hold it down.

The "Perfect Combo" is nice coverking on the 914, silver tarp on top of that, and then cheap cover on top of that. I can usually "peel it off" intact! This combo kept her dry and dust free through several storms this winter. I learned the "hard way" that over-kill is needed when covering my sieve-like 914.

I love my new place in Point Reyes Station, but I miss my old garage!!
