Family,
anyone store their car outside (covered under a tarp or something) over the winter? in Ottawa our winters are from Dec to April with temperatures dipping to as low as -40 (F and C). I would appreciate some thoughts and thank you in advance. T (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |

The blue poly tarps (when they get cold) act like sandpaper on the paint. This is due to the woven warp of the fabric. Winter winds help the effect. If your going to tarp it use a soft type tarp.
Also tarps trap moisture underneath and act like your putting your car in a bag full of water. There are tarps that will let moisture out while keeping rain from getting in. Or get a car bag. The zip up and don't let moisture accumulate under the tarp. Example is: http://permabag.com/auto.htm |
