Basil Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hi lunartraveller, I have quite a bit of experience with covers on classic cars and you can do a lot of expensive damage if you pick one made from the wrong sort of material, they can cause dulling, scuffing and other damage to the paint that can take a lot of work or money to repair. This is the reason that a lot of people wouldn't use one. Some materials that they are made from are not very durable despite the manufacturers claims. I have had one that was guaranteed for two years that disintegrated after 30 months use due to UV action. I have also had several that have scuffed paintwork causing me a lot of work. However we have a Protec cover for the motorhome (they are currently also making me one for one of my toys after testing the motorhome one over a long period) and would highly recommend it, I have no connection with them other than a satisfied customer. They are costly, but this is one area that you do indeed get what you pay for. I have looked at the Fiamma ones and they are not of a very good quality, the material of which is liable to be unkind to your paintwork IMO. However as usual 'you pays your money you takes your choice'. Bas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
