It won't be left on the car trapping moisture between the cover and paint, but it will be used during torrential downpours here in the primordial swamps of the Guff Coast.

I've owned Stormguards and Evolutions, but they were not 100%, permanently waterproof.

Who, if anyone, makes a waterproof, not water RESISTANT, cover?

(blue WalMart tarp is not an option, but thanks for the thought) :xyxthumbs:
 
I use one of those universally-sized, totally waterproof,
clear-plastic car covers...over top of vehicle-specific
indoor/outdoor Covercraft car covers.

I found mine at one of the many online vendors'
sites listed under: clear plastic car covers.
Cost? Between $15-$20. :dblthumb2:

Here's a picture depicting what they
look like installed on a vehicle that's
similar to one of mine:

Scroll down on this page: Covercraft Car Covers offer protection and an attractive fit in a variety of fabrics & patterns! dustop, evolution, cover craft, truck, custom,

I'm not sure that any of these are really waterPROOF though, because they are all breathable, AFAIK.

Thanks, I had read that.

They aren't 100% waterproof.

Again, I'm not worried about mold, mildew, or trapping water between the cover and the paint.

It's not going to remain on the car for long periods of times, a few days at most.

Looks like "plastic tarp" is becoming the only option.

But it could be a workable option.

Thanks

Any fabric car cover will only be water resistant up to a certain point. None of them are waterproof.

I personally have the weathershieldHP car covers. They are very thin and light. They initially will repel water, but ultimately will get saturated. However, they dry very quickly and do not keep moisture in. They also do a great job of keeping dust out. I had the NOAH fabric before and that got soaked and took a while to dry.

I am not sure I like Bob's plastic car cover as that might certainly keep water out, but any residual moisture that does get in gets trapped. Plastic certainly doesnt breath. That might be good for a temporary short term cover, but not for long term outdoors. But that is just my opinion.

•WallyWorld has the reusable, 3 Mil thick, 22 ft. long,
(Clear)Plastic Car Covers...that many body shops use...
(and similar to the one I have) for ~$22.00.

•This is a temporary cover that has an elastic band
on the bottom; and will fit to cover just about every
car on the market.

Note:
This cover can be used over cloth car covers to
protect it from dust, tree sap, bird droppings,
and other contaminates. I use them on vehicles
that hibernate indoors during the Winter months.
