Car covers, anyone have one? Best Cover advice

Have a 2008 JCW and it has always been garage kept until recently, had to move and will not have access to a garage for a year. Try to keep it very clean but, the trees and birds are not cooperating. Have been looking at car covers and was wondering if anyone had advice.

Thank you in advance.

California Car Cover.... super fitting covers, can be washed and dried, water resistant, breathable, customizable, and a good guarantee. Some stitching came out of mine after two years of daily use and monthly washing/drying, and they sent me a new one, for only the cost of postage.

That's why we have one for each MINI.

So that is my recommendation.

Covercraft car covers are also very good. Take a look at them, that is what I have.

I use a CR Spotless system and Pinnacle products I get from Autogeek. I wash my car every week.

Car covers usually work great. The only problem with them is that they get dirty and you have to wash them. Then the car gets dirty while you are washing the cover. So then you have to clean 2 things instead of one. JM$.02.

Much better than tree sap and bird droppings.
