Default I am about to buy the Audisport cover but have a quick ?? for those who have used it:

My garage is stored in my garage...so the cover will not be experiencing any UV light, rain, ect.

The catch is, my garage doesn't have a garage door. So if we get a really bad blowing snow/rain storm, my car will get a little wet/build up about an inch of snow.

I read in another thread that the cover does not handle outdoor weather well, but do you think it will be fine experiencing the *minimal* weather conditions I listed above?

Default I think so, mine's been used in rain and it does ok....

it isn't completely waterproof, and it takes a while to dry out, but if you can deal with that, AND if the wind doesn't blow it around a lot, you'll be fine. wind causes micromarring from most covers that are rated for some outdoor use.

Default Do not even worry about covering the car. Just leave it as it is.

If you are there all the time, just clean it off the snow as it accumulates on it. There is no need to cover it if the car itself is not even getting direct sunlight.

Default detailing term for tiny/very fine scratches in the paint. If your car isnt spotless dont bother

with a car cover, but if you dont care about that then go for it.
