Since picking my Mustang up I've not once had a dry day to enjoy it, and so for now (and until she's detailed and protected) she's been covered up whilst I get on with other things.
Over the past 17-odd years, I've had three covers from Classic Additions (other car cover manufacturers are available) and whilst at the NEC Classic Car show I had the opportunity to poke a few covers from different vendors - and ultimately I ending up with the £200 Ultimate Car Cover (with a bit of discount).
There are obviously good and bad bits about car covers - and for the £50 jobs, I'd avoid them like the plague. These though are a bit different and after a week I've had mine off and it's bone dry underneath. No scratches, swirls or rub marks either (mainly because it fits like a glove).
Here a a couple of pictures of the water beading:

So, if you, like me, have to leave it outside for periods of time - and personally, since mine has been the favourite place of a local bird to unload on - I'd rather take my chances with this over the bird poo!
It's always a personal thing - I would stick it in the garage but that currently has a DeLorean in two pieces, selfishly taking up all the space!
