I spoke to a local detailer about car covers and he recommend not using one because they tend to wear
the paintwork on the four corners of the car and unless the car and cover are spotless you're just going
to put hundreds of tiny scratches on it every time you put it on and take it off.

Yes...... WAX ! :D

Car covers carry a greater risk of using them than not in my view. Others may disagree, but I do think they are more hassle than they are worth

fully agree with all before, although I did see a cover just covering the top/windows on a bogster the other day which I thought kinda neat, keeps the frost off windows in the winter and of course stops your cab top turning green!!! :D
