Ok basicly I park on the street, everyone down my home road knows it my car, but I washed it yesturday and today after work it's all dusty. Would a car cover help prolong the life of my hard cleaning work, keep off bird poo and uv rays. My dash is not cracked and would like 2 keep it tht way. And playing hot potato with your steering wheel is not much fun ethir.

Hi,
I wouldn’t recommend a cover if the car is outside, the movement in the cover from the wind could do more damage, like rubbing the paint work, I would go for a good quality wax, which one (that’s a new topic altogether ) with the hot steering wheel get a silver sun blind to go inside the window.

I have a sun shade that I put inside the windscreen that helps. Leaving the sunroof open is good too. As to the dust. Thats just the weather. Will soon be raining again Agree with Pete. Car covers are a waste of time. They do blow about & you will curse it taking it off when it's wet.

I had a cover that I used for a few weeks before I could garage my 944, but found that it was leaving stains on my white paintwork that took a few polishes to remove.

I wouldn't use a car cover either, a couple of coats of polish a year is enough to protect the paint.

To keep the dash in good condition I would apply Meguiars Interior Trim Detailer every few months.
