Any ideas where I could get a cover for Notty? Various places do covers for T25s but I can't find anywhere that does a cover for a hightop.

Re: Cover for a high-top
http://www.specialisedcovers.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .. cost about £280
or in my opinion wax is the best cover...
worst thing is a cover, wrecks paint promotes damp loving mould
best wax for cold weather protection... are
Autoglym Hi Def
Collinite 915 Marque D'Elegance
Nattys White & Blue
RaceGlaze 55
Swissvax Divine, Mystery, BoS and Concourso
Victoria Concours
All applied ONCE then just wash after use
Allways use a HARD wax first , followed with a soft wax.
this will give all winter long paint protection.
As long as detergent is not used and a good quality shampoo is, then the protection is as good as a cover.

Re: Cover for a high-top
That's pretty much my view as well, I'll check out the link you posted though.
I have gone over her with Auto Glym 'super resin polish' and hopefully next week I'll chuck some 'extra gloss protection' on her as well. Neither of those are in your list but are they any good? I used to use them on my MX-5 and that stayed looking lovely.

Re: Cover for a high-top
On a detailing forum the ones I have suggested came out on top way , way ahead of any others.
they were tested over 12 months, waxed once in the Autumn, and washed in car shampoo once a week.
these waxes remained repelling water, soluble salts and anything else in rain these days, without waxing again till the following Autumn
temps are too low now to apply hard wax, so regular soft waxes like yours will suffice.

Re: Cover for a high-top
Ok thanks, I'll try to remember to get one of them for next year. At least she has some protection now.
