Yes Canuba wax..
Found in Autoglymm Hi-Def, Collinite, Swiss wax etc
Better than ANY cover
Apply once and re apply 6 months later

Covers wreck paint, and obstruct the vans ability to breath, I have found.
jus' my 10p :ok

FWIW I wax AND cover. In my experience the cover has caused no problems for paint provided it does not flap around, has a very high quality soft inner lining and you check it for foreign bodies easily picked up when it is possibly allowed to come into contact with the floor. I've used my Hamiltons cover on both my freshly painted Bay and my not so freshly painted T25 and had no issues at all. Hamiltons are, however, a little more expensive. But cheaper than building a garage! Neither van is laid up for the winter so whichever is under the cover only ever spends a max of 2 weeks under it (often less) which probably helps keep from trapping moisture as well. Just my 2p worth!

i have one of these - they are excellent, especially for the money.

i have owned the much more expensive versions, sold by Just Kampers, & reckon they're not half as good....
