I have an old Bimmer Z3 Roadster that I have been covering outdoors for most of each year for about 18 years now. My family gave me a Noah (I think I got that name correct) cover that lasted about 10 years before it started to decay. I replaced it with an identical one. The newer one now failed mostly because squirrels and other critters chewed and scratched big holes in it. This cover was a thick, moisture resistant fabric with a very soft car-side surface. All things considered it did an amazingly good job of protecting the paint. It breathed well enough that nothing rusted, corroded or showed any type of water damage. This car still has its original 24 year old rag top. Bird dropping seemed to be the most detrimental element to the cover itself. They stained and rotted it. A few times I laundered the covers in a large horizontal machine at a laundromat, then air dried it. It cleaned up nicely. The Noah’s were expensive, like $300 if I recall correctly. I recently ordered a SealSkin to replace it for about half that Noah price. To be fair, I didn’t even look up how much Noah’s now cost. I just got an offer for a SealSkin and ordered it.
