Lukey. 381 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 The shiny metal inside of the back box has irritated me since I got this jetex, and I don't want to wait for months for it to soot up (even if it would by itself which by the angle I don't think it would).So I got the VHT matte black spray can out and sorted it out before tea much better!Improved Lukey. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Man I wish! But its near 600 mile round trip for me, that would be prob £200 in fuel alone, we'd all have to not eat for 2 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 This season my car has mostly been wearing, a silver pac-a-mac, I gave it a good wash and put its pyjamas on, and is mostly totally dead, took the battery out so I can easily charge it when it drains. I havent even looked under it for 4 weeks and probably wont until January. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Well, with the wind the other day the Clarke cover was as much use as a sheet of kitchen roll, it didn't hold itself on at all. So I've had to get another and wasn't going to get another Clarke, as its proved it isn't very weatherproof, I looked about and went for a halfords advanced cover this time, its breathable, the inside feels a bit softer and the best bit is it has 3 straps with buckles like on a kiddie seat on a shopping trolley, the 2 each end match up to the wheels and the middle is, er, in the middle. I've threaded the end ones through the wheel spokes so it cant migrate too much. It will hopefully live up to how sturdy it feels it will stay in place. Edited June 23, 2014 by Lukey.

Lukey. 381 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I hope so too, I've just given it another good wash and put it under the new cover for now, I know I won't be able to take the vibration of the DA right now :-( Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Well, good news, the scratches while they looked horrendous were actually just surface, they came out with a microfibre by hand Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I will highly recommend the halfords advanced cover if covering your car up and it lives outside, the 3 strong straps and buckles laughed in the face of the wind and rain, the Clarke one lasted ok in summer but did get a tear in it where the elasticated edge was stitched on in a summer breeze. The halfords one also feels softer inside. To summarise, I still wish I just had a garage. palmer 1 Link to post Share on other sites

c00k 435 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I would highly recommend Hamilton group - moltex outdoor car coverit's one of the only one i have found that doesn't scratch your car.but it not cheap. they start from £150 and go up to about £300one for my mk3 was about £165. but it's worth every penny!they really are top quality, and don't scratch the car, if it's clean when put on.http://www.hamiltonclassic.co.uk/acatalog/OutdoorCoverCarBreathableSoft.html Link to post Share on other sites
