Cayman Outdoor Cover

[Byakkonick]

Hi everyone,

Now winter has arrived I am looking for a good quality fitted outdoor car cover for my 2007 Cayman. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good cover as there are so many to choose from??? I am seeing prices vary from £130 to £300???

Get a heavy weight one so the wind does not cause the cover to abrade your paint and one advertised as being a breathing outside waterproof cover.

I would suspect £300 is nearer the mark of what a good tailored one will cost.

Hi Jon
I have seen an official Porsche Cayman cover for £185, not a bad price I thought. Still pricey though.
I thought about keeping it well waxed over the winter and not bothering with a cover? I just don't know how much damage the frost can do though and the sun is an obvious problem??

Cheers for your reply Jon.

A well waxed car will stand up to the elements. I would not use a car cover.

Cheers Sean. Didn't bother with a cover in the end. Keeping it waxed and running it twice at week now. Seems to be coping fine, apart from the brake pads sticking to the discs even after a day or two of been stood, but I hear thats common on all modern Porsches. After 10 minutes of driving though, the brakes are always back to normal

Thanks for the replies.

Mine lives outdoors seems ok, well waxed and I get the same with the brakes though.
