All - just reviving this - can anyone who bought from Cover Your Car comment on their covers? Looking at one of their outdoor ones for one of my fleet.... The Advan-Tex cover I bought is fantastic, fit and finish are both great and the performance is superb. When it rains the water does get through but it also evaporates back out very quickly which obviously means it must be breathing properly, the inside of the car stays nice and dry and never gets musty. The lining is also very good, hard wearing but soft enough not to scratch. So you can probably gather that I like it a lot

Thread ressurection alert! We are NOT Cover Zone
<snip> Yet you use a photo of my old coupe in a Cover Zone cover to illustrate your product? (Which, incidentally, you didn't bother to ask about) Why would you do that if you are so adamant you are not them? link Just curious.

Very good value and well made, only thing they could do to improve it would be to move the pockets for the mirrors forward by 2-3 inches! Oh and he will normally sort out a discount! (codes have been listed elsewhere on here)

I bought a car cover off ebay for about £40 which said fitted to fiat coupe. When I got it it came in a generic packaing and I thought O no I bet this will be a load of crap.
..... well..... I was proved wrong! Its a fantastic fit, and I currently have no boot lid on my car and theres not the slighest hint of water in the boot at all, the things in the boot are't even damp! I am well impressed for sucha cheap car cover.
Its super soft inside and very waterproof on the outside.
If you like i'll get a link to the one I bought so you can see which one it was.
I honestly can't recoomned it enough for the price tag adn on fleabay at that!

BTW there were allegations that this company was also COVERZONE . However one is based on Merseyside and one in Ilford Essex. I also believe Theresa knows Greg and can vouch for him? That's certainly something I perpetuated - based mostly on the use of a photo of my car in a coverzone cover on the coveryourcar website. Its the one with the orangey fence to the side. I stand by my original review of the product, as it seems to be the same one sold by someone else. I have bought one of the Stormforce covers from this group buy, and thought I'd stick a review up. I know there have been problems with these in the past, but this didn't put me off too much as the location I'll be using this is very sheltered - my house on one side, neighbours on the other, and garage at the end, so well protected from three sides. The car is looking good (Gratuitous Coupe Shots 1 and 2) and I want to keep it that way. When in 'real' use it would be further up my drive.
Cover Zone sent me some samples of fabric, which arrived next day, before I ordered. I bought the Stormforce rather than Voyager as I think the fabric is much better. Voyager is a kind of plastic coated cotton, which I thought was a bit stretchy. The Stormforce feels tougher, but its probably not quite as waterproof, so maybe Voyager would be better in a very exposed location.
The first thing I would say is that this is a quality product. A strong case which is plenty big enough to get it back into, straps made of a suitably soft webbing, and little silicon covers for the clips , which are the only hard part that I think might be capable of producing a scratch (unless you get grit in, of course). The seams are triple welded and look like they will last.
Fitting is pretty easy, and Mrs. Mansilla was surprised how light the cover is. Photos of it fitted, with the straps on, from the front, back and side. The pockets for the mirrors are a little bit big, which is probably no bad thing, but would also benefit from being moved towards the front of the car by about 6 inches. The fitting at the back and front are both pretty good, but would be a bit better if the mirrors were moved. These are not big things though - overall I'm pretty impressed.
Quality: 10/10 Fitting 8/10 Greg - You promised to remove the photos of my car in April. There was no need, I was more pissed off that you - or whoever supplied you with the photos - had not asked. I see you have extended that courtesy to Mick.

Can I just say that I did ask Greg (Cover-Your car) about the connection to Coverzone and it would seem that there is no connection other then they both sell exactly the same product. no doubt made by a third party. There is no connection other than that. The quality of the cover is great and I have found Greg to be a top bloke, I have sent him a few photos which I believe he has used and I am happy that he is a good bloke to do business with. Would I recommend doing business with him? Yes I would. Hell we even ended up as FaceBook friends after I bought the cover. And the cover is definitely sound investment.

So £29.00 off eBay or put a zero on the end and £290 from the other supplier on this thread.
Is there really that much difference between the two covers? Big difference between the two Jimbo, the flebay one is excellent for keeping the car completely dry but being made of PVC it won't allow the car to breathe, this is fine if you're using it on an every day car because any moisture trapped under the cover won't stay there very long. The cover I have does let a little moisture through but also allows it to get out again, I've put my cover on after getting back from a very wet journey and gone back to a completely dry car a few days later and as my car doesn't get used for weeks at a time it needs to be ventilated. Horses for courses I suppose

Is there really that much difference between the two covers? I went for the breathable Voyager and it cost around £75 delivered. I am more than happy with it. It's breathable and no condensation when I remove it, it's easy and light enough to use almost every night and has two securing straps. (And Greg asked me if it was OK to use my photos and I said yes, that's blueberry hiding under the Voyager)

if i'd had known about the voyager one, I would have probably gone for that.
Although I am very happy with the one i've got.
