Default V90 Car Cover

I took the plunge on a car cover. I needed one because the V90 would be parked under trees for a couple of weeks in Italy, and previous experience (I bought a plastic tarp because of the amount of sap that dropped in just one day - I expected some but not enough to make the sheet very sticky) made it a no brainer.

Anyone looking for something like this will know that there are a few out there, but I settled on this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audew-Prote...gateway&sr=8-2

So far it seems to be a wise choice - it’s a decent (not tailored) fit, quite easy to put on and has stayed put. The inner surface is a thin soft surface which I’m happy to have against the paint.

Someone looking for something similar may find these pictures helpful.

If there is any wind at all the cover is going to mark the paint where it constantly moves and abrades on the paint ,A risky thing to do, easier to remove tree sap , a good hand wash dissolves that .. ..
