Further to my recent Swissol polished STi8 pictures, this is the result of applying a further layer of protection to the paint-work.
200 quids worth of SCC breathable / waterproof car-cover:

It's on - tight.
It does not move very much at all, even in high wind as the fabric is not that light-weight.
I appraised every type of fabric that I could find, before buying this one, for exactly that reason - I wanted something that was durable (and would resist, for example, cats), waterproof (obviously), breathable (can't have it sweating under cover) and most of all - kind to the paint on the inside.
The fabric from SCC was by far the best on all accounts (though I guess polythene sheeting would probably be slightly more waterproof
).
If you do want the ULTIMATE in car covers - then look no further than Carcoon. Check out www.carcoon.co.uk for the expensive details. A friend of mine bought one for his father to wrap up his Jag SS100 in. They're obviously not cheap, but short of drying, draining and shrink-wrapping the car it's the best you can get. I'd guess these are less cat and thief friendly than my SCC one though...

...and as for the garage - Everyone knows that garages in modern houses aren't designed for cars, they're designed to be filled with clutter (including boxes of car cleaning gear). The car would probably just fit in, but then I'd probably never get the door open wide enough to get out. My Mitsi FTO wouldn't go through the doors - I tried.
