Used an outdoor cover to protect the car from dust, moisture, and possible door dings while I traveled during the week.

If there is any chance of moisture, use a outdoor for sure.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all, I will be parking my porsche in a multi-level garage type of space soon, and I am considering a car cover for it. Porsche makes an outdoor and an indoor cover. Is there a big difference? Given the semi-direct exposure to NorthEast weather, an outdoor cover seems like the more logical choice, but I am not entirely sure.
PS: the car is now a weekend driver only, so no movement during the weeekdays.
I did this in a former life. Used an outdoor cover to protect the car from dust, moisture, and possible door dings while I traveled during the week. It was an outdoor cover and was weather
resistant
, but not weatherproof, but in a parking deck/garage, this was fine.
The indoor covers I've seen are very thin and will offer little protection for anything other than dust.
Big difference.
Indoor car cover light weight and designed to protect car against dust and possibly wayward cats. (Though the car cover can attract cat attention cause on top of car with cover nice place to grab a cat nap.)
Outdoor car cover much heavier and designed to protect car against not only dust, but water (water and dust will spot car paint in no time), bird mess, tree debris, and designed to stay on in high wind. Always best if you can though to arrange to park car away from any trees or other plants that can drop debris onto car and this includes in the case of wind possibly heavier debris like branches even limbs and which of course means no birds roosting above/over car. Be sure you avoid a space that receives water from an overflowing rain gutter or drain. And when I park in a covered space I avoid parking under sprinkler or water or drain pipes. They can leak and drip water (or worse) on the car.
If any chance car will be exposed to the outside weather even indirectly from wind blowing into garage with or without rain best to get a car cover made for outside use. Be sure it is securely fitted to the car.
Neighbor has a 993 Turbo (midnight blue) which he covers with nice outdoor car cover. Car parked under carport cover but exposed on all sides to wind and rain. Every so often when he's away on business I see car cover lifting off of car during times of high wind. I walk over and pull cover nice and tight back under the car.
Your car may not have a good neighbor like me to watch over it.
Be sure car cover snug and its elastic edges all the way under the body. My Boxster and Cayman outdoor car covers fit real nice and secure as long as I got the cover under all the way under the car. My Turbo only has an indoor cover and I don't use it cause I park car outside. I plan on buying an outdoor cover for it pretty soon. I'd like to find someone to buy the Cayman car cover since I no longer have the Cayman. Only used the car cover once or twice before Cayman totaled in accident.
Oh, both Boxster and Cayman covers Porshe branded. My Turbo cover will most likely be a Porsche cover as well. Good covers and at least the Boxster cover I got on sale. Sort of hoping to find a sale on the Turbo cover.
Sincerely,
Macster.
I have an almost new Porsche Weathershield cover I no longer need, if you're interested.
Has a Tequipment tote bag and cable w/ lock.
$190 when purchased new from Suncoast.
Price negotiable.
PM if interested.
