I've just moved house and the large tree the overhanging the drive is shredding fine amounts of sap onto the car. It washes off easily with hot soapy water but I think its time to invest in a decent cover (for the car not the tree!), one that fits well, looks ok, and doesn't scratch the paintwork. Can anyone recommend one they have used? I've looked on Fleabay and as there are several to chose from recommendation from a fellow forum member would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

The question is, are you prepared to wash your car every time you use it before you put the cover on, as that'll be the only way to minimise scratches caused by it.
I assumed I would have to. Appreciate the response, thanks.
As long as the paint is sealed and a good wax it should be fine. The sap should come off with a microfibre and detail spray. Personally not a big fan of covers as mentioned, especially if its windy and the cover can move about. (You might be able to use a gazebo type cover whilst the tree sheds sap at this time of year)
Ultimate cover from classic covers. Heavy duty and breathable.
I have a light weight cover I got fro design911 but I bought some flease covers from home base I cover the wings and arches with before I put the cover on. It works a treat
I had an original tailored Porsche out door cover for my 986 Boxster S, was excellent, used to notice a few scuff marks on the contact points, i.e front and rear wings after windy weather but always polished out When I bought my 996 Targa in Emerald rainforest green, I bought the same cover from Porsche tailored for the 996, but this time after any windy weather it left notciable marks on the tops of the wings and roof rails, which have proven very hard to remove Have not bothered putting it on again ??????
I use a tailored cover made by Covercraft they have several in their range mines a "Noah" ive been using it for about three years, the car is always covered when not in use. Absolutely no marking on the paintwork although it always washed before the cover goes on. Send a pm if you would like any more information.
Thanks for the replies, all.
