Car Cover Recommendations - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I'd go with the cockpit cover (waterproof if you can get it). We have the full car cover and my wife never uses it because it's a pain and it takes up too much trunk space. The soft top and interior are what will be damaged the most in a short amount of time.

I'd think the paint will be fine if you keep it waxed well.

Rail26... I too have a Basalt black 987... I've been using a Noah car cover since new... I use a base of Klasse all in one with a final coat of P21S carnauba... Looks terrific... Scratching the finish hasen't been a problem, but I agree with perfectLap, you don't ever want to cover a dirty car, as scratches would be inevitable... I had a Guards Red 986 previously and was very anal about being careful when covering it... If you are willing to take the extra precautions I think a good well fitting cover is worth it, of course if you don't have better options ( a garage, or covered car port etc.)

Kind of. The one I've seen is for use when the top is up to protect the top and interior. I'm not sure the type in the url will fit if the top is up. I saw an ad for one in the Panorama magazine that looked like it was easy to put on and fits with the top up.

Sounds good. I garage my baby, but when I'm out at the flightline I can't park it under cover and unfortunately I am usually there from sunup to sundown. I might see if I can bribe the guys and park it in the hangar.
