Default Car Cover

Hey everyone I'm looking for a car cover that can be purchased in the southern Ontario area, at a place like Canadian tire etc. I may be storing the car outdoors in the winter so I would like one that's good for indoors and outdoors in the event i can't find a spot to park it for the winter months.

Also, i've read in the forum that the way to dry the car after washing is with an electric leaf blower, is this actually the case, and if so can anyone recommend one from CT etc?

Thanks!

hmm thats probably the easiest way, I still use micro fiber cloths but I'm sure this eventually leads to swirls and why you need to way. I should look into one for next year...especially for getting all the water out of the hatch

X2 microfiber it is for me too, was wondering why he asked about a leaf blower in CT? If im correct leaf blowers are available in all continental states.

I believe the reason some use a leaf blower on the car after washing is not to dry the whole car but to blow the water out of all the cracks and crevises after you towel dry. That way you dont get those never ending water trails out of the mirrors, gas cap, hatch area, rear lights, wing etc.

I have a 5 HP shop vac so I jsut use that on the blower mode and it works great.

As far as a cover, I cant recommend one as I store indoors but Canadian Tire carries ever kind of cover for indoors and out.

In Canada, CT is slang for Canadian Tire
