What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

[das boots]

last night i put my car cover on. we had a major storm come through and this morning the cover was soaked through so bad it was stuck to the body of the car. after a lot of effort i was finally able to get it off, but as i peeled it away it left a bunch of mud streaks all over the car. and then i had to figure out where to put a giant sopping mud-covered car cover (don't have a garage).

well i just can't have this. the cover is a noah brand i bought from the boss. it works fine in dry weather but it sucks in the wet/ice. so i think i will be selling it. i will post a f/s thread in the classifieds soon.

No need to sell. You can purchase those spray water repellant in cans and do the top of the Noah where the main source of rain usually sits. And after spraying, let it dry out for 24 hrs. to let it soak. It will be good as new. But do not spray with the Noah over the car. Find a place or table aand chairs to lay it out under the sun. You can get those repellant from any outdoor stores. Noah comes from factory with rain repellant. But over time, they deteriorate. I did the same to my Noah. I used 2 cans.

not sure i understand what you're saying. the cover itself is made of a fabric material that soaks through. the cover gets so sopping wet it sticks to the car. fortunately we did not reach freezing temps last night or i would not have been able to separate the cover from the car itself (the implications for the car's paint...i do not want to imagine). think i'm just gonna buy a better cover (and do more research this time).

I think he's talking about weather proofing it with like a 3M Spray or what not.

That's the one. Water proofing. I should have been specific on stating water proofing instead of water repellant.

If you do decide to sell it I may be interested. I'd be using it indoors so it would work fine for me as is.

Yep, that's the stuff. I've found that it really brings out the dolphin color in Silvergrey-Metallic. I'll get compliments on it at the gas station from time-to-time after I've washed it.
