Recommendations for Car Cover on Matte Finish
 
Morning Fellow G friends... Getting ready to renovating our garage/guest house and the new G needs to sit outside for a while.. Any recommendations for the best car cover, considering a matte finish, as well as being located in Sunny/Wet South Florida.. Thanks in advance.

With the Matte finish regardless of any kind of Cover, when the wind blows and that moves around on that finish you will see a difference and you won’t be able to fix it without painting it .so you’re better off with no cover Hope this helps. have a nice day.

Never use a car cover on a car that is outdoors, no matter the paint finish. You will scratch the paint all over the car. Just inspect the car every day or two for bird droppings and wipe them off with a detailing spray or waterless wash and a microfiber towel. If it rains, then you may have to wash the car or at least dry it to prevent water spot etching.

Dust and pollen are unsightly but are not damaging to the paint, so you can leave those on there until your next regular wash.

good points.. thanks...My first matte car, so wasn't 100% sure, but in retrospect, it makes total sense.. thanks again... KT

I would at least get it ceramic coated ASAP! And I agree about leaving it uncovered...no hurricanes on the horizon, yet.

You could also get one of those temporary/portable garages or one of those blow up car storage things.
