Recommend an outdoor weather resistant car cover for Golf 118TSI Mark VI

[jc29]

Hey guys,

I would like to know what suitable car covers there are for the Golf 118TSI Mark VI.
Since the car will have no weather protection, an all weather cover would be great.
I'm not familiar with the body type classification of the car i.e. small-sized hatchback or medium-sized hatchback.

Did a quick search and haven't been able to find any posts regarding car covers.

All suggestions and help is appreciated
Thanks guys,

I wouldn't bother mate.

All you will do is sctratch the crap out of your paintwork every time you fit it and remove it. Little pieces of dirt will get trapped btween the cover & your paint and cause major damage over time.

Better to invest in some protectant sealers or waxes for your paint and do it yourself. Better still see Dave at Reflect Effect in Rydalmere. For the cost of a cover or two he can work his magic with Opti-coat paint protection.

Just my 0.02c

He is right you know.. if you don't want to go the pro route then go get some Nanolex, does the same job

Golf is a medium sized car btw as well

Polo is small

Thanks appreciate the suggestion, just regarding the Opti-coat I've had a quick browse thru the services provided.
Just curious if you have used it on the wheels, interior as well?
Only asking as I've never done this before and would just like to know your thoughts.

Btw, recently noticed scratches when I was cleaning the car, some a$#h@#! scratched my rear left bumper, do you reckon a stage one enhancement would fix the paint (I'll upload photos later, if required)?

@Ryan: Thanks mate, learning something new about my car everyday

It's been a while since I've last been on. Will give Dave a call this week. Anyone know how long it usually takes?

What is everyone's opinion of the Nanolex protection for the:
-Glass coating
-Interior protection
-Wheel coating (Opti-coat)

Only asking because I've never used these type of services and/or brands. Did a couple searches however I'm considering the complete car protection if it's worth it. Any thoughts?

I havn't used anything but the paint protection, though having sen the effect I am seriously considering doing the rims as it will deal with the brake dust issue.. window treatment is neither here nor there for me

Here is a video I did of one coat of a sealant I got from Final Inspection (this isn't Nanolex but a sealant made by Final Inspection, Melbourne)

Sorry about the portrait format - grabbed the phone for a quick video and forgot

Basically a wipe on/wipe off application

I've got it on the wheels, paint, trim and glass

Thanks guys, appreciate the advice.

@Candyman: Looks fantastic will definitely consider it now

No worries mate - happy to chat via pm if you need info on that stuff. I can probably even give you a bit to try.

That was applied 3 weeks before that video (first wash)
