    Just purchased a 2021. I have a lot of oak trees anD already getting lots of unknown substances all over. Any recommendations for a good outdoor cover.
    Thanks

    Personally, I will never use another outdoor cover as I had a Porsche 930 turbo under restoration waiting in a paint shop's lot in Miami with an outdoor cover on it and when they removed the cover the black paint came off in sheets.

    Only thing we could figure happened was that condensation was building up under the cover overnight and then steamed up in the next day's hot sun causing it to lift the paint. No real harm as paint was being totally stripped for new paint anyway, but taught me a lesson.

    Take the time and ceramic coat your paint or have shop do it and shouldnt have to worry about your paint job . If you ceramic coat your self make sure you clay bar then do a paint correction then apply ceramic coating . Also with ceramic coating you can apply layers of protection just be sure to let applications cure for 24 hrs

    My 2018 TRD Sport looked like hell, pollen all over it and in every nook and cranny. All it took was 1.5 hours and the below items and it looks beautiful again.
    Like I recommend above forget the cover.
