    What type of car cover?

    Hi,

    Im collecting a mint valver next weekend, however i wont be able to use it immediately and it will be standing for a while, possibly over Xmas time..

    I will completely clean it from top to bottom and waxyol or underseal all arches and sills.

    But i want to put a cover on it too, is this a bad idea, i heard they can trap moisture underneath and cause rust to form? Whats the general best thing to do?

    Sadly i dont have access to put it into a garage over winter.

    Thanks.

    we do ones that will breathe at work (Motor World), however they are not 100% waterproof, but, as it can still breathe then the moisture will go
