Car Cover?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some advice. I always keep my cars in a "better than new" condition but am getting a wee bit tired of having to clean them everytime a bird craps on them or after a storm etc. I keep them in my drive but unfortunately its not really possible to build a carport or awning where they stand due to the layout of the house. I do have a garage but its too small as its built for a Morris Minor (really).

Now I have been looking at car covers recently but there seems to be some debate as to whether they can scratch the paintwork. I have also looked into the touchless ones like carcoon etc but am still not convinced.

Probably the most important things are that whatever I go for it must:

Not scratch the paintwork

Be storm proof. We regularly get 50mph winds at the house, max I have measured is 76mph.

Can be semi permanent or anchored if need be


Any Ideas?
