Best Car Cover for the lude - Honda Prelude Forum

Padge · 07-09-2002, 08:00 AM

I cant stand this anymore. I take so much time to wash, wax and shine my car at least once a week, and it doesnt stay clean for longer then the day. There are trees surrounding my driveway and everynight when I part it I know it will look like shiet in the morning. I come down today, and like everyday, there is white crap and sap all over it. I would park it in the garage if there was room, but there isnt. I need to know who makes the best car cover for our ludes. One that can take rain, sap and bird crap and still keep the car clean and dry underneath. Thanks

California Car Cover makes the best covers for cars including our Preludes but they are very expensive.

I bought a cover from Pep Boys about 2 years ago and it still keeps the car dry and clean. It's lasted two winters and I have no complaints about it. It blocks a good portion of UV rays, water, snow, etc.

If you don't have the money for a California Car Cover then get a good one from Pep Boys. I payed around $140 for it but I forget the name. It's tan in color and is made with Technalon (spelling?).

Thanks Mark, Ill have to check out the Pep Boys near me. Was it a universal fit?

There is a code on the back of the box that says "A" will fit on certain cars, "B" will fit on others, etc.

I think "C" was the one that fit Preludes.

If you have a kit or plan on getting one, then I would get the next size up like a "D" because the cover doesn't quite wrap under the entire car now that I have the kit. The bottom rear is not covered (about 5-6 inches) and about 3 inches of the side skirts.

for a better answer on this why don't you try asking on some Acura NSX, Porsches, Ferrari or whatever other expensive car board? Though most of them probably have a garage...
