Default SLP car cover

Yay or nay for outdoor use? I'm considering getting a car cover as my car sits outside in the apartment complex, it is my DD but I want to preserve what I can.

Recommendations for outdoor use? Will be exposed to strong UV and rain during summers.

I have one and it's pretty good for outdoor use, except for extreme windy conditions where it'll just lift off!
I made 2 tie downs out of string, one from fender to fender under the front & one across under the rear that hooks behind one of the exhaust clamps, that seems to work quite well.

Car covers are hell on your paint. I understand you are trying to protect it but in the long run it will probably do more harm than good.

Trust me because I speak from a bad personal experience, do not EVER use a car cover outdoors, and think twice about indoor use. They usually do more harm than good.
