Default RS4 Car Cover?

Live in lovely Minnesota where brings copious amounts of chemicals on roadways. Reluctantly planning to put the RS4 in cold lay-up in the garage. Any recommendations on a car cover that has met with approval?

Default Interior?

There's only one you should be considering for interior applications: Covercraft's Form-Fit.

I've got one for every car. Highly recommend.<ul><li><a href="http://www.covercraft.com/Form-Fitâ„¢.htm">CLICKY</a></li></ul>

Default If you have any moisture concerns, you might consider a Carbag or similar. It may be overkill in MN

and for what you are doing but if, for instance, you are sharing garage space with other vehicles that are driven in and out, then it may be the way to go.

These bags totally seal the vehicle and use a desiccant product to abosrb moisture. The vintage car and M/C folks use them a fair bit.

I am presuming you won't be using the vehicle at all for the winter. I'm using a similar tactic (a winter car) except I will in fact drive it on days when the roads are clean. Then again, I'm in the PNW where a few good days of rain and the roads are good to go.

Default I plan to drive it all winter

If I wasn't planning on using the all wheel drive I would have purchased another vehicle.

Its what makes it a perfect vehicle for those of us here in Adrian Peterson country.

Just get it washed more often and have it buffed out in the spring if you are worried about it.

Default 3rd. As much of a rare bird as it is, these cars were not built to be garage queens.....

Like many others here, if I wanted a pure fair weather toy, I would've bought something else. Just take good care of it. I won't drive it in major salt and sand muck immediately after a storm, but I can't stand the thought of not driving it for 5 months.
