I just picked up a new tacoma, and I'm in the market for a Truck cover. This is something I have never purchased before. I haven't ever really cared, but I'm actually going to make an attempt to keep this taco nice. They are a lot harder to get then I imagined, after hitting up several local stores it looks like I'm going to have to buy it online.
I live near the beach and the truck is going to be parked outside, so it needs to be waterproof or resistant ?? Basically the marine layer gets saltwater on everything overnight so I need cover that will handle that.

 

Scratch that - though you were talking truck caps for some reason.

 

I don't know much about car covers, but I have heard that people actually advise against getting a car cover if parked outside. What happens is that dirt gets blown in under the cover, and with the wind blowing, it starts to scratch up your paint. If you're in a garage, sure, use a car cover, but if not, I wouldn't use it.

 

nevermind.

 

How about just doing a undercarage power washing every week or so. That should keep the salt water corrosion at bay.

 

A good waxing will do you right. Just increase the intervals over normal conditions.
