What car cover should I use for my convertible Mercedes?

I have recently bought a 2021 Mercedes C Class Cabriolet. We live in an area that's regularly visited by seagulls and suffer with frequent deposits! Hence I am keen to preserve the condition of the cabriolet and looking for suggestions as a to a good quality half cover or a full cover for the car. A cover that will last for many years and not just one or two seasons. I have looked online and am just not certain of the quality being offered, some look to be made of nothing more than garden furniture cover material, which from experience just does not last.

A cover is a great way to preserve the condition of your car, especially a convertible that is more susceptible to damage from the elements.

You can read our guide to the Top Ten Car Covers on Honest John Kit. Given the cost of your car we'd suggest going for something top quality. The best we've used (personally for our own cars) are from Classic Additions. The Premium Outdoor Half Car Cover is £105 but a very worthwhile investment given the quality and service.
