I am interested it purchasing a product like the Carcoon "bubble" airflow system. I attached a link but I can only find information from the UK. http://www.carcoon.co.uk/carcoon.htm (http://www.carcoon.co.uk/carcoon.htm)

Anyone have any information on where I can find such a product in the States?

Does anyone have a system like this and how well does it work?

I have a 55 Chevy that I keep telling myself one day I will restore it. It has been sitting for the 13 years I have owned it. Really nice one owner original paint surviver car. I have had it in storage but thought this would be an additional tool to keep it preserved. Maybe after I finish the Chevelle I might start on it. But until then this seemed to be a great additional tool to keep it clean and dry.

I used one to store my PT Cruiser outside for about two years. I thought the outdoor one I got was from car capsule, but dont see it on their website anymore. must not have been theirs that I used:hmm:. It was not as "sophisticated" as the carcoon one with a double wall, it was just like the clear one but an outdoor material. Anyway...it worked real good, even for outdoor storage. The car was always clean and dry, even the brake rotors were not rusted up after a winter. Of course the snow load did collaps the cover, but once you brushed it off, the bubble just popped right back up. After two or three years in the sun hoever, the material degraded to the point that it ripped like tissue paper. I probably could have extended the life if I treated it once in awhile with some UV protectant though.
