[doc] Re: Permabag

["John Chapelhow" <chapelhow@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alistair.

I have the indoor Permabag. 

I assume that it is like all the other similar products:
* the car goes into a big bag, sealed with a zip. It takes some 
getting used to, zipping it up slowly so that it doesn't catch. Could 
be a massive waste of >£300 if the zip breaks.
* you really need some sort of soft cover over the car, together with 
the product. The inside of the Permabag looks OK, but dragging it and 
the zip into position could result in scratches if your not careful.
* the instructions suggest leaving the windows open. Presumably to 
allow the inside of the car to get dried out. For security mine are 
kept closed with a smaller moisture absorbing cylinder in the 
passenger compartment (and in my case another in the luggage 
compartment).

It seems to do what it says. The Permabag comes with a digital 
hydrometer, but the leaflet suggests that in cold weather it is not 
as effective.

It doesn't take up much more room than my car, which was critical for 
me, but it does require a bit of thought putting the car away. The 
car should be dry! 

The Permabag itself will need storing somehow if I want to free up 
the garage floor to work on my car [ha ha yeah right :-) ].


It seems to have helped diminish the damp car smell. As I stated in 
an earlier post, B&Q sell a 'Unibond' moisture trap. Owners may want 
to purchase something similar to see just how much moisture may 
surround their pride and joy.

Damp seems to be an invisible way to 'age' the electrics, interiors 
and mechanicals.
