I know this is more of an opinion question, but I’d like to take advantage of the vast experience of the forum members. What is the best exterior covering that meets the following criteria/limitations?
Low maintenance:
I have a hard enough time keeping my car washed, so don’t really see myself polishing the exterior that often. (yes I will check my bearings and other safety maintenance things often). Also we don’t have a place to store it, so a cover or tarp is the best we can do.
Durable:
Will be used off-road, so I expect it to get dinged by rocks and scratched by the occasional large woody shrub. I don’t mind it looking like it gets used, but since the exterior will be a protective coating as well, I don’t want something that is no longer effective if dinged or scratch.
Reasonably low cost:
Low cost is good since otherwise we can’t afford it. Also, something that can be inexpensively and easily replaced if the exterior starts to get too worn would be good.
No white:
I don't want to offend anyone, so this is strickly a personal preference. I don't want MY TD to be white because it makes me think of the big RVs, which I don't want to emulate. Ok, I'll be flexible on this one - guess I could always paint over it if the substance is white.
I am sure this has been addressed early, but I got too many hits on my search! There was a poll asking what exterior coatings were used, but it didn’t really address what situation they would be used in.
All thoughts are welcome!
