You read it correctly. I'm most worried about heat and UV protection

The only notable damage I have ever seen due to sun damage was across the back of the rear seat and it had been left parked

with the rear of the car facing the noon day sun for three weeks in the South Of France! The dark cloth upholstery had all but 

smouldered.

A car sitting doing nothing for long periods has lots of determents, its position relevant to the elements are a few.  Best way to deal with it (other than actually using the car regularly and changing its parking position and location is to have something like the Carcoon with its protection and ventilation.

 

Otherwise a foldable garage might be an alternative with allowance for natural air movement ventilation.  We have a maker of those locally but do doubt there are others, this company specialises in lightweight part and full covers too, their website isn't the best as they're an older style company, they do supply outside UK.  I've had a few of their products and mates have had custom altered covers. - http://www.cover-systems.co.uk/car-covers/carfoldinggarages.htm

 

im thinking of something aluminized 

This is a UK company where (most) companies and people pay their taxes but of course you don't so you can take the 20% VAT (value added tax) off of the prices as you are outside of the UK.  Example -

 

Covers and Products for the Skoda Felicia hatchback (94/01)

  • Outdoor Full Size Cover - (£181 / 1.2) =  £150.83
  • Under Cover and Outdoor Full Size Cover Set - (£308 / 1.2) = £256.67

Under Cover - http://www.cover-systems.co.uk/car-covers/carundercovers.htm

 

It rains quite often in the UK so the covers have to be breathable and waterproof, (to BSI standards) see information on each product, perhaps the non-breathable aluminium outer layer would be better if you don't get rain and condensation, you would have to check with purchasers that use the covers in your country for long term outdoor storage of their car(s) such as those with very restrictive use of "historical" vehicles.

As for the record:

In GR of the total of 8.9 million taxpayers, 67.7% of the total, i.e. six million taxpayers, declare an individual income of up to 10,000 euros. They share 28% of the total income (i.e. 24 billion euros) and pay 4.93% of the total tax, i.e. 400 million euros.             Freelancers are the biggest tax evaders.
From 10,000 to 20,000 euros is declared by approximately one in four. There are 2.07 million individuals with a cumulative income of €30 billion (i.e. 35% of the total), who also pay 30% of the total personal income tax (approximately €2.4 billion).
It has been calculated that for 175 out of the 365 days of the year, Greeks are expected to work in 2024 just to pay taxes and contributions to the state.
They don't pay taxes (not even a public transport ticket) the Gypsies and foreign "immigrants" but they get all the allowances (paid of course by the others).

 

@Thefeliciahacker you must pay attention to the tyres, the car-cover does not protect them 100% and you need a board beneath each tyre so won't touch the asphalt.

A rubber-care product will also help them due to summer.

    I dont really care about being waterproof, its just for summer use

    Slow down I'm not from Germany, I meant there are taxes to be paid and (most) have to pay these taxes which increases costs here in the UK but outside the UK you won't have to pay the VAT, the products prices are shown including VAT so you can discount the prices by 20%. 😄

    Well I supposed it depends on what you call summer, I know you get some rain in Greece but if it's not enough to bother about fair enough.

     

    If you want/need wheel covers they are available, just as an example - SILVER WHEEL COVERS - http://www.cover-systems.co.uk/wheel-covers/silverwheelcovers.php

     

    There are of course plenty of tyre savers about for those that want/need them.

    In ebay.co.uk there is an extra charge (Customs) when you go to the Post Office for delivery.

    I paid that extra for my EBC brake pads bought from Uk parts e-shop (not ebay).

     

    Since Brexit, goods exported from the UK to anywhere in the European Union (EU) are subject to import duties and taxes. A Value Added Tax of 24% is usually levied on goods entering Greece from the UK.

    Customs duties are calculated as per TARIC (integrated tariff of the European Union).

    Gawd, never put the B-word on a UK site.  it 's a religion here to some (on both sides).

     

    Here we call them "car hoods", the cheap ones no matter if they say "waterproof" they aren't.

    After long hour rain will absorb water and problems will show up:

    Moisture, bad smell, mold, blur in body paint etc.

    Felicia is not okay with the sun

    @nta16 here is a today's (mine) sample for the extra charges from UK to GR.

    Buying from ebay.co.uk that latest years it's a economic disaster.
