super advice thanks. I thought of one of those car covers but I think they are counter-productive. ive got lots of rust proofing stuff so its a matter of going mad with it before the weather goes mad.
I know what you mean about the covers. As I want to use the car, any benefit the cover may bring will be nil once I put the cover over a wet car after the daily commute. I'm worried it will just trap water under it, might be better to let it just air off naturally, and leave the rust prevention to the wax. I might just get one in case I'm going to leave it for a few days though.

To prevent any deterioration of the chrome I smothered it in undiluted waxoyl, applied thickly with a rag then left as is. Having done the chrome I thought 'why not?' and proceeded to do the same for the paintwork. By the time I'd finished I'd used a gallon tin squirted in the cavities and another gallon spread like butter all over the car, I then drove it like that the entire winter.
I've thought about this and asked a similar question recently whether it would be ok to do so. I might apply it on the panel lines and gaps etc. I don't mind it looking grimey as its beige/poo brown anyway
