I bought the "stormweave" cover from California Car Cover. Car is always in the garage, but just in case I bought one that would hold up outside if needed. Perfect fit, easy on and off.

I like my Cal Car Cover Plushweave cover. Awesome fit and super soft flannel lined so it doesn't scratch.

in all honestly if ur parking your car indoor (like me) ive found the car cover to cause more harm then good. just wash your car once a month.

What are you talking about?!?! If it's put away for winter why would you get it out once a month to wash it??? If you get a good cover that keeps dust off the car there are no problems with a cover. I have no issues with mine.

Agree ^^ When mine lost its daily driver status I didn't have a cover. The car got covered with dust just sitting in the garage. Bought a cover the next week and never looked back.

SLP ones are junk. Nylon/poly is NOT a good material for a car cover. I've heard of several people who have had their cars scratched using them.

i always put a day permit on the car and drive it around for a day once a month. if your gonna park the car for like 6 months and never start it then yeah a cover would be good cuase your not gonna keep takin it off and puttin it back on which can scratch the paint.
