Default Best outdoor carcover?

Since the SLP cover is now almost impossible to find for a good price, what does everybody else use? any recommendations? I hate leaving an all blk/blk car outside to bake in the sun.... anyone heard of Covercraft? with the noah rain option? Im just looking for one thats pretty much waterproof and can block the damaging rays of the sun and save my dash

I just ordered an indoor Covercraft cover, the Dustop. I read alot about Covercraft on the Autogeek forum and everyone recommends them.

I don't know what your price range definition of "good" is but you can get the SLP cover for 170 bucks. The California covers are about the same price

I use the CoverCraft brand as well, but for indoor purposes. I have the Dustop model. Excellent fit, great product.

I've never tried their outdoor covers, but if the quality is anything like the indoor covers, then you'll be very happy.

You can get the SLP one on e-bay but its not as good as Wolf they have them to custom fit your car for $149.95 from Summit.

For an outdoor cover you want an unwoven rather than a woven fabric. Unwoven will allow any moisture on the car to evaporate rather than be trapped (mold). Also can get these with excellent UV protection properties.
