Default Good car cover

I am looking for a good quality car cover for outside. Something 200 or less price range.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have a Noah on a 3rd gen that lives outside and it works well...I wouldnt trust a super nice car under it for an extended amount of time but its certainly better than just leaving it uncovered.

Ive mine under a California car cover right now. Its got brand new paint and even after strong winds, there isnt one scratch on it. The only thing about it is that its not water proof. I wonder what would happen if you sprayed scotch guard (or a similar product) on it to repel water?

What about the SLP cover?

Does the Noah cover let water through it?

I bet that would work for you.
Of course I would spray the cover with the water repellent off the car and let it sit for awhile before putting it back on the car. GOOD IDEA!!

After research it looks like "Noah" is a material made by Kimberly Clark and several different companies make their covers out of it.
