Default what car cover do you use?

Hey guys I'm looking for recommendations on a car cover. I know SLP has one but I'm wondering what other options I have. I'm not looking to spend an arm and leg on it

I got one of those $40 ones from Autozone. I didn't need anything hardcore and the cover was supposed to protect against rain and dust - it doesn't. You can spit on the car cover, feel the other side, and get a handful of spit. Also, it doesn't keep dust out AT all.

My brother got a really good, custom fit one for around $100. I would post a link but they are not a sponsor.

I just bought one from www.carcoverplanet.com. They have free shipping. I got the tri-guard custom fit. I love it. It really stops the dust. I had a SLP cover and it was swirling my paint. The SLP cover is a indoor cover. My car sit under a carport, but it is not enclosed. Def stay away from the auto zone covers.

dust top it is then.that cover is designed for a vehicle that is stored in a garage,protects it from airborne particles and uv,just isnt water friendly.
