Default Car cover for winter storage?

Attempted a search, did not come up with much. Tried google and came up with too much...

I live in NY and have a 1-car unheated garage that I can store my '98 Convertible Camaro in. What do you recommend car cover wise for the winter storage? Taking it one step further, should I place a blanket or something else between the car & cover? Lastly, will a certain type of cover be better than another because it is a convertible?

Thanks!

I can't answer your question about if one cover is better because of the convertible top or not. I store my Camaro in a detached un-heated garage and I use a Covercraft Dustop. I also use this cover if I just wash my car and dont plan on driving it for some time just not for winter. Its amazingly soft and is designed not to scratch your paint putting it on or removing it. Also adding a layer of padding incase someone bumps into it or whatnot. Covercraft has been around a long time is a very reputable business in the industry and made in the USA!

If your car is stored in a garage, almost any cover will do just to keep the dust off it. It's indoors, that's the main thing. Out if the sun, snow and rain.

Here you go OP. I have this one, and it works great. Does the job of keeping the dirt and dust off the car, which is stored in an unheated garage.
