Default Car covers

Hello, first time here. What brand of car cover (reasonable) would you guys recommend for a 4th gen stuck in the sun? I understand it really hurts these cars. Tia!

I bought a Coverking Stormproof Custom Car Cover and it is awesome for outdoor storage. A bit pricey, but it fits perfectly and provides lots of protection.

I've got two. One for a Porsche Cayman and one for a 99 Firehawk. The Cayman one is about 5 years old. The Firehawk one is a couple years old. The older one is starting to fade a little bit, but it is structurally perfect. It handles the weather and provides a little bit of padding to keep things from brushing the paint.

I got what I thought was a decent cover and it was great for about 2mo but then the fl sun made it deteriorate fast. It faded and is now easily ripped with the slightest tug.. its now pretty much useless. I'm just trying to find a cover that will work well and last a long time without breaking the bank. The ones for under or around $100 all seem to be the same kind of Chinese crap advertised as amazing but all the 1 star reviews show they are mostly short life trash.
