Question Car cover

Where is the best (cheapest) place to buy a car cover? My car is always garaged and kept out of sunlight. I want something to help with dust as well as be soft enough that I won't have to worry about scratching it when I put the cover on. Any suggestions or experiences would be helpful.

I currently have a SLP cover, but will probably be getting a california car cover, since my car is also garage kept, and no longer kept outside.

Mine is from California Car Cover. They have a few different types including a dust top model that is light weight. I went with one a few steps up just in case I needed to use it outside.

does the slp car cover protect your car from rain? I keep my car outside most of the time and would like to not have to wash it everytime it rains.

since you are just getting it for dust, i would just get one at wal-mart. it's not a perfect fit, but it does keep the dust off and wont scratch your car. only a little over 10 bucks, thats what i recommend

Yes, I've had the SLP cover for about 3 years. My car was always kept outside until recently. I washed the cover a few times, but rain will not bother the cover.
