Car Covers

Any of y'all use one and if so, what brand, is it hard to put on, etc. Any info would help me make a decision of whether to invest in one or not. My poor car sits in the blazing Houston heat all day, Mon - Fri (while at work), and there is a new building being built right behind my office building. Needless to say, there is a nice coat of dust on the car every night when I leave work.

SLP makes one that would fit, it looks light weight and not too much of a hastle to carry around in the trunk.

I bought mine from California Car Cover. Fits great, has mirror pockets. Easy on and off.

Id make sure you get one with a lock on it, like the slp cover so someone doesnt steal it

I bought the Multiweave II. I also bought the lock and storage bag. Mine is just used in the garage, but I bought that one just in case another project puts it outside.

I have a SLP one, and I really don't like it. It makes small scratches in the paint. Its not bad and they wax out, but it doesn't seem to me to be a real good product. I may end up getting a NOAH cover and selling the SLP one.

Thanks for the input everyone. Are these things a pain in the *** for one person to put on relatively quickly?

not really. As long as it has the cups for the mirrors, its not to bad. Just hook the mirrors, pull it over the front, then the back.

Very easy to install. I just roll mine out on top of the car and stretch it under the front bumper and work my way back. To take it off, I pull it from under the front and rear, take it off the mirrors, put a couple folds in it from both sides (its now about 2 foot wide and lays down the middle of the car) and then roll it from back to front and store it in the bag.
