Default Car Covers: Whats The Best???

I just bought a 99 WS6 Red Trans Am, and I live in NJ Anyway, in the winter months I want to get an All Season car cover. What is the best one? I've heard that if you leave them on to long they can damage the paint. I want one that will keep the car looking like I kept it in the garage. Anyone use an all season car cover? Anyone recommend one? Thanks

You have to be really careful with them or they will scratch your paint. Also if you let rain get on them it washes all the dirt and dust built up in the cover right onto your paint job.

get a car cover from california car covers, they are a bit pricey but they work. i have the stormweave (sp) and it repeals almost all water. the only time the car got wet is when it seemed to rain here for a week straight, other than that water never gets in.

it has not scratched the car and has been through some pretty heavy rain and wind. the web site claims that they are guaranteed to never scratch the car. the web page is www.calcarcover.com.
