Good indoor cover? My WS6 doesn't get driven much at all, and now with winter coming I'd really like to get a nice indoor cover for it.
I have a heavier outdoor cover from my '99 which used to sit outside, but now my '02 sits comfortably in the garage but tends to get a little 'dusty' from everyone going in and out, me working in there, etc.
I've only put just over 1k miles on it in 4 months, so it really sits in there most of the time.
Can anyone recommend a nice light cover that breathes well and will keep my baby spotless?

I got one of the cheap ones from autozone. Took the cover off 2 months later to find a bunch of really fine dust. Blew right off with air tho-if it's a "breathable" one it will still let fine dust in. Just my .02

People sell the SLP/GM ones fairly often, because I think it is a fairly common item to "forget" to include when selling the car.
I don't think the cover could be much thinner, it folds up nicely into the space of a 12 pack or so, and they orginally come with a lock cable and bag. Since it is fitted so well, it is very easy to put on/off by yourself. Hook the mirror pocket on one side, and work your way around.
I think I paid $75 for mine here. Costs a little more than generic but fits perfectly and snugly. Well worth it.
I actually use mine outdoors, and it does just fine. Car sits outside in Michigan for ~4 months and opens up looking freshly detailed in the spring. However the car is under a carport so it doesn't get directly rained on or have snow sitting on it. Should be perfect for a garage cover.

I'm looking for something too. After putting so much money into my paint and body, and then putting her in storage for the next 2 years or so, I want the best I can get. So TTT with this one!

I bought mine from wal-mart. Had the car coverd for about 2 weeks, when I removed the cover it looked like the day I washed it. I need to check who makes the cover.
