Default Outdoor Car Covers

Hey guys i am gonna have to store my car outside here pretty soon, since im moving and wont have a garage anymore. My question is im looking at getting a car cover for it to put on when im not driving it. What is probably the best cover i can buy for outdoor use. im looking for something that provides protection from everything. Im not sure if there is even a car cover that will block my car from the rain or not, but if there is i want something like that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Alot guys..

I have a Cal Car Cover, works real good as far as protecting the paint. It was like $200 and comes in gray, tan or blue if I recall.

I use slp car cover. Reflective, breathes, and comes with a lock. I use it indoors to repel dust but you can use it outside as well. The car will get wet, but the dirt will filter through the car cover and the dew will dry. Worth 150 if you ask me.

No offence dude, but I had one of those. It's a POS when used outside like he needs. Scratches like hell and doesn't stop much water at all. If you think that's good, try a Cal Car Cover dude.

I have always been afraid of outdoor car covers. My mom had one on her car and it left the pattern of the cover on the car from being wet and the sun baking it on.
