Invest in a good one, I had a cheap walmart one and in about year or so it started tearing. This was also on a car that was stored inside a garage

Im pretty sure I have a Wolf cover..... can anyone tell me if this is a good cover???????


i dont use it though because i have a feeling it is the cause(from the previous owner) of some swirling patches of scratches.... seems to be where the fabric of the cover is stitched together

my car is black so I try not to touch it with anything


good cover? pricing?

I have one of these for my camaro. It works fairly well when the car sits outside. Its breathable. I also use it when the car is in the garage.

I have the California Car Cover Stormweave. It's one of their best outdoor covers. Its completely breathable and UV resistant. Its also California's thickest outdoor cover so its meant to resist against people bumping into it.

My only complaint was that after the 1st year the place where my antenna screws on developed a small tear. I called California and they gave me the option of shipping the cover to them and having them repair it, or just sending me the material and i Could repair it myself. Had them send me the material and it arrived in like 3 days. Great Company, great covers, great warranties. Highly recommend it.

Im using the California cover on mine also. Its thick to protect the car from my daughter and anything else that could hit the car and also very soft.

I had an SLP cover and thought it was a POS, it would scratch the hell out of the car every time I installed/removed it. It was also paper thin and offered zero protection against something hitting the car ect.

My CCC has a foot of snow on it now, after brushing off 9 inches earlier. NOTHING got through, and the car was still clean and dry. Man... I LOVE it!

Noah cover for the win! My Firehawk lived one winter outside (rain, snow, ice), and that cover kept it just as clean and dry as the day I put it on. DEFINITELY worth the money. It also provides a good amount of padding.
