Default Cover for Winter storage

As the title says, I am wondering what cover, if any, everyone uses on their car for winter storage. I have been looking at the SLP cover but am wondering what other options are available. My car has always been storage indoors but I am now wanting to get a cover to keep dust off it also. Thanks in advance.

I've used a California Car Cover for about 7 years and it's very good quality and quite soft on the car side.

This is my first year using the same. a Dustop cover. My wife bought it for me and was looking at one of the more premium covers with the softer lining, but the rep recommended that as long as it's stored indoors and cleaned before installation, the Dustop is the best bet as the others will leave a lot of lint on the convertible top.

I agree about California Car Covers. Quality and soft. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Thanks so far. I do like the Dustop cover as I park my car in a machine shed with a tractor and other farm equipment coming in and out of the shed. Still going to look around and see what money I have to get a good cover. As for the Dustop cover, how do you clean it after the winter storage? I haven't looked at that yet but personal cleaning experiences for the cover would be nice to hear. Thanks again everyone

I went with this one last year and it's good. In the spring, just shake the dust off.
