Default Car covers

What cover for your car, do you guys recommend? Maker or fabric types?
I've found many different types, and don't know where to start.

This is a little different, but my wife and I got a set of bed sheets from Berkshire Blankets. These are some of the softest, nicest, most comfortable sheets i've ever seen!!! I'm going to call them and see if I can get two flat sheets and have my daughter sew them together.

Start with where you'll be storing it. Indoors, outdoors, controlled temp environment,rain, snow, sunshine, wind etc. Then choose one that fits those conditions and your budget.

I use the Superweave Cover from California Car Cover. It works great both indoor and outdoor. It is lightweight, easy to handle, folds up small, can be machine washed, and is near water proof. The only drawback to it is that it does not provide much 'cushion' against dings etc. (if the car is kept in a high traffic area). I've tried thicker covers but I always come back to this one...


Superweave Car Cover

Providing the premium in outdoor, all-weather storage protection; Superweave is our most UV resistant, water resistant and weather resistant car cover. The versatile Superweave material features unsurpassed moisture, dust and pollutant protection. The encapsulation technology goes INSIDE the fabric, around the fibers, resulting in a silky smooth finish that glides over fine paint finishes. Our Superweave Car Cover fabric is also dust-proof so it will keep your vehicle clean whether it is stored indoors or out. It still remains exceptionally breathable, allowing moisture, condensation and heat to easily escape from under the car cover. When rain hits the cover it simply runs right off and any moisture left on the cover will usually dry in about 10 minutes. Its unique lightweight design also enables it to fold up to 1/3 the size of your typical outdoor car cover (about the size of a sweatshirt or jacket), but does not take away from its ability to protect your automobile's finish. The material is also easy to care for because it is the only fabric that is washer and dryer safe. 4-year limited warranty. The Superweave car cover can be ordered in one or two-tone color combinations. Available in Black, Bright Blue, Grey, Sky Blue, Green, Red, Taupe and Yellow. Grey is the most popular for outdoor use and will reflect the UV rays of the sun the best. Bright colored Superweaves may fade in direct sunlight but do look great for indoor use. Motorcycle covers are also available in the Superweave material; in Black, Grey and Taupe - single color designs only. Made in the U.S.A.
From $259.99

Thanks for the replies fellers. The car will be kept inside, on my lift. Never left out in weather. I pretty much need the cover to basically keep dust off. I'm looking for fabric that won't harm paint over long term usage. Appreciate the recommendations!
