DING! That's the correct answer. There is about 15 different fabrics out there. All depends on what you're asking out of the cover. All these questions above have to be answered to find the right cover. It's not a 'one size fits all.'

I personally have a California Car Cover but have since stopped at Undercover on the Power Tour a couple times. I'd recommend either

I am in the South so we get all four seasons here. The summers are very hot and the winters are very cold. The cars are outside so I would like to have inside/outside covers. Would like to have nice, durable covers to keep the dust, rain, and UV's off the cars. Breathable and washable would be nice. Really no budget. Something that is lasting and does it's job is worth it.

I will have to get an indoor cover when the 69 Firebird is completed.

Thanks for the help.

We use 2 covers. A really soft microfiber cover for the typical protection. But we also use these thin plastic covers with elastic edges to keep the dust off the car when stored indoors. The problem with the micro fiber or any non solid or breathable cover is it will let all the dust through the cover when you remove the cover. So we put the plastic cover on first and then the cloth cover over that. Now when we store a car outside like at a car show or in a hotel parking lot we put the plastic over the cloth cover so the morning dew or maybe rain will not soak the cloth cover. Plus the plastic covers we sell are cheap enough we just throw them away when they are dirty.

Now you don't want to use the plastic cover on a very freshly painted car as it wont let it breath.

I've had 4 covers from California Car Covers. I prefer the SuperWeave for indoor storage and the Stormweave for outdoor.

The Superweave is very thin and great for keeping cars dust free. Easy to put on and take off. I also like this cover because you can throw it on the car at a show if it rains and it is near-waterproof. This cover doesn't provide any cushion or ding protection though.

The Stormweave is much thicker with ding protection but still very breathable for outdoor use. After a rain, the car dries with no spotting but may have some dust residue from the cover on it.

If you call them, Cal Car Cover reps will help you make the right decision for your scenario.

California Car Covers for mine. I believe I get the Superweave... pricey covers but 4 yr warranty that I just put to use. They just had me send a coded patch from the cover in with $10 and they sent a brand new one. They feel like the outer layer of a high tech rain jacket or something and fit the cars really well. Call and tell give them more info about what you're using it for.
good luck!

Will the breathable outdoor covers always let some amount of dust to settle on the car?

What is best for the outside use a breathable or non-breathable cover? Will a non-breathable cover do any damage to the car?

Thanks
