What brand/model of car covers do you guys use? Some many choices out there many seem like marketing hype. Just want a high-quality cover that will see 95% indoor and 5% outdoor use but want it to help protect against dings/water/dust etc.
Eyeing the Covercraft HP or the Mid America 5 layer cover. but I prefer real-world results/experience than all the b.s. advertisements.
any thought appreciated.

For 100% Indoor Use....
California Car Cover is my choice........The Custom Weave is for Indoor Use but very soft and slides perfectly around top of ZR-1 with absolutely NO scratching when installing....fits nice and snug all around and you can Personalize as you like :thumbs:

Budget cover from Advance - $54.
Lay it out, and spray it with 2 x $7 rattle-can of clear poly. Makes it a $154 cover...

I really love the Wolf cover I have, but someone told me they are no longer in business.
Recommending a car cover is not easy because everyone seems to have different "likes". Some want a soft stretch car which really only seem to be good for indoors, others want something heavy for all around weather and ding protection. To make matters worse, it seems like many of the manufactures keep changing up their offerings.
I like the kind of cover that puts up good numbers for everything. Something that could be a good all-around cover...very soft on the inside, ding protection, good breathability, won't let dust filter through, etc. I have never used my covers outside, but they were made to handle some of that too.
I am not a big fan of the soft stretch covers. Yes, they take up less space, but in my opinion, it is not as easy to keep the dirty side always on the top side, and they slide around easy on paint. A heavier cover takes up more space, but when I fold it up on the car, I know that I am keeping the dirty side from sliding on the paint. Yep, I am proud to be a little bit of a waxer.
I will sum it up and say that I think California Car Cover Co makes good covers.
