Definately go with California Car Cover Co. I purchased 3 "Supremeweave" covers for my Camaro's, and couldn't be happier with them. It cost me over $1,200.00, but well worth the money. Here is a direct link. http://www.calcarcover.com/cover_find2.aspx

I have the Cover Craft unit which is indoor/outdoor. It repels water, snow, dust, UV rays... and all other goods. I have 3 units and covers a car outside 90% of the time. I have never had an issue with it. Very durable and you can even wash it if need be. I recommend this cover!

I'd love to know where the heck you wash them though??? I tried years ago to find a machine that could handle the load. Perhaps I need to try some more cleaners.

Mine has 15 years of dust, goop, beer, hot dog mustard and italian beef au jus on it.

As "JHerston" mentioned, I take mine into a laundromat and use their big, commercial grade washers.

Yeah I tried that but the ones I went to (3 of them) didn't have a commercial grade washer. I need to be more persistent.

I use ONLY cotton covers from either California Cover (grey) or Beverly Hills Motoring (blue)....I think Cal is cheaper...no plush crap, no fleece,no storm,no nothing but pure bare ass cotton...laundromats can handle the wash job...cotton is probably cheaper too.Make sure your body guy wants it covered right away...

No matter what cover you use, make sure you wash or dust the car with a California duster before putting the cover on. It is the dust on the paint that has the abrasives in it that scratch. Also wash the cover at least once a year. We used to go to the laundromat but we got a new washer/dryer Whirlpool duet. It says it can handle 21 pairs of jeans! I don't know about that but it handles the car cover easily. Frank
