Default Car cover suggestions

I was wondering if there are any good car covers for outside use. I have always just been religious about keeping my car clean and waxed up. I have a black car so I have always worried about fine particles getting between the cover and paint then acting like sand paper and scratching the car.

I have a cover made of NOAH material, extremely durable for all weather conditions. I have had other covers before including one from the factory and this NOAH material is much more durable. I park my car outside at all times and NOAH is definitely a must in NYC where we get all 4 seasons of extreme weather. The brand I have is WOLF but they are owned by covercraft now which sells the same product for 2x more money. I believe CAL covers also make NOAH covers.

One HoT, do you by any chance have a link to the car cover you are referring to?

I usually put the cover on in the garage, so I don't have to worry as much about dust and grit getting in between the cover and paintwork.

I bought this cover for my 2011 IS C 250. It is light weight and easy to put on. Love it so far.

I always covered my 1992 SC400 from the day I bought it was a Lexus cover. Did that for 9 years when I was working and covered it every day, weather permiting. It was a custom fit and didn't move around from light wind, etc. Kept the car exterior (and interior) looking virtually new for that time. Having to replace the cover every few years is still a bargin for what you get out of it, in my opinion.

I've always covered all my vehicles, I even have a cover for my '02 Ranger 4X4 for when it sits outside. Paint and interior look almost new, of course I buff it too. I've used Noah and Evolution. Both good. Evolution seems a little thicker.
