Default Recommendations for Car Covers

Good evening,

I've got a 2016 Lexus GSF and I'm looking for a good outdoor car cover to keep it from getting really dusty and from the clear coat getting damaged. I live in the central valley of California, it gets 110+ degrees this time of year, and dust storms are also prevalent.

I'm not looking for something over the top, just something that will fit the vehicle, is easy to take on/off and is outdoor rated, not a delicate showroom cover. Price is a factor, but I'm willing to pay decent money for something that will last. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks!

Thanks for linking that, I did a search before making a thread, but perhaps I didn’t type in the right term 🤡

Unfortunately any car cover is going to cause marring/spider webbing on the clearcoat since dust will get trapped between the paint and the cover and the wind will blow the cover around. Still better than sitting out in the sun all day though. Shade/garage if at all possible is the best.

Yes it’s not a perfect solution, but I cannot garage the vehicle unfortunately. We Californians use ours for storage since we don’t have basements 😛

I do plan on making sure the vehicle is washed when it does get covered to minimize that. I’m also sure getting a ceramic coating on the entire vehicle will help too. I have some paint chips and cracks to fix first that came with it unfortunately, which was upsetting considering I paid a lot of money for it to be L/Certified, but it is what it is.
