I bought one from carcovers_dot_com. It's for inside the garage to keep the dust off, not outside use. I only use it when I have just washed the car - if the car is dirty, I don't put the cover on.
It can be interesting to put it on by myself sometimes as well. Personally I think it would be a pain to keep up with it on a daily driver.

Order the one on Sewell for my is, cost me 300$ but worth every penny, especially after I wash and wax my car, stays cleaner longer than without one, there is a certain way to put it on and take it off but it's easy after the first week. I like it cause I park outside in a driveway and the sapp and leaves get on it if there was no cover. Worth it if you got the $...

I use Car King I purchased from costco when it was on sale for $120. They make it tailored for the car in lieu of the universal ones. I like it because it is made for the car, costs a fraction of most other car covers, and it serves it purpose well. You need to wash the car before you put back on the car cover. I also wax my car each time I put it back on.

At home I garage my car, but at work, I rather use a car cover.
I used to use a Nextec type of car cover on my previous car, but was reluctant to spend as much as I did last time so I ended up buying a different one on ebay for $155 that has all the breathable & won't scratch explanations.
Well, the quality wasn't as good at my nextec. Within 4 days, you can see a very thin film of dust on the windows when the sun hits it. I kid you not, the dust, on a very fine level, is getting through the car cover. Thats what I get for going cheaper.
So, I turn to my lexo community here, to ask other IS 250 owners, what car cover you use/recommend. We get a lot of dust where I work at, so i need something that doesn't let the dust through.
Thanks.
p.s. i searched for car cover is250 in teh search and it gave me tons of topics; none related to car covers.

I got a cover king from costco for $120 on sale. Custom made for the IS so it is not a generic shape. Whenever I take the cover off, it is dust free and looks freshly waxed.

Thanks Dark Dream.
I should have mentioned my car is black. I use Meguia'rs car wash and the occasionall Meguia'r Waxer/Cleaner (in case anyone has data that these products attract more dust than not).
what color is your vehicle Dark?
I'm a member of Cosco so that $120 cover sounds tempting.
