Me too. I wash my car every 3 to 4 weeks because I use my California duster twice a week. Here in CA where it doesn't rain during the summer months, one can get away with this. It also helps that I go from garage to garage so it doesn't get too dusty. I was thinking of using a cover everyday when I park my car at the train station, but I found one with a garage so I don't have to use a cover. All that rubbing on the car paint while it's windy doesn't sit in well with me, dust or no dust.

I was thinking of picking up a Ca Duster. Good to hear the positive feedback.

In case people are still looking for them, you can order from many different stores on-line or go to your nearest Target.

Default My car covers.. How about yours?

Not everyone has a garage so a car cover is the next best thing to keep your car clean> I have only seen a few threads with pictures of there 2IS car cover, and never seen any CAli. Car Cover with the reflective bars like mine. Any one else have a nice car cover that they would like to show. If so please post.
Thanks Jon

Default Cost$$$

IT was pretty expensive. Something around 200 = 50$$ for the reflective band and another 40 for shipping. But def. worth every penny.

YOU ARE GETTING UNWANTED ATTENTIONS!

It sure looks good but that UFO style cover definitely gets my attention to approach and try to smell out the alien beneath it.

I agree it would be a good toy if using it in a private garage, but I don't think the idea would fly to use it in public.

My opinion only!

I like it except for the huge advertisement printed on the front. Do the sides and back have them too? The reflective stripes are a good idea, but I dunno about the big ol' banner printed on it. If they have to put their name on it, it should be something a little less conspicuous, IMO. I'm surprised that big phone number doesn't light up in the dark as well....lol
