Car covers?

I need to store my car for winter in an outside enclosedmachine shed, too much cold here in Canada to drive most of the winter. I have had some experience with car covers and they always seem to let dust through and settle on the car. I am undecided whether just to buy a $30 ebay cover to protect from cats jumping on itor a brush by from the kids or tofinding a good one. Anyone havea good one that dust does not settle through? Or experience with the cheap one's ( I assume they are tyvek material)??
Thnx.

Fix it so the cats can't get in and don't not use a cover (especially if mice live in your part of the country) Dust will not hurt your car but a cover can.

If you must use a cover,get a quality cover like Covercraft, Ford,etc. Don't use a $30.00 cover,it will cause you more damage to the paint than leaving it uncovered.

Definitely go with a quality cover. Most of the ones that are under $100 will let dust and water through.

RE: Car covers?

I love mine from covercraft! It is used by many distributors and online sellers regardless of the name they give it. If it made by Kimberly-clark its for me. I have the custom fit one that is 4 layers thick and is for indoor outdoor use. http://www.covercraft.com/
