Default Car Cover

I need to get a new car cover for out doors. Do you have any recommendations?

Check out this website. They sell some good brands at a great price. I bought my Evo 4 from them;

You could do a cover, but if the car is going to sit outside for a length of time it won't bee too beneficial. If the cover gets wet you'll need to remove it and dry it off. Some covers claim to be water proof, but thats if its a LIGHT sprinkle.

I bought my car brand new right off the car carrier and I have kept a cover on it since. Unfortunately it has to sit outside until I can get more space in my garage. So in order to help protect the paint and finish, I had to do something.
You have birds that like to let loose on your car which bakes into the finish on a hot summer's day or drops of morning dew that etches in your clear coat or worse, a cat that likes to walk on cars. It is by far the best investment I have made for my car. The finish still looks like new.

I would advise though to the OP, if you get a cover you need to always wipe your car before you put the cover on. This will eliminate dirt and debris from getting into the fabric.

Get a custom fit cover that fits tight. Worst thing is if dirt gets under it and the cover moves in the wind and scratches the paint.

Whatever you get, make sure it has a warranty. I would also suggest not putting a hole for the antenna. Rain can get down it and thus defeats the purpose.
I remove my antenna and put it in the truck before I put the cover on.

I looked that one up and found that Noah is not good for extreme sun. While it is a good cover for most conditions, you are mainly paying for the painted emblems.

I have the Evolution 4 made by Kimberly Clark. It has 4 layers of material and does a great job all around.

Thanks
I was leaning toward the Evolution 4 and you help me make up my mind. I had the Wolf NOAH and it is letting to much dust through.
