Default Car Cover?

I am storing my car in a 2 car garage with winter and want to get a cover for it. My grandpa will be driving in and out and I think I would like to get one that has some padding in it for protection incase he like opens his car door into my car one day.[/align][/align]So whats a good company? I see there are tons of different types of covers out there too. Any suggestions on company and type of cover?[/align]Thanks[/align]

If you're worried about other car doors banging into your stored car then go grab some of that large diameter +5" foam pipe insulation tubes & hang it beside your car. Or some of those Nerf-type pool toy tubes would be just as good. Waaayy better door ding protection than an insulated car cover

You can get some foam insulation boards (very cheap) and tape it to the car cover where you are concerned.
Or check this out....I have seen some companies that make it with magnets. Bad thing about Magnets is, it you have Metallic Paint it could mess up the flakes in the paint. This company uses suction cups;

California Car Covers are very good for storing your car indoors. There are also other companies that you can look into. If you are a member of Costco, you can purchase one of the CoverKing products or just go directly there;

I bought one from them for keeping my car outside. I'm very pleased with the product.
