Default Quality Car Cover For 2016 Mustang?

Anyone have a recommendation for a quality car cover for a 2016 Mustang for road trips? I don't want one with Mustang logos, etc but just a good quality car cover for road trips as I don't a car cover in my garage. I want one that will keep the car clean, but will come off easy to put in the trunk. It doesn't make sense, but people were more likely to leave my classic cars alone when covered when I'm in a restaurant watching. I guess people aren't interested unless they can see what kind of car it is???

Buy something from American muscle right now and use a code to get a free cover I think. It probably has a logo on it.

Auto zone carries good covers, this one came with my '14 challenger as
Part of the Mopar package but fits my mustang fine but I don't use as even on non
Windy days the car is filthy and is glove soft and left scratches, I was told
By many detailers unless leaving in a garage don't cover and they are right
Cars stays cleaner uncovered

6+6 Stang,

My reason for wanting a cover is to hide & protect the car from interested parties when at a motel over night. I don't use a cover in my garage. I have found that a covered car "surprisingly" does not attrack the unwanted attention an uncovered car does! Most people will not lift the cover & don't know if it is a car that... they want to see! I found that out with a Concours '61 Fuelly Corvette! Out of sight out of mind! The wrong cover can also harm a lacquer paint job!
My son in white took the car to the prom... yikes! It came home safe!

NOTE: Putting a 61 Corvette Body on it's chassis with 4 Floor jacks! My buddy & I didn't have the right tools... so we held our breathes & got it done! Sold it years ago at a Jay Leno Show in Hollywood! Were is it now! You can have your money back! LOL!

I had one of these for my 07 when I was in college and had no other choice but to park outside in the AZ heat and monsoon seasons. Great investment. You can buy a cable/lock to wrap under the car as well to help it keep snug and difficult to steal.
