Default Outdoor cover recommendations?

Guys,

I'm looking for recommendations on outdoor car covers. I don't plan on using it that often & I don't want to 'break the bank'. Any recommendations & pics are appreciated.

Google Weathershield HP, thats the type i use, have had them for 4 different cars, they are great. Weatherproof and small and light, can be washed and dried in home machines.

I picked up a gently used GM outdoor/indoor cover from a seller on here and love it. It's the black one with a grey stingray down the side of it and they also make a grey one with a black stingray. It is easy to put on and remove and repels water like crazy. It's pretty expensive, but if you can round up a nice used one, it wouldn't be too painful. Coverking makes it for GM, so perhaps they have one under their own name that is just as nice and less costly?

GM part number = 23142884

Not my photos, but this is what it looks like:

Coverking's custom fit autobody armor is quite nice. This cover is thick enough to protect from door dings and if the cover and the car are clean it will not swirl or mar the paint. It is a pain to clean though because its thickness makes it only fit in the large washers they have at the laundromat. It costs $500 too, which kinda hurts.

Not sure who makes this one, you'd need to contact the seller, but the price is right!

On edit: Looks like it's made by covercraft based on a link in the ad...
