Default Car Cover Recommendations

I have to put one of the vets outside sometimes. While I have good indoor covers, I need a recommendation on exterior covers. Who makes a good WATERPROOF cover that is gentle on paint. What about the new tyvek covers.

I don't think any of them are truly "waterproof".

I used to have a Tyvek car cover - they're cheap, but they definitely let water and fine dirt/dust through. IMO, they're OK for blocking sun rays and for protecting against big stuff (bird poop, tree leafs, etc.), but they're not very good for much else (but, again, they are inexpensive).

I recently bought a car cover that uses Noah material - I think it cost around $200, but I believe it's waranteed for 4 years. I've been very happy with it - it's very water-resistant and doesn't scratch the paint (and fine dirt/dust doesn't get through).
