You have to have a breathable cover; it has to allow moisture between the cover and the paint to escape.

My two are by Wolf and I like them.

Do you store the Vette indoors or outdoors?
I first wrap mine in a microfiber car cover ($250) that is baby bottom soft and stretches over the shape of the Vette. Then I use the air bubble car cover to keep out the dust and critters.

I am pretty sure mine is Wolf also. I have had it for around 7 or 8 years and it has been washed at the Laundry Mat a few times. Still looks pretty good.

Keep mine indoors and mine is sheet type cotton. I like it because even though other covers breath they are so thick I worry if they breath enough (I am proabably being parnoid). I have heard Wolf is very nice, but cotton will work for ya too

Wolf protects my baby too. I especially like the pockets for the mirrors.
