I have a Wolf and they are great. Mine is for indoors and to prevent dust gathering on the car. They do make various outside covers. Other members put me onto the brand and they were right a good cover for around $200.

I'm a Costco fan. Same state, same climate and for $40.00, I can buy a pretty good cover. Everything outside catches dust and sooner or later, it makes its way through the breathable cover. When it does, you can just replace it. Anyway, cheap to try...

I got mine from autozone about 30-40 bucks if I remember correctly.
It's cheap but it keeps the elements off of the paint. In the 4 years that It's been on the car I haven't noticed any noticeable scratches in the paint. It has 2 plastic grommets in the bottom that I run a bungee cord through to keep it from blowing off.
