Default Car cover

Need a new car cover and want a good thick one that doesnt shed like my cat. Car is garaged so it needn't be water proof. Did a search here and not much showed up. Any recommedations would be great. Thanks

I don't have a recommendation aside from walking into a Wal-Mart and buying one that fits a Corvette. Please don't judge I just don't have need for them. A word of caution though if you have a cat with claws. When a cat jumps on a car's painted surface they can walk and maneuver easily. Just pads on paint. However, if they feel that car cover slide on the paint under their paws the claws will come out by instinct and you'll have some lovely scratches in the paint. For this reason, if a cat with claws in welcome in the same garage as a car with a cover be warned.

Only dead cats or ones without feet are allowed in the garage

I like the the "Dustop" material for the indoor covers. Wolf used to make a nice cover from this material, but I think they are no more.

I can tell you which one NOT to buy...


I'm actually looking at the same, just need something to keep the dust etc off and maybe give a tiny bit of protection from shop activities

I've been extremely happy with Covercraft Car Covers. They offer a variety of fabrics for different applications and they can custom make one for your car in any fabric that you choose. I'd check their website for more information at http://www.covercraft.com/
