Hello Rex,

Check out: Vettes under cover.

Their covers feels very very soft and they look great. Also, they do not have map pocket and are a bit longer on the sides. They go well past the center caps on my rally wheels which I like.

Regards,
George

The covers are great, but I also use the Paint and Body, plastic sheeting under the cover for my '95. A roll is 16 feet wide, by 350 feet long and will easily cover any Corvette. I discovered this, because my shop is right next door to a guy who paints lowrider cars and that's how he keeps the dust and dirt off the new paint, while he's applying graphics.

It is thin, but tough and easily spreads over the car, to totally keep the dust off (because lets face it, even the best car covers collect dust and dirt) and it is easy to remove. Your Corvette will be totally dust free if you do this.

Default car cover

it depends on your intended use . car covered outside ,in summer ,winter,snow . buy the best thickest multi-layered . if your cover is to be used in a garage just for dust... thin / cheap would work . i bought a 5 layer no name off fleabay . i covered my car for two weeks outside in the spring with rain then found a storage place to put it in and still cover it just for dust .

Keep in mind that car covers used outside can do some damage to paint on the edges over time with the wind constantly rubbing the fabric on these areas.
