A lot depends on how you are going to use the cover.

* 99% Indoors - Good quality flannel lined cotton cover. Softest fabric against your paint.
* Mostly Indoors but some exposure to outdoor elements - A cover made out of the Evolution 4 fabric. Very good protection against outdoor elements (UV, acid rain, etc.)
* 99% Outdoors - Get a NOAH cover. Best outdoor protection. One of the few covers that is actually water proof AND breathable!

Any of the covers mentioned above will be fine for indoor use. The key is protecting your car if stored outdoors. The Evolution and Noah fabrics are made by Kimberly-Clark who has many years developing protective fabrics for this use. (Note: No I don't work for Kimberly-Clark.............


.....any more!!) :D

I have a performance choice brand cover that I got from midamerica about a year ago. I don't remember what kind it was, but it was something like $100. It's an extremely high quality piece of work. Fit and finish is beautiful. Construction is spectacular. Well worth the bucks. It's an outdoor cover that I use indoors, but that's OK. :yesnod:

I just pulled the receipt and it was the Weatherall by Performance Choice. Price was $129.99. Ordered from Mid America. Like I said. Beautiful piece of work. Fits like a glove.

Why do you need a cover if your car is garaged?

I have two Noah covers for my Monte Carlo and 79 vette. They are good. I'm in New Mexico and have to keep them out side until I get a garage up. I would pay a little more now and save big later Jim

I have a Noah cover. My car's parking spot is hit nightly by sprinklers. A little testament to the quality of Noah covers. :D
