Default Cover question..

I built an additional room out of my garage so I have to leave the car in the driveway with a cover on it.
My question is this, on a hot sunny day is it better to leave the car uncovered in the sun or with the cover on?
Its a Cover King breathable cover.

Thanks

I would think the cover on, the suns rays are very harmfull. Park it in the shade if possible

I have to keep mine out covered also. Bought a good heavy weight, but still get dust and some water through it - must be the "breathing" factor

But this is my reason for a cover when not driving.

Default Dirty cover?

How would you wash something as big as a car cover? Commercial laundry maybe? Garden hose it on the grass? I'vd had dust penetrate and sit on the paint. Any ideas?
