Default suggestions for good car cover

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good car cover? Our vette has fresh paint and it may be outside sometimes in the summer.
Any feedback is appreciated.
-Jeff

Contact CF Supporting Vendor Jonnathan at JW Motoring. He carries a number of car covers from Coverking.

Ask him for the "Storm Proof" cover. I have one on my 92 and it's a very nice cover. "We" (she) liked it so much that I bought a second one from Johonathan... for the (her) Mustang.

Great vendor to deal with.

I've had a Covercraft Weathershield HD for a year now. I got it from AutoZone when I first got my car, it was kind of pricey, 470 dollars. I found better deals later. I would recommend it highly, the quality is the highest, but I drive a lot less now. It's always wet with condensation in the morning or from rain, seriously something to consider. I don't think they recommend it for fresh paint either.

This may be inherent to "breathable" covers. I have a NOAH fabric cover and moisture does go thru along with the dust that was on top of the cover. I do like it because it does stop water from entering my car which leaks badly when the cover is off. Because its breathable, moisture and the cover does dry quickly.

Since fresh paint is still curing, I would be hesitant to cover it at all. Ask the body shop about it before you do anything.
