If it's just for in the garage, I would just get a cheap one to block the dust. Check out ecklers.com

Love my Covercraft Weathershield. It's expensive but worth it. The quality is excellent. It's almost 4 years old and looks almost brand new. A nice snug fit and doesn't damage the paint. Plus, it's washable in a home-sized washer and rolls up into a very small size. It can be used indoor and out and has provisions for a locking cable.
Check out their website at http://covercraft.com/

How about a NEVER USED Stormshield, which is for SALE.

If you are just looking for a car cover to strictly keep the car covered when it is in the garage, I would suggest buying a premium flannel cover for the car. These covers cost $139.95 and I do have them in stock. The only disadvantage to these covers is that they only come in tan. A storage bag is included with the purchase. If you need any other assistance in car care or personalizing your car please do not hesitate to contact me.

My recommendation would be to buy an "all-purpose" cover. Even though you might primarily only use it for indoors, why limit yourself if you ever need one for the outdoors?? I suggest you consider a cover made with the NOAH fabric. It is one of the best outdoor fabrics and also makes for an excellent indoor cover.
