Default Prefence...cover for your vette

What brand or model car cover do you prefer for your vette. I will be storing my car soon and would like to get a cover soon. The car will be stored in a garage, but I would still like to cover it to keep it from getting scratched and dusty. I would like a cover that is easy to throw in the washing machine when needed but thick enough to resist scratches and is soft enough to not harm the paint (swirls..blk paint). I have been looking at my catologs Ecklers,mid america and corvette central and have not been able to make up my mind.

CALIFORNIA CAR COVER COMPANY...it's dusty in AZ...and the car hibernates during the winter months of snow...
I went with their "Superweave" material because it's very lightweight, easy to fold down into a size small enough to fit into a side cubby hole and comes in colors. The best benefit is the ability to wash and dry it at home instead of paying extra at a laundrymat.

vetsundercover This is the best cover i have ever had. soft, dust proof, and made to fit your model and year. Not cheap but you get what you pay for IMHO.

Saw one at Carlisle this year and they do look like a really nice cover. Form fitting, and made to fit rather than some of the cheap looking covers that bulge and bag. I may have to get one for mine this year

My opinion has always been that if you go to an NCRS event, and all those guys whether it be Top Flight mid-year or a brand new Z06, they all bring their Wolf (Noah) car covers with them. I have seen other covers and they seem to be just as good, but Wolf has been doing this for years and definitely has a knack for what they are doing. I keep plenty of them in stock for all the years and they always sell.

No complaints

I like my Noah but it's not exactly something I'd call easy to throw in the washing machine.

I have the stormguard cover I got from southerncarparts.com (a sponsor). Cover costs a lot but its "everything proof" pretty much. I do not have a garage so this is going to get me through the harsh winters of MD. It breathes well too. Thick, high quality cover.

Great for indoor storage. Keeps the wax job fresh. My favorite part is that it provides a nice soft cover to help prevent any nicks or scratches. The custom fit is top notch. I haven't had to wash it yet, but that might require a trip to the laundrymat.

I've had my California Car Cover for about 7 years and it's held up very well indoors. I'm not sure which one I have. When I called, I told the guy I wanted the thickest one they had to protect it from my wife and kids.
