Default Car Cover

Anybody have any info on what is the best car cover, the car is inside in a heated garage, I just need something to keep the dust off. It is a vert so I wondered if the flannel lined would leave a lot of lint on the top. Thanks

I have a Wolf cover that I seldom use but I've never noticed any material left behind when removed. Mine's a coupe though.

I have 3 cats that come and go through the garage so I use this one:

A dust cover is fine if no Kids or Cats.

I use a Wolf cover on my C5 coupe and used one on my C4 convertible with no problems with lint.

CALIFORNIA CAR COVER COMPANY has a good website with all of the types of covers they offer. The site does a good job of explaining what type of cover might suit you.
I chose a "Superweave" from CCCC. My car is also stored inside a heated shop during hibernation. I wanted a colored cover, lightweight and something that could be washed in a home washer/dryer. This product fit those requirements. It can be folded small enough to fit into a side cubby hole in the trunk. It's a new fabric material, kind of space age technology, that is soft to the paint finish and doesn't allow dust to penetrate the pores.
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...p080807005.jpg

Now available in 8 new colors. Choose from black, bright blue, sky blue, green, grey, red, taupe and yellow. You can also mix-and-match any two fabric colors to customize your cover, with the top panel in one color and the side panels in the second color. Superweave features a variety of benefits, including unsurpassed moisture and pollutant/dust protection. Additionally, it's exceptionally breathable, allowing moisture and heat to escape. Considered to be one of our top-of-the-line car cover fabrics. It is the only material that can be washed and dried in your home machines. It features a limited four-year warranty.
