Yes I would cover it. As long as you dust it off/clean it off before using.

For indoors the brushed cotton is the best value

We also have a sale on another indoor cover (stretch satin) and an outdoor cover

I just received my Covercraft Form-Fit indoor only custom car cover. It is silky smooth with the softest inner material to protect your finish. Mine is Red to match my Torch Red coupe. They have 6 different colors including Black. The Form-Fit is an indoor cover only and it is awesome. Weighs over 10 lbs as well.

I find that a cover will do more harm than good. Black cars are a dust magnet anyway and you will not keep the dust off of it. When you take this cover on and off you will in a sense be forever lightly grinding that dust on your paint. Not to mention that the cover gets dusty and dirty just laying around. Get yourself a Califonia duster and enjoy your car.

I forgot to mention that if you do pick an indoor cover, look for one that is machine washable. That is what I looked for when I bought the Form-Fit.
