Default car cover suggestions?

I'm looking for a decent cover for my car in the garage. I don't need one for outside. Let me know your opinions on brands, fitment and what to look for in a cover. Thanks

I think the stretch satin/nylon with a flannel lining are the best. Nice tight fit, pockets for the mirrors, a little cushion if you bump it, nice material touching your paint, and they shake off easily (dirt-dust). Lots of the vendors have them, look for a good deal.

I bought a cloth cover at WalMart for $23 that fits well, good for in the garage, and may work fine for those times you want to keep the sun and dirt off it.

I use the satin stretch on my car and we also sell a bunch of these to customers as well

I went with the covercraft form fit, I love it, has some ding proof, and fits/looks mint, you get what you pay for a cover, stores great as well. a great choice I think.

I bought one from West Coast Corvettes about three years ago - called Intro-Guard and it has worked well keeping the dust off my car when it is sitting in the garage.

Here's a link to the product and it's on sale. I do believe it is made by CoverKing.
