Default Car Cover...?

Hello,

I am a new member here on this forum. And had a couple questions on the new Z06 that my Dad & I just got. Although right now I am just wondering
what do you guys out there use as a quality car cover? I know typically people like to stick with OEM, but I called my local dealer, and it cost $302.00 for a car cover, and I have a feeling I can get a better quality one than it, for less money.

The Z06 is mostly my dads, I work on my own car (3000gt) incase you guys want to see some pics of it you can go to my site at http://www.alltel.net/~tjones2309

Thanks for your help!

~Dan

I pruchased the sealed seam GM cover which is what I believe you are looking at. It LEAKED badly, I returned it and bought a NOAH.

I'd say don't buy any covers if your car painted dark.
I've used two covers - noah and wolf on my 99. After about a month of using I found lots of fine clearcoat scratches caused by them. It would be much more visible on a black or red car.

So now I just wax and don't worry about it - four months and no scratches yet.

I've got Wolf covers for my Coupe and for the Z06. :cheers:
Just make sure your car is clean BEFORE you put the cover on (California Duster, etc....). :thumbs:
