Does anyone have any experience with Cover Up Enterprises and their car covers? Are they any good and do they service the customer well? Any help would be appreciated!

I've had a lot of covers. If you are using it outside there is none better than NOAH.

I bought the Noah cover even for use inside because it's somewhat padded. The kids bump the car occasionally with toy's, etc.. and this cover seems to prevent scratches.

Personally i apply 27 coats of zaino before putting the car away in my hermetically sealled garage then shrink wrap it after adjusting temp and humidity, activating the 12 foot high 50,000 volt barbwire topped fence. I then let the gators out into the moat and activate the searchlights and pitbulls. Then call it a day

I have been very pleased with the Cal Car Cover "Soft Weave".
I have these on my cars and then get moving quilts (Home Depot) and lay them on top of the covers. The underside of the "Soft Weave" is flannel and VERY soft. The added protection from the moving quilts helps protect from the unexpected and also helps keep surface dust off the car cover. This combination helps me relax when the grand kids run through the garage.

Can't beat the Dustop!
Had a Tri-Blk 95 and it stayed dusty. When I bought the 04, I got the Dustop and man what difference.

Are the $30 covers on eBay good enough?

Nope..they're good to cover the car but are rough. I use one to cover my old 84 T/A.

Not bad but I noticed you forgot the reactive M1 abrahm armor is case of stray bullets or lawn mower fragments.
