Default Car cover opinions wanted

Hey guys..

Can I get some opinions on a good car cover? I'm not concerned with 'cheap' or whatever.. I want what will protect my car the best, not scratch the paint underneath, and will last longer than the 1st time it rains.

I use a Wolf cover that is durable, gentle, and fits beautifully. ($99).

I have an Evolution 4 and am ordering another for my other car. The reason I like this material is that it is thick and affords "bump" protection in my garage where many other power toys reside.

I also have the Wolf car cover and am very happy with it. It's made of the Noah material. I've used it for about 6 months with no scratches. I also had a Noah cover for my previous car for over a year and it held up great, and didn't hurt the paint at all.

I second that :smash: Go with the Noah material. I did a lot of research before I bought my Wolf Noah.... :p:

Wolf cover is excellent. Fits like a glove and is easy on the paint. Keeps the interior cool in the summer too.

My Noah cover only lasted 2 years outside. I now have a Weathershield cover. It is lighter and much easier to handle. After now having it a year, it still looks and repels water like new. :chevy

I've used my Weathershield cover every day since I bought my car six months ago, and it is still like new. Even after a heavy rain, the water sheets off, and the car is dry underneath. It folds up into a very compact size, and you can wash and dry it in a home machine. The Weathershield is more expensive than the other covers, but is worth it, in my opinion.

The WOLF works good for me too!
Inside the garage (for cat protection) or in the parking lot (for birds, car doors, etc...). :cheers:
