I put a Wolf on mine for inside the garage. Just like flannel, only better. The other day the roof had small leak, found a puddle next to the C5, the water bounced right off. Must have some scotch guard on it.

Any inexpensive car covers will keep the garage dust off the car but one of the thicker woven covers will protect the car from minor dings and scratches caused by bicycles and other detritus stored along with the car.

I also have a Wolf.. Had the vette out side one day after I washed and covered it up.. light rain came along I thought now I have to dry it all over again not a drop of water on the car... If it rained long and hard enought it would have been wet but I think they are real good.. I now have 4 Wolf covers..

I've had several California Car Covers for several of my cars over the past 15 years and I've been very happy with all of them. You can go on-line or get their catalog and pick the cover material that best works for you. Good luck, Ron
