Default car cover

I am coming home from Afghaistan and picking up my C6. But 3 days later I have to put it in storage. It will be inside storage and will be started every month. I was told to get a car cover, otherwise it will be covered with dust. I will be gone for 6-8 months before coming back. I would like some suggestions for indoor car covers/prices or other options. Thanks

I got mine from California car covers. They have many options to choose from.

First of all Welcome Home. I always have usee a car covers. aside from just dust also offers other protection. Most will do a good job indoors and it therefore depends on how much you want to spend. Many vendors sell them on line. I also park in a garage and have the storm shield two tone which I ordered from WCC http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/ . It also fits well hand looks great. But again there are many many covers out there that are just as good even for less money. Enjoy your Vette.

Use the chart in the middle to pick the one that works best for you personally. We sell alot of Noah's but kinda overkill for inside storage. I really like the stretchy colored ones for inside but kinda $$$

I've had both WeatherShield and Noah covers on my cars. The WeatherSheild is very nice (and my overall favorite) but challenging to use in the Las Vegas winds. The Noah is heavier but not as easy to store.
