Default Car Cover HELP!

I just got my '06 monty coupe 6 days ago and the cover I was using on my '05 ms coupe is scratching my monty. It has a inner soft liner but it fits real tight. I have never put it on the car without making sure the car was clean, but I think its just too tight.

Can someone recommend a good quality cover?

Default indoor use only

This cover is made by coverking and is sold by many places including forum vendors and GM






also get wheel covers from CalCoverKing to protect the cover from picking up dirt and pebles from the tires

I bought the Cover King satin cover shown, and I love it. Super soft inside, and still shows the lines of the car when cover. I found it on line after alot of hunting for around $185. without C6 emblems. I bought those off Ebay for $3 each.

I just bought a Wolf Coverguard 3--supposedly 3 layers, although they must be .0000000000001" thick each Fits well, and is indoor/outdoor. However, I only want it for the garage during the (this winter anyway) long periods I don't drive it. Q-Detailed the car thoroughly before putting it on, so no dirt/dust to scratch. Will see how it goes on my black coupe. Only $1 bill, free shipping from Corvette Central. Not all that pleased with how the underside feels, but will see about scratches. If it does, I will be .

Since I've been a vette owner I've owned 2 covers, both of which now reside @ the dump. Not only did they leave scratches, but also left a scum haze on the windows/paint which I suppose was trapped moisture due to poor breatheability. My car is garaged and now I only cover the conv top (to protect from dust) and use a California duster. It will take a lot of convincing for me to invest $200 in a cover.

I purchased Coverkings indoor and outdoor covers and am satisfied with both. Check out their line at www.coverking.com
