Default C6 cover

Can anyone recommend an easy to use ( on and off everyday) cover ?
Its in breezeway but still dust and dirt from the air.

Thanks

Dust and dirt will still get on the car and unless to really clean it before you install the cover, you'll just be sanding your paint.

RIGHT JROSE...I had a breathable 8 layer car cover and it still got dusty underneath it. SO a car cover in the end will not keep dust off your beautiful ride.

I'm in the market too for a cover of some kind. I'm forced to park next to the wife in the garage and with all the back and forth between cars, I'm looking for a recommendation on a cover that would do a nice job helping to reduce nicks or scratches as people bump into the car in the garage. Any suggestions on that front?

Still for some of us less fortunate, is either play with the cover and dust off the car or wash the car constantly. I've had some success with covers before, a lot easier to deal with discriminating birds and their bowel movements, pollen attack and rain.

We ordered this one last year for $165. It's thick, nice "flannel" underside. Beads incidental water a bit, and has the mirror pockets - a really nice feature. Our GS is kept in a carport so dust is my biggest issue. Never had it the rain. Fit is very good, plenty big, with good elastic at both ends. Wind straps aren't needed in my application so I cut them off. I see no issues with paint finish scratches or marks. Good luck!
