Default Solid outdoor car cover.

What do you folks recommend for a solidly built outdoor car cover? I've used pieces from California Car Covers before and had good luck...But I haven't needed any outdoor rated ones before. Anyone have any good suggestions? Until my garage is cleaned out and my new car port built my baby is having to sit outside. I have a storage building for it but it's 30 miles away and I've started daily driving it...Can't stand not to. Any suggestions?

I use the California Car Covers Ultraweave cover. Very durable, and home washer and dryer friendly. I have had 4 of them for various cars and wouldn't buy anything else. Water beads and doesn't go through, nor does anything else.

I bought a gently used GM outdoor cover from a member on this site. I like it very well. I've seen used ones offered in the $160 to $200 range. New, they are over $300. They come in black with a grey stingray logo or grey with a black stingray logo.

I also owned an outdoor California Car Cover for my Pontiac G8 GT and it was a great cover as well.

There are definitely some good options out there to pick from.

I've reviewed some car covers before and the OxGord Executive performed very well outdoors, might be a good option for you.

Here's the review:
