Default Who loves their car cover?

I'm in the market for a good car cover. I've got a cheap one now and right after I wash/wax the car and cover it, it gets very dusty. I've washed it and the same thing happens.

Anybody love their cover and does it keep the dust off while not letting it get humid in there?

I have a Coverking Satin Stretch cover and I like it a lot. It does a good job of keeping it dust free in the garage

get a california duster and leave the cover off. such a pita. and if you don't wash the car and wheels etc each time before you recover it? it's doing more harm than good. even when it sits. i've gone through cover no cover and the only way i would go back would be storage long term out of the garage.

While I don't disagree with your post, don't think the California duster wont cause micro-abrasions or spidering on your paint. Proceed with caution, but if you're not bothered by these types of things then dust away.

The indoor California Car Cover has been keeping my 2015 C7 clean and dust free for almost three years now. No issues at all.

I love my Coverking form fit. Well worth the money.


FYI, it's an indoor only cover.

My car is black and while i did use it on my 13 gs, I think I'll pass on this one. It got pretty dull after awhile.

I'm with Z06. If I have to look at it for 5 months out of the year I might as well smile . . .

I went with Satin Stretch for a indoor cover. Fits and looks great. I had the same brand cover for my 04 and after 8 years still looked great. Just wanted new one for 17 GS. I got mine on Ebay.

These are amazing, but last I checked were north of $700 (at least in Canada) which is pretty steep. They sure do look good though.

I like the GM OEM covers, fit like a glove, super soft non-dust lining and come with a 'corvette' embroidered bag for when not in use.

I love the factory cover with the little stingrays all over it. It has a great look and feel and is easy to use. Highly recommend!
