Default Best outdoor car cover for a tree-lined street

Hi. I need a recommendation for a car cover for my C7 while it sits in my driveway. I'm on a tree lined street and I'm tired of battling the daily crud that accumulates. I used not not mind rinsing off my car almost every day. Now... I do.

Just bought an ultra cover from west coast corvettes. I use it my garage but it's outdoor rated. It's a nice cover. 2nd one I've owned.

Have had a Covercraft Noah cover from my C6 that I'm still using with the C7. Needed it when I got the C6 because I didn't have a garage at the time.

Yes, works well for tree leaves/droppings but also worked very well for inclement weather. The pics below were over a 24hr period...

I use this cover for inside & outside.Durable( so far in 2 yrs) and the silver reflects the sun well.Keeps dust & sap off too.

The zipper door is a good feature.

I pulled the trigger on the Mammo motorworks one. The zipper got me. Also, here in los angeles the only snow I see is at the snowcone place.

LOL!

Just illustrating that the Covercraft option proved it's worth, even in challenging environments! Only has to stave off light dust (and pollen in the spring) now but does it well!

Update: Overnight rain got through the Silvertech cover I got from MAMO motorworks so I can say the claim for this product is completely overstated (you know... not true) :

".. This cover is designed to repel water in extremely wet or snowy climates and the air ventilation system prevents moisture from building up and causing mildew."

On the bright side I had some filtered water with which to clean off of my C7 this morning. Looks like I'll have to go with a cover craft or another 'known product' like I should have at first.
