Default Car covers?

Hey guys just wondering if any of you have any experience with car covers. It will be for my S which is parked in the garage most of the time. Its not an enclosed garage so the car still sees some rain and a lot of dust. Any suggestions for a cover? TIA

i have the covercraft weathershield and have been pretty happy with it. it repels water and dust nicely. its also lightweight and rolls up easily to toss in the trunk. the only downside is it'll blow off if its pretty windy.

I have the same cover and works very well. As for the windy days, I have a few short bungee cords that hooks on the bottom sides and punch a hole to use one for the front. As windy as it may get, I still haven't had the cover fly off yet. Another thing that I do is put a couple of M/F towels above the sidemarkers to prevent scratching.

Yeah, it's a great outdoor cover. The only thing that I'm not too happy with is that water will get through the stitching. But since you're in a covered parking, you won't have to worry about that.

Well my car is in a garage but two sides are open. It gets some rain when its windy(like today). Its mostly the dust that is bad here. With the bus goin by hourly it kicks up a lot of the road dust and my car gets a nice brown layer after a week or so. Did you buy your cover locally?
