A good, dust 'proof' car cover doesn't exist. A 'breathable' cover will always allow a little dust get through. My Honda cover is really good at keeping the dust to a minimum. I have a black car so you see every speck.

thx for the recommendation.

does Noah stop 100% of the dust?

untill now i was using nylon cover on top of other simple outdoor cover.

nylon naturally stops all the dust - but it's wasn't a snug fit so some dust/dirt got under it.
and it also deterioates under sun and need to be replaced every ~8 months....

I also used a Noah cover on my Z for 6 years very good quality but if you are keeping the car outside over time it will still let dust/pollen through. Your nylon cover isn't breathable (meaning that it traps moisture between the car and the cover). I have always heard and believed that non-breathable covers are not good for your car unless it is stored inside.

If your car is stored outdoors w/o a garage the next best thing would be something like this. http://www.carcovers4less.com/touchless-car-cover.html weather permitting. no cover is 100% dust'proof' the best thing is dust repellent (wax, detail spray, etc.) elimenate cloth rags and towels, use M/F only it makes a big difference, and wipe the car down with these if possable after every drive,Also the noah cover is easy to hose off on the car and I'm sure you know not to cover a dirty car. Looks like you have the same color as me Have fun

my car is parked outsed but under roof.
so it doesn't see any rain and the weather here is dry.
but quite a lot of dust in the air.

so after washing the car and covering it - after a week of no driving it becomes dusty.
this is irritating

so i thought maybe custom snug fit cpver wiht good dustproof ability will improve this....
