I don't park outside daily, but I do sometimes and when I do I use a Covercraft evolution 4 cover. It's held up to all weather conditions, and I am very pleased with the quality.

This should help you choose.

Is the one that you have on that list? I dont see it listed. I am thinking the weathershield non HD since it can washed at home. I am not worried about door dings at just protecting my S from the elements.

I have the Evolution, it's in the middle. Do what works for you. I usually cover my car even in the garage so the cats can sleep on it. I also have tools hanging up next to my car (shovels, rakes, etc.) and they have fallen on my car, and if it werent for the cover I'm sure I would have little dings here and there.

I have the Weathershield. It still folds up to a compact size so I can toss it in the trunk. It repels water very well, and I only get minor leakage along the seams.

Avoid the Budge car covers that Wal-Mart sells. I bought one of their "Premier" car covers made of DuPont tyvek and it leaves surface scratches on my car (probably from the elastic seams). I'll be buying a polishing kit later on though so it won't be that big of a deal for me when it comes to removing them.

I was watching "Build or Bust" last night and "Kickstart John" was ordering a cover fron "California Covers" because as he said, "they're the best".

Don't know how true this is. Just thought I'd pass along this info.
