What is the best car cover or combination of covers to protect my car?

I am buying a new S2000 that will be a fall/spring/summer car, but I don't have a garage to keep it in. Odds are the cover will be on pretty much all the time during the week and all winter.

So what is the best way to protect the car? I know some covers can induce micro marring, but the softer covers generally aren't good for rain/snow protection.

Help!?

 

Id like to know as well also

but from what Ive read, all car covers will induce micromarring if there is dirt on the car, its just others are better insulated and lined? correct me if iam wrong.

 

oh yea since it seems that your car will be an outdoor/covered car in the winter you need to definitely use collinite 476s or collinite 845IW. Its some TOUGH stuff!!

 

Plastic cover over oem cover

Let me just add....
To minimize scratching your finish purchase a "california duster' or similar and remove any surface dust and use detail spray before putting the covers back on.

Purchase the best breathable cover with a soft inner nap you can and keep it as clean as you can between uses.

 

Most excellent!

 

Indeed. Shake out the cover, often. And wash it in Woolite or some other very gentle cleaner as often as you feel it to be necessary.

 

So you are using a OEM car cover under the plastic one? What brand is that plastic one, and where did you happen to get it?

 

Google car covers and you will see your options. I would avoid plastic, they tend to dry rot and leak at any seams. Buy the best quality waterproof cover you can and make sure it has grommets at the door sills to secure it.

Remember this will be your S's sole source of protection so don't cheat yourself or your car.
