Covercraft Weathershield. Very nice cover for those of us without garages.

i use the honda cover (have 2)- it is more of a dust cover, and i use it in the garage since thats where my car usually is (it works great for keeping dings off of the doors too as it is fairly thick and soft).
i would not recommend it for your needs though. you need a cover that is water-proof i would think.

The "Weather Shield" custom cover shield is what I went with. Ordered online through properautocare.com. Took approx two weeks for them to get it to Hawaii, worth the wait. Cost: approx. $250 dollars. Very easy to put on/take off. Probably less than a minute to either. It is very light weight, good breathing. I put it on to protect my car from the freakin cats that like to climb on it. Not sure if I would go with this cover if I lived in a harsher climate. I'd probably go with something more heavy duty if I still lived in New York. good luck choosing!

I have the weathershield and I have found it most difficult keeping it waterproof. In fact, I've gotten so fed up with it that I stopped using it. So, I guess I'm disappointed. You got to keep them really clean for them to work right, and you can't wash it at home. And, that's according to the company itself. They changed the washing instructions.

I have a Custom Weathershield car cover. Purchased it from Blueribbon motoring. Cost about $190.00. It works great. I do not have a garage but do have covered parking. I never drive when it is wet. My car is black and I use Zaino for the polish. The cover works great. It always looks like it has just been polished. It is almost waterproof. I do have an annoying problem around the seams of the cover. Humidity and water sometimes make its way through and you can see where the elastic seam has been. It cleans up easy but is still annoying. I wash mine at home with no problems. Overall, I would give it 9 out of a possible 10 points.
