Car Cover recommendation for Indoor usage - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I just read through the winter prep sticky and it mentioned a "Cover car with a NOAH or similar breathable car cover"

Do you guys have a preferred brand or preferred vendor to get them from?

My situation is more of my wife is expecting and I ultimately want to keep the car from getting manhandled by the future little one when the car is garaged, lol. I have a small attached two car garage and there is not much room to walk between the two parked cars. The car is a weekend car and will be parked for most of the winter unless weekends are decent.

Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Car covers are a double edged sword. You will guarantee yourself swirls from the cover touching the clear coat. On the other hand, if you have a careless (no offense) wife and an unpredictable child you will avoid more accidents with a cover.

Covercraft with the felt inner lining. As said, car must be absolutely clean or you will scratch the clear. Also, there is a right way and wrong way to put on and remove. Be careful.

Thank you for the help. May not go with the cover. The car is usually clean but not that clean.

yea... if its not totally (and I mean absolutely void of any dust) clean then a cover is gonna put more damage in than its going to prevent.

IMHO a cover is great if you plan to store long term over the winter and it won't be pulled off until spring, then you can clean the car, immediately put the cover on it, and leave it alone till spring.

But if you still need to use your car or will take the cover on/off frequently you're better off saving your money, unfortunately.

It almost sounds like covers are, unless you're going for long storage aren't worth it. Would a cover be worth using if you have a cat that likes sleeping on top of cars?
