Daily use car cover?
I don't have access to a garage at the moment. Can anyone recommend a good car cover (sun, dust, weather, and scratch proof) that doesn't cost $200?

I personally feel that a car cover for daily use isn't the best idea. In my oppinion it is recommend to not place a car cover on until the car is warm and really has nothing on the paint. So like when it has just been dusted or washed.

Car cover and daily use doesn't go together. Car covers really are for storage purposes only. Daily use of a car cover will end up causing more damage to your car and to the paint then it will prevent. |

Covercraft...They usually have sales when you order direct. Been using them for years...never a scratch, good protection even in Phoenix. My last was $174 for the Camaro. I use it every day in the summer.

I only put mine on when there is inclement winter weather, and I always make sure to run it through the local (touchless) car wash before I cover it the night before. |

Its more like daily car scratcher. Keep it waxed and get a sun shade for the windshield.

You guys must be using cheap covers or putting them on dirty cars.
