I wouldnt even cover it. If you have access to a garage just wash it every couple weeks. The bad thing with cover is they tend to flop from the wind and can scratch if any dirt or moister gets under there. If the cover has like a fleece or microfiber it may not be so bad.

What are the differaces? does one have a better softer inside. If not, no need to spend more money. Also have you looked for a storge unit. There are some around my place concrete floor no lighting no heat for about 30-40 a month 4 months 160.00. be better than a cover. just a thought.

Probably worth it, if you value your paint.

Any car cover will probably scratch your paint far less than snow and ice sliding off of your bare car.

Mine is garaged. I never looked into car covers though, the above post might be a good one. Get a cover that is friendly to the paint, doesn't let water through and has some type of guarantee (like "THE LOCK") for if the cover does damage your paint due to manufacturer's defect, that they cover it.

I thought the post about the saranwrap was BS, did some digging and alot of the antique cars guys do this before they put on the cover. I may do this.

Saranwrap is the best option I heard in this thread.
