I HAVE PLUSH WEAVE ON EVERYTHING IN THE GARAGE. THEY ALL CAME FROM CALIFORNIA CAR COVERS. THEY FIT GREAT. CALIFORNIA SEEMS TO HAVE THEIR PATTERNS PERFECT. THEY FIT LIKE A GLOVE. MY GARAGE DOESN'T GET DUSTY SO THE PLUSH WEAVE WORKS OUT GOOD. IF IT WAS IN A DUSTY AREA, YOU WOULD PROBABLY WANT DUST STOP OR SOMETHING THAT SEALS BETTER.

know its ripped and i need to tight knots to cover up the big holes...since it gets caught in the rain rails...antenna, etc....

my car has to stay outside parked on the curb because we don't have a garage..Does anyone recommend a cover that can be used outside all winter long up here in the rust belt?? I live just outside of Washington DC and the salt and sand they put down here cuts threw steel like a hot knife threw butter..Not that I drive my wagon during the winter but when the trucks come by to spray it, it comes out strong enough to remove paint :evil: .Its for my wagon so it would probably have to be a little bigger than the average G-body cover.
I had to store my car during the season (late Spring, Summer & early fall) 2 years ago as I did not have a garage. I made sure to store the car on concrete surface and coveredred it with a Wolf car cover I purchased through Summit. It worked great, however I did notice that the cover did wear out pretty quickly. I still have it however I dont use it at all as I have since built a garage that is bone dry.
In my experience, if you are storing the car indoors, in an inactive area, the finish of the car is better maintained by not having anything on the paint or rubbing against the paint unless its being lubricated by water, wax or spray detailer. Despite all the greatest claims of covers, "scratch resistant" "safe for your finish", eventually something will get stuck in the fibers of the cover and scratch the finish. So you end up paying upwards of $200 in some cases for a great car cover that, in my experience, will eventually cause you to regret ever throwing that thing on your car and that sucks.
In my opinion, if you are storing outside, for any length of time, better to have the cover than nothing at all. If you're storing the car inside, I would say forget the cover, clean the car, prep the paint, wax it up with a good sealer like Collinite or even Dodo Juice then hunker down and dream of the warmer weather.

Not a big fan of car covers, if its windy where you live the cover tends to wear the paint, especially at the corners
of your car. But its better then nothing. A breathable cover is better, you get what you pay for with a car cover.
I just bought a shelter from sams club, it was about $450 and its nice (UV protection, etc.) Heres a shot of it in
place before the cover went on. I'll be adding lights in, ones for work and 1 or 2 on a timer to keep the moisture
out of it.
