Default Indoor Car Cover Recommendations

Looking for an indoor car cover with a decent amount of UV protection. Our garage door is open a lot in the warmer months and my '68 will see a fair amount of afternoon sun when said door is up.

Should I simply get the Covercraft/Porsche Silverguard, or is there a different make/model to consider?

Porsche's are just fine. If you want a cool color choice with the Porsche crest, look into Gert's at Carnewal. Not cheap, but very nice.

Problem with car covers (especially if the garage door is open) is the dirt that can accumulate between the cover and the paint. The open door allows air to move the cover around, even if just slightly. I've heard that some shops use lay very thin plastic drop cloths over the car before using a car cover. The plastic is cheap, disposable, and acts as slip surface for the cover. Without the plastic layer, dirt between the cover and paint will cause micro scratches (or worse).
