Default Car covers

We recently bought a 2012 Black Cayman. We would like to get a cover for it when it’s in the garage between drives to keep the dust off it. Thought you guys would know first hand what kind would work and not scratch the paint.

The car covers that we sell are made by the same company makes covers for Porsche AG,
Whereas the Porsche Tequipment covers are only available in white/beige, we can supply the very same cover in a lot more colors .
All these car covers are tailor made, have a Porsche crest on the hood, mirror pockets and come in a storage bag.

I went with a Coverking satin stretch fitted cover. Inner liner is soft fleece. Fits the car incredibly well. Not sure how cost compares to other brands, but I'm not disappointed in the money spent. Sometimes I wish I had something with a Porsche logo on it, but other times I'm happy not to be advertising to the neighbors any time the garage door goes up. I know what the car is. I don't need a reminder.

Never cover a dirty car.

Carnewal's product is awesome.

I always wash it before we put it away,but it’s surprising how much dust gets on it after a week in an otherwise quite clean garage. Thanks for the suggestions.

Covercraft dust top. https://www.covercraft.com/us/en/pro...ORID=TS%7CCCDP

Great indoor cover, been using them for years during winter storage. Car is clean in the spring.

Might I suggest a California duster. Cheaper and less cumbersome than a cover.

Default CoverCraft

I’ve always had good luck with CoverCraft Form fit covers super lush, right fitting and well made. My question is does anyone have one for a GT4? Do they fit around the rear wing?

So, I guess I’m a heretic for using an old parachute to cover my car, eh? It’s worked well for me for years.
