Default Recommendation for Indoor Car Cover

I need to buy an indoor car cover for my recently acquired 95 993. Any recommendations? Thanks, Gary

I'm very happy with my Coverking Stretch Satin custom car cover. Ultra soft and top quality. I got mine from AutoAnything. They have offers such as free shipping and discounts for 1st orders.

I'd also look at the indoor car cover from Carnewal.

Edited to add: I do not use my indoor car cover unless my car has been washed and dried. Anyone picky about their paint won't put a car cover on over dirty/dusty paint. I use my cover during winter storage and the odd time during the summer.

I have the same need but would like to buy a none fitted cover. Just a cover that can be draped over the car. Any vendors supply just a quality rectangular non scratching material?

I've had a hard time finding a nice, loose, draping, non-fitted cover

But for a form fitting indoor cover, the Porsche cover is great. It's like lingerie for your car
There is a specific cover for each 993 variation

I don't know about the indoor cover but I have the outdoor Porsche silver something cover and it is well made.

Cant go wrong with the soft indoor covers from Gert which are made in Italy but are a little expensive. I've had mine for 8 years with no issues even when you wash them. The factory Porsche European covers are made by the same suppliers Andrea but only come in one colour where Gert can order a few different colours.

I also have the fitted one from Gert, and I love it. Had I been more 993-shaped I would have considered draping myself in it coming out of the shower in the morning. It is really a great fit, and the material is sturdy and of good quality, and I feel the inside cover protects the paint and the car. Highly recommended.

+1 I have always used them and they seem reasonable and very well made. I like their 'plushweave' fabric. They also make a totally dustproof fabric that is not all cotton but is the ultimate inside cover protection. My only gripe is they charge $5.00 to delete their large annoying graphics on the front. Instead I have them embroider the car model on the nose so you can easily see which end is front.

Covercraft, formfit, satin black.. love it, it's super stretchy, super soft inside, and easy to put on and off by yourself. I like how it goes all the way to the ground too.

As long as it doesn't pick up any dust or dirt if it makes contact with the ground.

Never measured it, but my Coverking stretch satin is about 4 or 6 inches off the ground, but low enough to completely cover the car.
