Default Indoor Cover Recommendation please?

Car get's dusty in my garage during the week. Can someone recommend a cheap indoor cover? I really don't need the features, weight or expense of an outdoor cover. I din't mind a quick rinse and dry during the week but now that it's getting cooler I was thinking of throwing a cover on. It won't be in the wind so form fitting is not so important. Thanks guys.

Let the car get dusty. Why risk scratching the car everytime you put the cover on and off?

I've never used one, but instead of a cover, sounds like you want a 'duster'?



Myself, if its only dust, about 5 minutes with some QD and a few MF towels and I'm ready to roll.

I have the Coverking Satin Stretch Car Cover for my 356 and really like it. It keeps the car absolutely dust free, but, as mentioned, it does cause some swirls (spiderwebbing) in the paint. However, my experience is that I would get more swirls without the protection of a cover.

Recommend a slick one so that it doesn't leave lint on your cabriolet top. That's what I use.

uh, i use a bed sheet and/or a light blanket. (only when the car is clean to avoid scratches) you guys over think things. why do you need to buy a expensive car cover?

You can use a california duster to take the dust off once a week.
