Default recommendations on an indoor car cover?

Just completed a two-step paint correction on my 997. Looking for recommendations on an indoor cover to maintain the finish.

Thx,

I went with this one as I intend to keep the car a long time and with a 3 yr old son - it's only a question of time before he does something silly like lean a bike up against it.

I don't want anything to happen to the car and I don't want to be mad at my son. The video rings true with what I envision.

Just use a couple old king size sheets. Much faster and cheaper and easy to clean. I have a Porsche soft cover with logo too. It stays in a trash bag for storage.

The Porsche indoor cover is a good one.

Default Carnewal.com Highly recommend

I highly recommend going to www.carnewal.com, Gert will help you. I have purchased two indoor car covers from Gert. One for a 987 Boxster and for my 997.2 Cab, both are made by the same Italian company which makes the OEM covers for Porsche. This is a Belgian website, products are excellent and the customer service is top notice. Product comes with a carrying case, which I keep in my frunk and arrives in 3 days FedEx from Europe. I could not be happier.

Go look at the Carnewal group buy in the 964 Forum.

I have a Coverzone Voyager. Technically it's called an indoor-outdoor. My experience with indoor covers is they have let a lot of dust through, and then when you remove the cover it swirls the dust over the finish like dry-wiping. And my experience with outdoor covers is they hold condensation against the paint. My experience with indoor-outdoors is they let in less dust and allow more moisture out. None of them will prevent dents or deep scratches if something heavy and/or sharp is dropped or knocked onto the car. Tbh I don't keep mine covered in the garage, I rather just give it a wash or a hit with waterless wash or detail spray. But I don't have any kids rampaging in the garage.

It's on the front page, the 4th post.

Looks like $260-ish.
