Good quality car cover?

I have read many pros and cons about car covers. We travel a lot and kept our Toyota Highlander for the longer stays in airport/hotel parking lots. A couple of places that we leave our cars for shorter periods are covered but not completely enclosed. The dreaded "bird poop on the paint" ![banghead](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/banghead.gif)
Does anyone have an idea regarding a car cover that won't damage the finish on the car?

There are only a couple of quality cover manufacturers who put several different names (including Porsche) on them. However, my .02 is just that, it is a car with car paint and bird poop won't matter that much. Don't park under trees or bird nests. Covering a car, to me, in a public parking lot is an invitation to mooks to look underneath and see that the fuss is about. Parking something else in long-term parking lots.

Yeah, probably not a great idea to cover a car in a public lot. Too tempting.
I did buy a car cover off of eBay a few months back for the truck. I think it was about $80 delivered. It's not a custom tailored job, but it fits well, doesn't blow off and keeps the truck clean.
Before the cover goes on, the truck gets a wipe down with a detailing spray so there's no crap on it to grind away on the paint. Protects against the neighborhood cat too so that's a bonus.
