Default Car cover question

What car cover do you use on your car? I have been told that the flannel covers are the best, especially with a black car.

My wife got me one for Christmas. She said she did research on what type to get,but it is not flannel. The brand escapes me now,but she paid $300 for it.I will wait till winter to use it,as I don't want to take it on and off all the time. During the spring and summer,I use soft blankets.

Our garage is very old and damp. I would like a cover that at least keeps off the dust and keeps down on scratching.

Get a heavier indoor, outdoor cover, it won't keep all of the dirt off of it though.

The cover I have is a waffle like material. Came with the car, has an NPD logo on the front of it. Pretty soft on the inside but it breathes so it won't trap moisture. Can be used indoors or outdoors. I don't cover mine in the summer, our garage stays dry, even in the winter.

I was thinking about one of the flannel lined covers.

If your garage is damp make sure you get a cover that breathes. You don't want anything that will trap moisture, unless of course you happen to like rust.

Not yet. The ones we looked at were not for me. I thought the flannel was too thin, the the outer material seemed more like canvas, and would not breath well. The hunts still on.
