    Ken - I would ask them what kind of fabric they use. Most of the "better" covers use a Kimberly-Clarke material of some kind. Look at California Car Cover for their types of fabric.

    What are you looking to do with the cover ?? Outdoor storage or indoor dust protection ??

    One thing I'll say is that I used the BEST Cali.Car Cover had to offer when my GS was down and outside for 2 years.....it ruined all the potmetal and chrome as it DOES get wet under there no mater what they say.....and then it traps the moisture in until it dries.

    Now, with fresh paint and indoor storage, I usually dont use the cover unless the car is CLEAN. Even after just a day outside after a wash, its got dirt and dust on it and putting a cover on then will only scratch the paint.

    I usually leave it uncovered inside and then give it a good hosing down lightly using just my hand to remove anything present. With a good coat of wax, this is all that is needed.

    I dry it afterwards first with a Blade - a squeegee like thing - and then a few soft towels.

    Yeah, I guess "3 Layers of Premium Quality Fabric" could mean anything in somebody's book. :rolleyes:

    I don't have an immediate use, I was just curious because it looked like such a reasonable price.

    Interestingly, Larry Miller in the Carolina's chapter uses that ultralight clear plastic to cover his cars indoors, it's the same plastic they use at the dry cleaners. I know plastic doesn't breathe but it is so light and barely touches the cars, as long as it's dry in there, I think it's a great idea. His cars are proof of that anyways I guess.
