Default Car cover suggestions?

Just bought my first Lexus - 2009 ES 350. I'm loving it, but I have to park it outside. I'm thinking of using a car cover, but a google search turned up hundreds of options from Wal-Mart versions less than $50.00 to custom versions over $500.

Does anyone have any reccomendations for a good car cover for use outdoors?

Thanks!

Get the car into a garage if possible. Rent a neighbors garage if you don't have one.

If you have to park outside, then get a custom fit car cover with a good warranty. Make sure to get your windows tinted the max allowed by law and always place a sun shade in the front window when parked. Keep up detailing the exterior, otherwise the sun will win and destroy your car.

I would not look at any Wal-Mart or auto-parts stores. A good car cover is the Noah car cover. It's excellent for very wet environments and provides good protection against UV rays. The average price is around $200.00

Here is a link:

Try California Car Covers. I have used them for a number of cars to include my ES. My wife's G35 and my '70 BOSS 302 share the garage space. The cover will be custom fit for you ES. Like LexPaul I like the Noah material, but take a look at their selection, decide what suites your needs and how much you want to spend.
