I need a recommendation for a car cover
I'm moving to an apartment complex where I will have to leave my car in direct sunlight (it's always been garaged or car-ported) and next to possibly careless peeps. What is very good outside cover that will protect me from the weather and the occasional possible ding? Where is the best place to buy?
Thanks in advance!

A friend of mine drives a Z06 Corvette that sits outside in the corporate parking lot every day, and he opted for a Weathershield cover. VERY pricey (I think his was close to $380), but in his opinion, worth every penny.
I detail his car for him every two months, and do not notice any excessive swirling/abrasion caused by the cover. He's very careful putting it on/removing it, and the typical detail I do usually involves two coats of polish plus two coats of LSP.
Not sure, however, that the cover will protect you against door dings. He parks his car about 500 feet from anyone else, so that's not an issue. There used to be things on the market that were magnetic, and would guard against door dings. The problem is that doors on vehicles are different heights, so protecting it that way would be difficult.
My advice is to find an end space (if possible) -- that way you are only exposed on one side.
Here's the link to Weathershield's covers. Good stuff, but like I mentioned, not cheap.

I would recommend the covercraft car cover with NOAH material. Excellent quality and durablity in all weather conditions. I have used an OEM car cover prior to my covercraft cover and they are quite thin in comparsion to the NOAH material. but the OEM does have excellent fitment over all other covers I have tired. The NOAH material is excellent for all weather conditions and the material seems to withstand the 90 degree heat well.
