Default Car Covers

Anyone have any recommendations for a decent car cover for a sedan the size of a GS. I have read so many mixed reviews and there are so many off brand ones. I want one that will not scratch my finish when I put it on and take it off and will last at least a few years, protect against UV damage, possible small/medium hail but one that is reasonably priced.

I've had one of these for about 8 years it has served me extremely well. The mirror pockets are starting to rip a bit but overall the cover is still fine. Don't expect any cover to protect you from hail.

Thanks, that is more then I want to spend, plan on spending a decent amount of mods already. Does it do a good job of not scratching your finish?

The cover never scratches.

I bought a car cover from a reputable site. It is nice to have one if you really can clean and maintain your car. If your car is dirty forget it! It is not recommended to put a car cover on a dirty car. From my experience, if your car cover is in a windy spot, the cover moves and causes micro scratches underneath the car cover. Also, the pain to appropriately unfold and fold your car cover like origami! That is the most tedious work. Also, if you drag or pull the car cover off your vehicle, more micro scratches! I don't know if a satin car cover is even worth it also! Good luck.
