I don't know any but I do know I would never use a car cover outside. The thought of a cover sliding across my paint with little
Grits of sand and dirt being ground in by the wind moving the cover around makes me cringe.

No that I have stated my fear.... I have never actually used one and witnessed such an event.

LOOOOOL that's funny. I wouldn't use on either. I'd keep it in the shade if possible but not use a car cover

I feel you brother, but I do need it to protect the paint from water markes. The rain water ssits on the vehicle for days. Also, to protect from the infamouse bird crap I'm trying to avoid. They do make car covers with fleece interior lining tho to prevent from scratching. To me the good out weighs the bad, so imma get one. Thanks tho!

very simple, keep your car waxed! Bird poo or rain is not going to hurt your car's paint. However if the cover is not breathable it will.

I dont use the car everyday so I do need to cover it down in the week, for when it's not being driven. I already have water marks from rain drying on it. I did make sure my new cover is breathable tho!

Try California Car Cover. I need one as well, since my car sits in parking lots for days at a time.
