My Ride: 11 550i Sophisto Gray/Oyster Black/Anthracite, Sprt Trns, DHP, IAS, SP, PP1, PP2, CWP, HUD, DAP, AVSP, SF RS, CA, ACC - Euro Del
My Frank Lloyd Wright house is being restored so I am without a garage for the time being, 7 months +/-. I am thinking about getting a car cover to protect my 550 when it is stored outside my house overnight. Does anyone have any suggestions on a car cover? Thanks.

Let's see the house!
I don't have any real experiences with outdoor covers but I found this page (which features the NOAH as well as others...)

I have a Bavarian Auto cover. I use it inside (e.g. airport garage) only. The one time I used it outdoors, the wind buffetted it and left a few very light swirl-esq marks on the fenders. I of course polished them out immediately. Black is tough color and I'm compulsive. You may be better off to keep the car waxed and wash it weekly till the construction is complete.
Where are you in Chicago - Oak Park? Lots of F.L.W. works there. I used to live in the West Loop.
