Best Exterior Car Cover? recomendations please

so my MINI that will arrive in about a week is destined to sit outside for at least several months if not longer. The two car garage is full and even though this MINI is newer than both (by a longshot) it still takes a back seat (heck it can almost FIT in the backseat of the 65 Linc)


Any recommendations on a real good quality car cover for a MCS F56 that will be outside?


thx

California Car Cover. I have one for my outdoor cars and its outside cover is fitted and works great. Wash the car in the fall and it stays clean the entire winter. Nothing gets thru it. Pricey at about 270 for a mini but totally worth every penny.

When considering a car cover keep one thing in mind. On a windy day a car cover will 'buff' your car just like I would if I had a dry towel wiping down your dry car. It can be very abrasive on paint, especially high spots or ridges. The dustier/dirtier the car is the more damage a windy day and a car cover can do. If you don't have a lot of droppings falling on your car you might be further ahead to put nothing on it and just wash it more frequently.

CoverCraft

I've always had good luck with one of the largest customer car cover manufacturers in the US called CoverCraft.
