Winter F56 MINI cover

I live in Colorado and get a good amount of lousy winter weather.

I bought an F56 over the summer. It's parked outside and will stay outside over the winter. This winter I plan to use my old Jeep as the daily driver and only drive my MINI occasionally.

Any suggestions for a car cover? Either a specific car cover or a good manufacturer.

If this topic has been discussed before please point me in the right direction.

Modern paint is so good....
I would suggest skipping a cover...
If not on tight...they can move in the wind...and cause scratches from rubbing...covers in a garage to keep dust off are OK...but outside...they give owners a false sense of "doing something good" to protect their cars.

One more bit if info...
I would give it a good wax...
Then drive every 2 or 3 weeks....modern cars LIKE to be driven.....
And back when I lived in the Denver area, I bet 50%+ of the winter is perfect for driving a mini...clean, dry roads....best if all...no salt!!
