Why would you cover it?

Do you intend to not drive it for a very long time?

in my experience car covers do more damage then good, especially if you keep it in a garage. The process of taking it on or off rubs the dirt into the paint cause fine scratches (even if its kept "Clean" there is still dirt)

If you keep it outside then i suggest getting one of the larger quick tents that has the sides you can seal off

Did you try outmotoring?

This.

Better to leave it garaged and uncovered if you intend to drive it at all. If you intend to park it for an extended period of time (years), then cover it, sure.
