I’m in the market for an inexpensive indoor cover just to protect from dust during storage. I’d like something that fits reasonably well and has a soft layer that touches the paint. I’ve searched quite a bit and thought I’d found something to fill the bill at Wally World’s web site. The description claimed it was for hatchback cars such as the Suzuki SX4, so I figured it might fit and the price was dirt cheap. But, when it arrived, the material from which it was made looked like a woven paper towel; something not particularly paint friendly. So I returned it w/o even trying it on for size. Most if not all of the $100 and under covers I’ve seen are universal fit – even those on eBay advertised for the MINI. Have any of you purchased a cover that fits well (covers down to the rocker panels) & is made from non-scratching material for $100 or less?

 

FYI You get what you pay for. $100 is not much money to spend to protect you car.

But here is a link to another possible place to get one as low a $25.49

Thanks for your response. I posted a question about Empire covers several weeks ago as to fit & quality, but got no answers.

As it turns out, I was able to buy a used $369 Sumbrella cover described as in excellent condition on eBay last evening for $91 and change including shipping - so I'm set. Again, thanks for your comments.

 

I just listened to a Car Stuff podcast today on long term car storage... they recommended an oscillating fan to keep the dust off and avoid the risk of scratching paint. I don't know if it is a good idea or not, but I thought it was worth mentioning for some reason.
