Car Covers

I am building a new garage this summer & will need to store my car outside during construction. Who makes the best car cover and who sells them at a good price? I would like the fitted style with the mirror pockets, but any suggestions are helpful. I plan on using the cover on the car inside the garage once the car's painted.

I bought a cover with mirror pockets from Classic Industries and am very happy with it. I think it cost about $140.

I've never heard of NOAH. Where do you get them and how much do they go for? I know covers come in different types of materials. I will need a weatherproof material. Anyone else have any recommendations?

NOAH car covers are made by WOLF. I got mine at Summit Racing for around $150.00 I know as far as sun and rain they are very good.

I don't remember where I got mine, it's been a long time. Just make sure it's evolution 4 material, that's the good stuff!

Im probably a little late but has anyone had good experiences with a car cover thats protects the car from the rain. I've bought some car covers and after i washed it, started to drizzle after i put the car cover and took it out, the car was real dirty. What im trying to ask, if there is such a car cover that repels water from your paint.

Not real sure if I understand your question but I believe with most good covers they do let in a little moisture but only because the little holes let the moisture evaporate away. If it rains and your cover will get wet, and suppose it will keep your car completely dry you will get condensation under the cover and it will not be able to evaporate it would not be good for your paint.
