It has been 5 years since I bought this cover. The goal: a dust stopping indoor cover that was kind to a high-end black paint job. Price was $220.81 with tax, shipping and dual mirror pockets
The cover worked as advertised for the first several years but I have noticed more and more dust the last couple of years. I chalked it up to sitting too much and dirt working upwards. However, I came to the conclusion that it is the fabric that is now breaking down and shedding dust. When I uncover the car it looks bad. I called California Car Covers and they now tell me that this is normal for these covers even stored inside like mine. So if you are thinking of one of these be prepared for a relatively short service life. The cover still looks fine but the car is dusty when it is removed. I ordered a different cover. Shop carefully..... |

For an indoor cover the good ole fashioned cotton flannel ones work best & last almost forever, without the synthetic fabric breaking down into that "dust" - IMHO.
A few places still sell them. Wolf used to sell them with the "ears" for mirrors - not sure about now. |
