Best car cover?

I looked at the wolf ones, but I know jack squat about car covers. I never had one before but I want to keep my car looking good, so Im in the market. What would you guys recommend?

This is too easy, I have OCD about my cars and home. For years I've been using California Car Covers using the Noah fabric, keeps out moisture and dust along with a perfect/tight fit. www.calcarcover.com or 800-423-5525 Regardless of which car cover you buy they're going to be close to $200 but CCC warrantys their's for 4 years. My wife uses this car cover too, after 3 years 11 months it developed a tear. CCC replaced it with a new one, can't beat that....

I've got a Covercraft NOAH custom fit car cover. I would have gotten a California Car Cover, like Gary has, but they don't make custom fit ones for the 1st gen Sedan.

^^^+1000 for the Covercraft Noah car cover.
I had one for my 07 G35, now I have one for my 09 FX35. I have no garage so my vehicles are always outside.

How is it as far as rain and snow? Any idea of the UV protection? I heard bad stuff about the OEM one like the member posted above, but its just opinions. Who knows haha

Check out this table, it rates each cover fabric in performance of different types of weather elements.
