I have a California Car Cover as well. It works really well considering that I leave it on my car solid from the end of October to the beginning of April and the car comes out from hibernation looking pristine. They will run you about 230 or so bucks if I remember correctly but are custom fit like a glove. Get the cable lock for it too if you plan on using it for a while outside.

Hey partyman66 wanted to ask you where you live that you're able to leave the cover on for that long with no problems.

And I assume you leave it inside your garage?

G35 Cover.............

Yea, me too! California Car Cover is what I've been
using since the mid 80's. They stand behind their
products 100%.......good to know! They also sell my
favorite wax........Zymol. You can call them at
800-423-5525 or email at www.calcarcover.com
FYI....the car cover I use is made by them out of
NOHA material that's good indoors and out.....LOL

I got a "Stillen brand" cover from Stillen. The car stays parked outside underneath pine trees, so a cover was deemed a necessity. To date, I have had the cover for a year and it is holding up well.

I'm just afraid of using a cover cuz you're essentially scratching the paint everytime you put the cover on.

That's exactly my fear. Anyone want to give your input on this issue? Thanks!

I have had good experience with my NOAH cover. Good for all year around, its breathable but still has a little padding so that if a car door or something touches it it provides some protection.

You need to be carefull putting any cover on or off. DO NOT slide it. You want to roll or fold it. Even if the underside of the cover is soft, any dirt, dust, etc. that is on your finish will not be.

I have the OEM car cover and it works great. Fits really nicely.

Sorry for the delayed response... I didn't see your question till now.

I live in Massachusetts. I leave my car cover on outside because I don't have a garage. The cover fits the car perfectly and covers every inch of paint, the exhaust tips and about 90% of the wheels. It also has special little pockets for the side view mirrors.

Before I cover the car up, I do a full winterization(change oil and coolant and add stabil), plus wash the entire car, wax the whole thing as well is the door jambs and inside the trunk and engine bay, then remove the battery as well as anything inside the car. Once I uncover the car in the Spring, it looks as good as the day I put it under the cover. No spots, no dirt, nothing is on the car. I was very amazed to see how perfect the finish was after being outside for soo long with just a cover over it.
