I only have experience with car covers, mostly in California and Washington State..
The type of cover has a lot to do with how well it will protect the paintwork, how easy and lightweight it will be, and how hard it will be to wash it and dry it..
Have seen all the bulky, multi-layer, thick, huge, never fit correctly, excuses for car covers, and never purchased those..
The newer fabrics out are definitely easier to manage, and if you are just looking for protection from junk in the sky or birds, etc., then I would look at the lighter, almost parachute type fabrics that are very easy to install, remove, and wash..
It is possible today, to purchase a really nice, fitted for your vehicle, fits very tightly, light fabric car cover that will fold into a small bag when removed..
This type is the only type I prefer to use..
It is not so light that it is fragile like for example, a very soft cotton, but a type of fabric that is able to protect the finish from junk and UV, give pretty good protection from rain, yet will dry in a few minutes if the sun comes out, and the car will not be dramatically different underneath it..
And I have also washed this type of cover ON the car with just plain car wash soap and a soft brush, rinsed it all off really well, let it dry on the car, removed it, and the car was just fine underneath..
The car cover was now very clean again and you get to start over... The car covers were never damaged by this process, and are still with the vehicles somewhere today..
