    Agreed. If I didn`t have a garage, I`d get that one.

    Go to carcoverworld.com and read up on the materials and uses. We have 3 cars but only a 2 car garage so the "beater" sleeps outside. I got one of the high end covers from these guys (don`t recall if it is indeed the Weathershield - silly me) and love it. I always at least go over the car with a California Duster before covering it, and let me tell you, last week when it rained for a day and a half but the car was covered after a good "dusting" and QD, it was spotless when I took the cover off after everything dried. Great investment.

    i would like one that is water PROOF, not just resistant. it is parked under a cover, but under heavy rain, the water gets on the car of course.



    which of the california covers will be water proof in an instance like this?

    I recommend a "Weathershield" custom fit car cover.



    I have one myself, and its one of the best investments I made for my car!

    I always take the "lets condensation escape but keeps water out!" claims with a grain of salt. And FWIW, I sure wouldn`t want something truly waterproof lest the inevitable condensation gets trapped against the paint. IMO this is gonna be an imperfect solution no matter what so just decide what`s really important to you.



    What about those car capsules? They make one for outside use. Looks like a big green plastic balloon.

    yeah, that`s a good point. the only thing is that water can etch into paint if you don`t use a waterproof car cover for sure...or possibly can. right?
