Waterproof ones are pathetic at best.
Moving on to indoor pieces....

The quality Heavy Branda ones which JIm also sells are nice but leave their own form of "dust" on your vehicle.  Which may or may not be a disqualification depending on who the buyer is.

I recommend the Covercraft Form fit covers.  I have two of them and there is virtually no dust on my cars after being covered for 3 to 4 weeks at a time.

I like the flannel type covers (Durafin, I think) available from a number of Mustang/Shelby vendors. Heavy but seems to save the paint.  Only for indoor use.  Good protection also against minor accidents such as dropped items (not metal tools) or rubbing the the sides with hard objects like boxes.  No scratches appeared.   8)

  How about "Car Capsule".  It completely encloses the car inside a bubble.  No dust from nowhere.  OK, a little difficult taking your car in and out if you do this a lot.  I take down my antenna so I don't break it as the plastic is heavy.  4 years, I'm still happy with it.

The recommendations are a good sign. Tight fitting car covers scare me tho.
Scratching risk vs loose cover?

I still sell the flannel soft on the inside covers-  some call it plush weave.  Most vendors get $249  including Cal Car Cover.  I sell them for $195  and it costs $20 to ship.  they make them with the extra length for the 69 Shelby

These are inside covers

I got several from Jim over the years . They have my vote . They have had to go through wash cycles over time and have done so without issue.

The form fit covers have a very soft lining.  When they get dusty, I just put them in my clothes dryer set on cool and they are ready to use.
