High quality outdoor car cover recommendation?
 

There is only one space left in my garage and I must decide whether it is for BRZ or my beloved MDX. The X is 7 years old, but it is our family car. Even though I love BRZ, it is hard to see all the family get out of MDX in the rain and run for the door. It is just not right.

So I think the solution is to buy a good car cover for BRZ and let MDX occupy the garage. After extensive research, the two brands that show up are California Car Cover and Covercraft. It seems that they often use the same material for the car cover. So the question is which material is better and whose craftsmanship is better? Each would cost about $200 and I am wondering what costs are after some kind of deal?

Any recommendation would be highly appreciated.

Great Question. My R8 has one spot and the Wife's Mini has the other so the BRZ is stuck in the cold during the bad winter days. He needs a cover to keep the ice and snow off.

The one in the accessory catalog is pretty nice. I don't usually cover my cars and this one will be used primarily indoors, however.

California in storm weave material. Have had one on my gti for 3 years and it's been nothing but great

Covercraft Evolution, fasntastic covers for the price. Take a look at their webby, tons of options.

Do you have to wash your gti thoroughly and dry each time before you put the cover on? I am concerned about little sand etc trapped underneath the cover. So three years it has been great? I like it a lot. Any tips or comments would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks a lot. May I ask how long have you been using it? And what kind of accessories are the most desirable ones?

I've been lazy and put the cover on the car with it far from spotless plenty of times. And it was a fully re painted, wetsanded flat and buffed show car. It never left any swirls or marks that bothered me and I'm pretty picky when it comes to paint since that's what I do for a living.

I've used them for 12 years now on more then a few vehicles, zero issues and in horrible weather on a few vehicles to. IMO their best value cover overall.

Do you guys use these covers as a daily cover? Like uncover in the morning and cover back up at night? Or are these usually only used for parking your BRZ/FRS outside for long stretches of time?

Here are a few pics of my covercraft evolution cover, fits like a glove

I use one for my vw . it is great!

I purchased this exact cover from this site. I also googled a coupon, I think I got 10% off. I'm very satisfied with this cover, its very high quality, soft, breathable. I leave me car parked at an airport for 20 day intervals.
