Default Car cover's.

Hi guy's, I am looking into a car cover for my XW wagon, it spend's all of it's life in a colourbond shed up the back, but does get a little dusty just sitting there.

Has anyone looked into a good company that makes a quality car cover that won't scratch and is breathable and won't hold moisture ?

Any idea's ?.

IMO bed sheets are hard to beat if your car is parked in a dry shed.

You can machine wash them too which is hard for a large car cover.

Anything that actually touches the paintwork will do damage to some extent.

This is the best option that I have seen/used. Self supporting frame so nothing touches the car, and high airflow to evaporate moisture and slow down the rusting!
