I didn't get the SLP cover with the car because I figured that I didn't particularly like the SLP cover and I figured that I would get one when and if I needed it. Well, now I need it. So, which is the best cover? I have heard a lot about the Evolution. Where do you get them and how much?

thanks

We bought the PlushWeave. It's great for indoor storage and occasional outdoor storage.

It's a cotton outer shell with a very soft cotton flannel liner.

If it's for out door storage, go with the Noah from Cover Craft. It fits like a glove, keeps the car totally dry & dries quicker than any cover I've ever seen. Plus the material is soft and really easy on the paint.

Shay - that's the one I was thinking of. Where can I get one? Do I have to order it online? Available at auto parts stores?

Thanks

Here's another source in addition to the one I listed above:
http://bhma.com

We have car covers from both Bev. Hills Motoring and Calif. Car Cover.

I'd recommend either company. Go with the one that'll give you the best price on their Noah cover.

I might be wrong but I think the evolution IV and the noah cover are made of the same material that kimberly-clark mfgs (or used to)

Thanks for the responses.

Unfortunately Amy, I will be parking your car outside at night.

I just moved and so I have to park outside until I build a garage or carport, and that isn't gonna happen until late April/May. So I figure a cover will be best - it's only for a few months and it's not like the weather is that bad here.
