I have the SLP SS cover, but want to buy a car cover that won't scratch the paint, but will be dust & rain proof.

Does anyone have a personal preference for a particular brand of cover?

My vote is for a Noah car cover; it shouldn't scratch your paint like SLP's POS one does.

ditto - I also use a Noah - saved some major damages a few months ago when the ramp fell into the door. Cut the cover, but did not damage the door.

I would recommend the Canvas Shoppe, Inc. Flint, Mi.Their covers are custom made for a specific vehicle. Several materials to choose from, depending upon how you plan to use it.

For excellent indoor use and occasional outdoor use, we use California Car Cover's "Plushweave".
It's cotton on the outside and flannel on the inside.

Received a "plushweave" car cover this week and put it on 99SSC071 today. Good quality and excellent fit - and it doesn't scratch the paint. Dave Milman at California Car Cover was a great help.

Thanks for the tip Teri.

I have 3 Camaro's that each has a Noah Wolf/Kimberly Clark car cover and they are the best! No dust or water or scratches! I had one of our Camaro's sit outside for more than 1 year and all thru the winter and rainy season,the car looked liked I just washed it! There not the cheapest car cover around but you get what you pay for!
