The problem with car covers is that unless the paint is perfectly clean when you put one on , you're likely to mar the paint, especially with black, which shows swirls more than any other color. Which means it's not convenient to drive the car if you're planning on putting it back on soon. I wouldn't use one unless I were ready to perfectly clean it first, then store it for a significant length of time. Even then, what's the benefit in a garage? The dust doesn't harm the paint unless you try to remove it with bad techniques. For the amount of dust that can accumulate on it in a garage, you would be better off just doing a rinseless or waterless wash or, if the dust is light enough, using quick detailer.
