Best cover for indoor storage?

Hey guys, what do you feel is the best form fitting cover for indoor storage?. My Gen 6 spends the summer in the garage except on Sundays as I ride my motorcycle back and forth to work so I am looking for a lightweight form fitting cover just to keep the dust off of it. No wind or rain will be involved as it is inside. Thanks.

I bought the 5L and stored my car inside for the last 3 months. I did not find anything I disliked about the cover. You may consider the 2L from CarCovers.

Depends how much you want to spend. They range anywhere from around $50 - $400 depending what you want. I went with a simple indoor cover that fits relatively well. Cost me around $50. As mentioned in the post above, I bought mine through Car Covers.

I've been debating on this one...
http://stores.revolutionparts.com/th...rs?parent=1032 but would also benefit from hearing what others purchased and their experiences.

I have the GM one it's expensive yes but it's really nice cloth on the inside and actually wraps the entire car perfectly here is a picture of it on my car.

I have also just used cheap ones before this and a few tips make sure the car is clean I always wax before I put it away for the winter.

Second it's not something I would take off And on daily it will scratch the car small particles of dust move with the tarp on the clear coat I've stored cars for nearly 15 winters in a row.

But your storing for a longer period so you will be fine!

I have the DUSTOP cover, from Cover Craft. Tan, ventilated and intended for inside use only. It fits well, not too tight, the cutouts for the mirrors fit nicely, same for the shark fin antenna. Soft inside, fairly thick.

https://www.covercraft.com/us/en/pro...r-cover.C-CCDP

I have 3 cats that are vital to rodent elimination on the ranch. They have access to the garage and DO like to sit on the roof of the car. The cover is thick enough, NO marks from the cats .....so far.


The thought of some swirl marks or scratches from the cats is far more livable than a pack rat taking up residence under my hood and chewing up wires.

I almost ordered from carcovers.com as well until I read the worse then terrible reviews about their customer service and the quality of their covers. What are your thoughts on the cover since you have one?

You guys need to iron those wrinkles out that would drive me nuts.

All in good fun covers a cover!

ALERT! Two months back I ordered a Carcover , cover through a Parts company. I specified a 2017 Camaro, SS, with roof antenna.

The cover was made from nice material but I could not get BOTH mirrors into the cover. It was like 8-10 inches too short. It was useless.

I e mailed the company. I was assigned a Rep and sent photos as requested. I then sent more photos. Weeks went by and they finally sent a label to return it. I used my credit with the Parts company to buy the Covercraft. I probably wasted 2 hours of my life e mailing, returning e mails, taking photos, then more, sending them all, etc.

Beware.
