So is there a unanimous choice for the best car cover?

Which car cover are you guys using, and are you happy?

Personally I like the Noah fabric, but it totally depends on your needs. These guys have a selection to meet them all:

Cal Car Cover ? Custom Fit Car Covers, Motorcycle Covers, Cleaning Products, Garage Accessories, Collectibles and More

My garage is my gym, so it will be outdoors in direct sunlight most of the time.

I've been using a cover from PepBoys. It's breathable and waterproof, does a great job protecting the car from UV, rain, snow. I generally change it every 2-3 years depending on how dirty it gets. The main problem for me is the microfiber undercloth, while very soft and great at picking up small leaves and stuff off the surface of the car, leaves behind white "dust" that I have to Swiffer off. It's really only bad cause I have a Magnetic Black car :P They run about $130 because you need to get the SUV-C size since the normal car cover size recommended on the box for a Z doesn't fit. But the SUV-C is perfect.

I purchased the OEM Nissan Car Cover in 02 when we first bought our 350. It is a great fit and will also lock in place. Since we no longer have the 350 and have our new 370 instead, I have found that that same cover fits it as well. It is not as tight, (370 is 4 inches shorter) but it still works very well. Anyway you might want to look into the OEM cover.

That's the same one I have. It works well but as previously stated the size recommended on the box is too small. It doesn't cover the entire rear bumper and wheels. A seam ripped on the rear bumper but I got it for $75 so I'm not complaining too much. I wanna see how it performs when it starts snowing.

Well at least now you know the proper size to get when you get a new one.

Also notice I have a Nismo wing on the rear, which is bigger than the factory spoiler and he cover still fits fine. In fact, even if you put on the raised-up Nismo wing, given how much room the rear of my cover has it would still fit.

Ive been using this carcover Evolution® and its worked great, being in the Navy and leaving my car in a parking lot for a month or two at a time I needed a tough cover that would take everything SoCal can throw at it. When I pull in and take my cover off I have a clean car.
