Hey, looking to pickup a really good quality all weather year round car cover.
Did a search and havent seen any topics on here about car covers, any of you guys know where to get a nice one?

I would like fitted but i know the reality is probably slim in finding one. i will settle on a universal if need be.

This is however what ive found so far:

I imagine shipping will cost me an arm and a leg from the uk, so i was kind of hoping to find a company in north america that makes these.
although if anyone knows first hand about shipping from the uk or car covers from anywhere in the world please chime in!

Or you can spend 100 and get a premium one by simoniz from Can Tire.

worked perfectly for me last winter.

was the simoniz one completely water proof and breathable? Whats the inside of the cover like? any chances of paint scratching. basically this cover im looking for will not only be for winter storage, but for daily use as i don't want my car in the rain/snow/other elements except when im driving it.

Breathable yes, I don't think you can be water proof and breathable. You don't want water proof, that would prevent moisture from getting in but also getting out speeding up rust/ corrosion.

The inside is very soft, you just need to make sure you wash the car before putting it on. I waxed my car before putting it away and when I took the cover off in the spring there were some light water marks but other than that it looked like I had just put it away.

Yup, get the large one.

This is what I found. I haven't used these personally but they seem to match your criteria. Pretty expensive though.

okay great, thanks guys. i will try the somoniz one until winter and see how it holds up to the west coast rain. $100 is fair to me for an experiment.
