Recommended GTC Car Cover?

Wondering if anyone has any experience with a good quality all-WX car cover for occasional use that doesn't marr-up the paintwork.

I know the Bentley-branded ones are pretty good, but damn pricey for a cover.

Any thoughts?

All covers will scratch the paint. It is inherent in the design, as it could be the cover fabric abrasions or any dust/dirt on the car that the cover rubs, and thus you're 'sandpapering' the car. Only real solution i'm aware of is the inflatable car bubble thing with air filtration system.

....I agree with Steve...covers are a pain...is your car garaged...I haven't used a cover in last 30 years...had 3 or 4 of them...wound up selling them for $20 each...I did see a Bentley under cover at Pebble Beach...fit like a glove...but still wouldn't own one...Just wash my 10Speed once a week...very carefully...still looks like new...doing the leather is bit of chore that I don't do as often as I should...JimB

The car stays indoors, but in the event it had to stay outdoors for a bit I was looking into possible solutions to keep sap and the like off. I hate having to rewash constantly, especially since I have a GTC.

I'd say roughly an hour or so from the area; I've used it for years to do many things on my other cars as well as people that I know. I'm not officially trained but know well how to use it.
