Agree - have used Covercraft for years both storage and daily
driver - drive to work, park and cover, uncover, drive home, park
in garage, repeat. Never had any issues - but this was factory
paint that may be more resistant than repaint?

With due respect, I've used technalon / covercraft
heavy breathable car covers for decades indoor and even
outdoor and have never encountered a scratch when
installed clean and dry. I'd never cover my car with a
non-breathable plastic other than to protect it from
something temporarily. Just my 2 cents...
Just in case you needed to know, this was sent from my
iPhone.
I'm talking hyper thin clear plastic, not the
thicker type. No way around a car cover not
scratching paint.

I would never use painters plastic on any
of my cars. It traps moisture and out-gasses.
I used it many years ago on a Corvair, and it
ruined the paint. The plastic out-gassed onto
the paint and no amount of rubbing or
polishing took out the marks. I had to repaint
the entire car. I use a cover called Sunbrella
from Weathertech. Not cheap, but works well,
doesn't scratch the paint, and easily stores
in its own bag. I used it for many years on my
black 300H. Another good cover is
Weathershield. I use it on my Jeep.

Car covers scratch paint so bad. If
sitting for a long time just get super
light painters plastic and lay on top.
Just make sure the car is very clean
before covering

Be sure to get a
premium cover. A fellow
member recently reported paint
damage to his car from motion
by the cover while under that
cover in his garage. Must
have been a little drafty in
there. You may have to do
something special to
accommodate a radio antenna.

Even though I
keep my 64 300
inside, it still
gets dirty between
outings, so I need a
lightweight cover,
any recommendations
on what size will
fit?
