| if its in a garage he might just want a light dust cover. car covers are expensive.
i use a Wolf brand cover from summit on my car, but for some reason i just didn't even use it this year. | |

| I don't use a cover on my garaged Charger. The reason being that I open my garage door exposing the vehicle to the wind on a regular basis. I don't trust a car cover to be tight enough to not inflate to some degree from the blowing wind that carries debris. I see a potential situation if grit gets underneath the cover and is moved around by subsequent winds while being pushed back down by the cover causing small scratches in the paint. | |

thanks Funny you should ask. I have a new car cover that I put on in the fall. My ride is gar kept. I took it off and never used it again. It comes with a carrying case (if you can figure out how to fold it right to get it back in) Anyway I'll sell it for $30.00. It is a perfect fit on my srt, nothing wrong with it. I just don't use it. | |

this is the exact reason i haven't used it. i used it on my truck when it used to sit all winter. in the spring i had haze on the paint. it looked like holograms. i had to buff it out. it didn't leave any damage but i haven't used the car cover since besides test fitting it on my car. | |

| I also used a car cover last year, but not this year. I paid almost $100 for the car cover and I still thing it made some scratches. This year I said fuck it. | |
