I ended up going with a waterproof breathable cover from Empire Car Covers
I was going to go with cover king, but it looks like the same cover, but $100 bucks cheaper.

 

LOL Thelma and Louise would claw their way into this in a week!!! JK but I can definitely see my two cats trying!!!

Ahhh the old cheap-o car cover works just fine. I have no complaints, except it did blow off once on an extremely windy day! Oh well. Still works ok.

Where do you store your cover when it's not on the car, mine won't fit back in the bag.

 

Have you tried folding it?
The secret of these things is to fold it so the cover is of equal thickness all over and just short enough to go into the bag.
I swear they must have specials schools in China to teach packing like this and design classes on how to to use the minimum amount of material for the bag.

 

mine just gets rolled up and put on a chair on the patio... till I get home, then it goes back on the car!!!

 

I found that my old luggage mid-size bag fits it perfectly!! So, I use that. (Had four of them, various sizes. Don't need four iwth just me AND since I travel in the XF most of the time...)

 

Mine fits perfectly in the bag.

 

I like that idea

 

I recently got the dustop cover custom fit with pockets for the side mirrors. Fits perfectly and not one spec of dust or dirt (and it is dusty where I live). The under side is very soft material and I know the car is safe from and scratches... and the material is thick enough to handle dents and dings. I wish I bought one sooner. 200 dollars but worth every penny in my book! Sometimes you have to pay to get something good and not some 40 dollar cheap cover at walmart. I had one of those... no good!

 

I ordered some clear covers to try on my xfire . States they are used in body shops to keep cars clean 9.95 +ship order 3 of the small. They offer 3 sizes. I keep my car semi indoors ,so i am going to give them a try!

 

+1 for empirecovers, my car was getting slammed by pollen, I was getting sick of washing it everyday. I went with the tyvek cover, light weight and snug fit. the pollen blows right off now.

 

I paid 200 for a custom cut cover with pockets for the mirrors. The thing fits like a glove and wraps it VERY nicely all the way down to the wheels. There is no way a mouse could even climb into the tailpipe. There is not much in this world that impresses me but that cover did when I put it on. It was one of those dustops and has very soft material underneath. Keeps the car 100% free from dust. Not a speck and it is very dusty where I live! It is meant for inside not outside... but they make the same cover with different materials for the outside. I just decided for the inside cover.

You want a 30 dollar cover then great. But if you really want something nice pay extra. It is worth every penny.
