Default Which car cover do you guys recommend?

Since I got my new Jaguar the other day, and it has to stay outside for a little while instead of covered, I'd like to purchase a nice car cover so I can keep the sunlight from being on the paint directly. Also, after I wash and detail it, it'll be nice to have it to help keep it nice and shiny for longer.

I'm in the States, so I need a good company over here to purchase from. I found 2 places that have the soft inner lining, some rated at 10 years, some 5 years, etc depending on options chosen. They were both $150, just didn't know if there was a particular brand or model that's highly recommended among Jaguar owners.

Hi Matt

For me, its 'Covercraft' all day long, they do several different types and the quality and fit are excellent

The ones I use are made of 'Noah' and are breathable

I have one from Empire. It works as advertised.

Thanks,

agree with Orangeblossom, the Covercraft. I bought one of the top ones and love it.

How long have you guys had them and how often do you take them off and put them back on? I read quite a bit yesterday about Empire, Seal Skin, Cover King, even Covercraft were getting quite a bit of negative reviews about seams coming undone, easily tearing, inner lining flaking off, bleaching out, elastic wearing out, barely keeping any water off the car, etc from even the $300-400 units from Covercraft, also everyone being extremely difficult to deal with on customer service and warranty issues when they fell apart within 6 months (sometimes longer).

I don't plan on removing it every day but I dont want to spend $200 or more on a cover that wont keep it dry or tears when I need to remove it to drive it or work on it. Why can't people just make quality stuff anymore and actually stand behind their warranty? :-(
