I have a medium-grade Block-It fabric and it's great. Very light, good fit, easy to get on/off. There are number of places to purchase from, but I found a good selection here to get you started.

Just be careful to keep the car cover very very clean. I have had issues with small scratches appearing on the car after a little dirt got between the paint and the cover.

Cover King is a good brand. I have used their satin indoor custom form fitting cover for a couple of years now. I would think their exterior covers are just as good. I for sure recomend the interior covers. They come in a number of color choices.

I have covered parking in a shared garage, more of a secure carport really. So I just bought the CoverKing Mosom because it a) was a good price (<$200) and b) it advertised as one of their "softest" models (aside from the aforementioned satin, which I think is more of a "keep it clean" than a protection from the elements). There are choices and give-and-take on the type you need: price, protection from the elements, softness, bulkiness. The coverkings have a nice graph to tell you which style boasts which trait.

Car Covers

I ended up returning the Mosom because it was too bulky- I didn't want to take up that much room in the trunk, and honestly because it was kind of stiff, it didn't seem as soft as advertised on the inside. I bought the Stormproof instead. Fits like a glove- they REALLY do mean custom. The side mirror cover is a little tight when you put the second one on, but otherwise it's a breeze to put on. I got the two tone. I think it was 400ish total, with a small trunk bag and lock.
